Summary: Metal nanoparticles synthesized by the green synthesis approach have demonstrated biocompatibility and eco-friendly attributes. A laser-induced bio reduction work using Centella asiatica extract was successfully achieved on copper oxide nanoparticles for the first time. This synthesis technique is simple and effective, allowing for the synthesis of stable copper nanoparticles with different shapes. Various characterization techniques revealed the ability of these nanoparticles to regulate the crystalline nature and morphology of the integrated specimen. Furthermore, the obtained copper oxide nanoparticles have catalytic activity in reducing the absorbance of methylene blue.
