The need to carry out research focused on novel ecological protocols has increased exponentially, motivated by the common aim to reduce toxic by-products drawback from chemical and physical methods. Amongst different living organisms studied as potential candidates for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, algae biomass is presented as a novel and easy-to-handle. We evaluate the influence of reaction parameters in the synthesis of copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) using Macrocystis pyrifera free-biomass non-boiled (FBNB) extract.
