In recent years, several physicochemical methods have been proposed for decolourising textile dyes; however, few have been adopted by the textile industry because of factors such as high cost, low efficiency, and limited applicability to a wide range of dyes. The current study focuses on synthesising algae-mediated Cu and CuO nanocatalysts (Alg-Cu and Alg-CuO) using natural waste materials from green algae. The synthesised Alg-CuO nanocatalyst was characterised and confirmed using SEM, TEM, UV, FT-IR, XRD, XPS, GC-MS, and TGA.

Various spectral and chromatographic techniques were used to elucidate the structure of the synthesised derivatives (1-14). The synthesised compounds were then inspected for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and tyrosinase inhibition activities.
