Abstract

In the present work, straw like copper oxide nanostructure were successfully prepared by electrochemical reduction method by applying constant current density. The tetraethylammonium bromide used as surfactant in an aqueous medium. The various parameter such as concentration of surfactant, current density, electrolysis time and separation distance between the electrodes were used for monitoring nanoparticles size and to prevent agglomeration. The characterization of synthesized nanoparticles was done by using analytical techniques like XRD, SEM, EDX, HRTEM and XPS. The synthesized CuO NPs were studied spectrophotometrically for their antioxidant potential using modified DPPH assay. These nanoparticles exhibited pronounced antioxidant activity.
