Summary:Chemical reduction technique is employed to synthesis copper nanoparticles. This method involves simple operation, low cost and faster reaction rate with low energy consumption. Copper nanoparticles are playing key role in the application of optics, electronics, biosensors, antimicrobial and electrochemical sensor fields. In this method Copper acetate monohydrate Cu (CH3COO)2 used as a precursor, Hydrazine hydrate (N2H6O) as a reducing agent and Poly vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP K-40) as a capping agent. These nanoparticles are characterized by XRD, PSA.UV-V Spectroscopy, SEM, and EDAX.
