| Abstract
Cuprous oxide nanoparticles (Cu2ONPs) were synthesized on a gram scale via bottom-up approach without making use of any hazardous stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles were coated on qualitative cellulose filter paper via dip coating method. UV-Visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and electron microscopy were used to characterize synthesized Cu2O NPs and Cu2O NPs coated filter paper (Cu2O NPs-FP). The antibacterial activity of Cu2O NPs-FP was studied against E. coli DH5α and compared with commonly accessible face masks. |
