Abstract

This research aims to synthesize copper (II) oxide nanoparticles using pistachio peel extract. The chemical compounds in pistachio skin can help as stabilizers in synthesizing copper (II) oxide nanoparticles. Synthesized nanoparticles were identified and characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), X-ray energy diffraction spectroscopy (EDAX), ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV-Vis), and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR). According to the SEM images, the obtained nanoparticles have almost spherical and irregular shapes with variable approximate sizes ranging from 90 to 120 nm. The synthesized copper(II) oxide nanoparticles were used as photocatalysts in the degradation of eosin Y, methylene blue, and rhodamine B dyes under visible and ultraviolet light irradiation, and the investigation of the results of dye degradation using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra showed significant results. The highest percentage of dye degradation was obtained by 93% under UV radiation related to Eosin Y.
