Preparation and characterization of CuO NPs via laser ablation under electric field and study their antibacterial activity

Antibiotic activity of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) produced via pulse laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) process with the electric field was investigated. The optical and structural properties for CuO NPs were characterized using FTIR, UV-VIS, and AFM. In case of CuO only, it was found to have an effect on all bacterial species with some variation. However, when NPs are mixed with antibiotics, there is an obvious many difference in the...
