A critical green biosynthesis of novel CuO/C porous nanocomposite via the aqueous leaf extract of Ficus religiosa and their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and adsorption properties

Herein, we report the biosynthesis of Copper oxide/Carbon (CuO/C) nanocomposite via the aqueous decoction of Ficus religiosa leaves as a capping factor, an origin of carbon and a reducing agent. CuSO4.5H2O solution is adopted as the precursor for synthesizing CuO/C nanocomposite. The biosynthesized...
