摘要
To promote environmental development and sustain resource circularity, recycling metals from electronic waste is essential. Electronic waste is a significant secondary source of metals, with its production increasing rapidly and most remaining unrecycled. In solar panels, copper is the second-most-valuable metal after silver. We propose an innovative method to recycle copper from waste solar panels and convert it into copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) using a green synthesis method. Synthesizing CuONPs is advantageous due to their large surface area compared to bulk material. Nitric acid, a strong oxidizing agent, was used to leach copper from solid copper wires in waste solar panels. A green synthesis method, following a bottom-up approach, was employed using Piper nigrum fruit extract to synthesize CuONPs. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using various qualitative and quantitative techniques. Spectroscopic analysis confirmed the formation of CuONPs, and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the nanoparticles were spherical with sizes up to 60 nm. Biomolecules from the Piper nigrum extract were detected on the surface of the crystalline CuONPs. These nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus using a well-diffusion method, showing a larger zone of inhibition for E. coli compared to S. aureus. This research demonstrates the complete recovery of copper from waste solar panels and its conversion into useful CuONPs, which have potential medicinal applications.
