The present study investigates the biogenic synthesis of copper oxide (CuO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using the green microalga Chlorella vulgaris as a Reducing and stabilizing agent1. Biogenic nanoparticle synthesis has emerged as an Eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional chemical and physical Methods. In this study, aqueous extracts of Chlorella vulgaris were used to Synthesize CuO and ZnO nanoparticles by reducing copper sulfate and zinc nitrate Precursors, respectively2. The formation of nanoparticles was initially indicated by Color changes in the reaction mixtures, and further confirmed using UV-visible Spectroscopy. The characteristic absorbance peaks observed for CuO and ZnO Nanoparticles confirmed their formation and stability3This study highlights the potential of Chlorella vulgaris in the green Synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles paving the way for applications in biomedical and environmental fields.
