Green synthesis of nanocellulose supported cu-bionanocomposites and their profound applicability in the synthesis of amide derivatives and controlling of food-borne pathogens.

Copper bionanocomposites (CBNCS) were synthesized using Ipomoea carnea- sourced nanocellulose as support via an eco-friendly and cost-effective method. X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) pattern of CBNCS confirmed the octahedral structure of CuO, the face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure of Cu(0). XRD also revealed the crystal lattice of cellulose II.

Livistona jekinsiana fabricated ZnO nanoparticles and their detrimental effect towards anthropogenic organic pollutants and human pathogenic bacteria.

An environment-friendly and economically sound method was developed to achieve a multi-functional ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using water extract of Livistona jekinsiana. The ZnO NPs absorbed maximum wavelength of light at 332 nm in UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV/Vis). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed the crystallinity of the nanoparticles with the crystallite size around 22.
