CuO nanoparticles (NPs) can boost germination and seedling development of agricultural crops. However, it is either extremely contradictory or difficult to compare in terms of doses, dimension, nature, stability of CuO NPs and activity of stabilizing agents. This study focused on synthesis and characterization of CuO NPs stabilized with various polysaccharides. CuO NPs-hyaluronic acid complex was the most energetically favorable and stable. 0.1 mg/L CuO NPs led to the highest germination energy, germinability, and root and seedling lengths, while higher concentrations had growth suppression or inhibition effect on seedling and root development. Histological studies showed noticeable structural changes caused by intense Cu translocation and accumulation: Cu content reached 56.01 μg/L at 100 mg/L CuO NPs, which affected antioxidant activity and photosynthesis indicators. Interestingly, the growth-stimulating effect of CuO NPs stabilized with hyaluronic acid at a concentration of 0.1 mg/L, contrasted with a pronounced toxic effect observed at 100 mg/L.

The selective synthesis of different products from a substrate employing a single catalyst by altering the reaction conditions is challenging. Herein, easy-to-synthesize and cheap CuO NPs catalyzed chemodivergent transfer hydrogenation (TH) of azoarenes to hydrazoarene and aniline derivatives using ammonia borane (AB) under mild condition is disclosed. The practical applicability of the protocol was demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis of hydrazo and aniline derivatives as well as by the reduction of few commercially used dyes such as methyl red, sudan I, sudan III and solvent yellow 7.

CuO nanoparticles (NPs) have raised significant concerns due to their extensive application in agriculture and potential ecological impacts in recent decades. Identification of the action mechanisms for soil microbiota response in a long exposure time with respect to the chemical speciation of CuO NPs remained scarce. A 63-day laboratory soil microcosms experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of CuO NPs along with its dissolved Cu on soil microbiota.

Nanofibers based on polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene/poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P(VDF-TrFE)/P3HT) containing copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were fabricated using the electrospinning technique. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed smooth, bead-free solid nanofibers of 34-100 nm diameters. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows the ferroelectric β phase of P(VDF-TrFE) with a wide diffraction pattern.

The development of highly operational, reusable, multifunctional antibacterial agents has become an urgent need of the hour in terms of environmental safety and sustenance. This study was aimed at determining newly emerging bacterial pathogens in the wastewater effluent of broiler chicken and dairy cattle farms, beside their slaughterhouses. Also, the study assesses the biocidal effect of chitosan (CS), terminator disinfectant (TD), copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs), and terminator-based copper oxide nanoparticles (TD/CuO-NPs) against isolated emerging bacterial pathogens from wastewater effluents.
