Green synthesis of multifunctional carbon coated copper oxide nanosheets and their photocatalytic and antibacterial activities

Abstract The studies of metal oxides in environmental remediation of chemical and biological pollutants are gaining colossal importance. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of multifunctional copper oxide nanosheets (CuO NS) using an aqueous extract of Rhazya stricta. The phytochemical investigat...
