Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to obtain Cu based organic@inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (Cu-hNFs) cheaply and effectively by using Tornabea scutellifera lichen extract as the organic component instead of expensive bio-molecules such as DNA and enzymes. The effects of lichen extract concentration and pH of PBS buffer on the morphology of Cu-hNFs synthesized by the coordination of T. scutellifera lichen extract and Cu+2 were exam-ined. It has been determined that Cu-hNFs did not synthesized under the pH & LE;5 and, pH> 9 conditions of the PBS. Different morphological structures of Cu-hNFs synthesized under the pH 7.4 and, 9 conditions of PBS have been identified. In addition, it has been observed that the extract concentration used as an organic com-ponent has a significant effect on the morphology of Cu-hNFs. It has been recorded that synthesized Cu-hNFs have antioxidant activity against DPPH (IC50 = 0.98 mg/ml, R2 = 0.9834). In addition, catalytic activity was demonstrated depend on pH of PBS and, concentration of Cu-hNFs against methylene blue and brillant blue. It is thought that these research data will be a guide for the synthesis and application potentials of various nanomaterials with T. scutellifera extract. & COPY; 2023 SAAB.
