The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not Ocimum basilicum plant extract can be used to synthesize copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) at room temperature. There are no hazardous chemicals used in this process, making it fully environmentally friendly. Copper sulfate get dried out (CuSO4.5H2O) and a fluid extract of the leaves of Ocimum basilicum were consolidated to make the CuO NPs. UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier-change infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and filtering electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to investigate the biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles. UV-vis spectroscopy had the option to distinguish the CuO NPs and affirm their presence.The useful gatherings of the dynamic still up in the air from the FTIR spectra of both the control (leaf extract) and the created CuO NPs.The particles were determined to be spherical and to have a size of less than 70 nm, as shown by scanning electron microscopy photographs. Disc diffusion testing was also used to examine the produced CuO NPs for antibacterial activity. By observing inhibition zones surrounding each well, it was determined that the nanoparticles inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, two harmful bacterial strains
