TI  - Muntingia calabura Leaves Mediated Green Synthesis of CuO Nanorods: Exploiting 
      Phytochemicals for Unique Morphology.

AB  - In this study, phytochemical assisted nanoparticle synthesis was performed using 
      Muntingia calabura leaf extracts to produce copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) 
      with interesting morphology. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission 
      electron microscope (TEM) analysis of the biosynthesized CuO NPs reveal formation 
      of distinct, homogeneous, and uniform sized CuO nanorods structure with thickness 
      and length of around 23 nm and 79 nm, respectively. Based on Fourier-transform 
      infrared (FTIR) analysis, the unique combinations of secondary metabolites such 
      as flavonoid and polyphenols in the plant extract are deduced to be effective 
      capping agents to produce nanoparticles with unique morphologies similar to 
      conventional chemical synthesis. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis verified the 
      monoclinical, crystalline structure of the CuO NPs. The phase purity and chemical 
      identity of the product was consolidated via X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy 
      (XPS) and Raman spectroscopic data which indicate the formation of a single phase 
      CuO without the presence of other impurities. The direct and indirect optical 
      band gap energies of the CuO nanorods were recorded to be 3.65 eV and 1.42 eV.
