Amino Acid as Capping Agent for Electrolytic Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles

Abstract

Copper nanoparticles are the excellent resources for several applications, that include future nano-based circuits, wound healing materials and many more. Here, we have explored the synthesis of copper nanoparticles by electrolytic method of reduction using amino acids as capping agent. Unlike the other methods of nanoparticles, electrolytic synthesis is a non-toxic way of preparation and our amino acid capped copper nanoparticles were analyzed by SEM and XRD
