Herein we present our research on the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles on the surface of electrospun cellulose (CE) nanofibers using alkali lignin as a reducing agent. Fascinatingly, CA nanofibers were deacetalized during alkali lignin treatment, which was verified by FTIR-ATR spectra. The morphology of the produced nanofibers was observed with SEM and TEM. The presence of CuO nanoparticles was verified by EDX, XRD, and XPS. The Cu/CE nanofibers showed low thermal stability. MVTR values of 2100–1900 g/m²/day are adequate for the transport of air and moisture from the wound surface. The Cu/CE showed faster release (80%) of copper ions to aqueous environment within 24 h and seemed to advance towards plateau for the next five days. The Cu/CE nanofibrous mats exhibited excellent antibacterial efficacy against both gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. NIH3T3 fibroblast cells have excellent migrating and proliferating ability on our prepared nanofibrous mats. The presence of bound alkali lignin on the surface of nanofibers added a benefit of antioxidant activity. These findings revealed that such type of nanofibrous mats could be used as a potential wound dressing material.
