In this paper, brief reviews for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles by the different green routes are described. Since last few years, synthesis of nanoparticles has been attracted considerable attention. The metal oxides are important technology materials used as antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal as well as catalysts in chemical industries and in electronic and photonic devices. Due to the applications in advanced technologies, researchers have focused more on synthesis of CuO nanoparticles with improved, cost effective ecofriendly synthetic strategies. Copper oxide nanoparticles appear as a brownish-black powder. They can be reduced to metallic copper when exposed to hydrogen or carbon monoxide under high temperature. Copper oxide nanoparticles are used in wide range of applications such as biological, catalysis, gas sensors, magnetic storage media, batteries, solar energy transformer, semiconductors, and field emission. CuO, as a P-type semiconductors exhibiting narrow band gap, have attracted great attention due to its potential application in Nano devices such as electronic, optoelectronics.
