Abstract

The present research work reports the facile and green synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles from Phyllanthus niruri leaf extract using the coprecipitation method. The plant biomolecules were responsible for the nanoproduction and exhibited reduction and stabilization activity. The green synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles were analyzed in various characterization methods. The crystalline size (23 nm) and anatase phase of TiO2 nanoparticles were analyzed from X-ray diffraction study. The reduction and stabilization response functional group of TiO2 nanoparticles was studied from FTIR analysis. The optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles were constructed from the UV-DRS technique, and their calculated bandgap is 3.16 eV. The spherical morphology and their existing materials were identified using FESEM with EDX. The catalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles was examined against methylene blue dye under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation. It was detected that ultraviolet irradiation showed higher photocatalytic activity than visible light irradiation. In addition, visible light irradiation provides the above 90 percentage degradation of methylene blue dye. Hence, TiO2 nanoparticles were proposed as a potential catalyst of photocatalytic dye degradation application and water remediation activities.
