Abstract :
The colossal significance of nanostructured
materials and their implications as a coherent incentive
for the exploration of novel conventional techniques.
Biogenic synthesis of nanostructured materials utilizing
natural herb extracts has enthralled prodigious
implications owing to its rapid, clean, eco-friendly, nontoxic, cost-effective, and as a flipside pathway to several
chemical and physiochemical approaches. Titanium oxide
materials have been the cynosure for several propitious
implications due to their low cost, availability, chemical
stability, and biocompatibility. Herein, we developed an
efficient green chemistry method for the synthesis of
titanium oxide nanoparticles utilizing neem (Azadirachta
Indica) extracts. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed
the polycrystalline titanium oxide (rutile) structure. The
spherical shape of the nanoparticles was observed in TEM
and SEM images and their size ranged from 10-20 nm.
UV-vis studies showed an exciton emission peak at about
380 nm while the IR transmission spectrum revealed the
characteristic stretching modes of TiO2. It is envisioned
that this novel route for the synthesis ofTiO2nanoparticles
could be more beneficial in comparison to other
conventional approaches.
