Abstract
The ecofriendly and sustainable method of green synthesis of nanoparticles gained a lot of popularity these days. Azadirachta indica (neem) leaves are used in this study to identify the eco friendly synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs). TiO 2 NPs can be easily and sustainably synthesized from titanium precursors using neem leaves having bioactive compounds. Green production of TiO 2 NPs is facilitated by the stabilizing and capping properties of neem leaves. UV-visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were among the characterization techniques which are used to analyse the physical, chemical and surface properties of the synthesized nanoparticles. As per the results of XRD, the green synthesized TiO 2 NPs have a spherical shape and an average crystalline size of 33.91 ± 0.5 nm. Results support the nanocrystalline structure and reveal well dispersed, desirable physical and chemical characteristics. Beyond being rapid, affordable, and eco-friendly, this green synthesis approach also expects to enhance the potential applications of the synthesized nanoparticles.
