Copper Oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were synthesized through a green approach using the papaya and banana peel reducing as well as a stabilizing agents and copper (II) nitrate trihydrate salt as a precursor. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscop...
