Antibacterial mechanism of biogenic copper nanoparticles synthesized using Heliconia psittacorum leaf extract
Here, we report on the novel green synthesis of metallic copper nanoparticles from copper sulfate solution by using the leaf extract of Heliconia psittacorum. The stability and gradual formation of copper nanoparticles during interaction with the extract were investigated using ultraviolet-visible s...
