Comparative analysis of green synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles using four different leaf extract

Rapid green-synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles for therapeutic applications

“…Jalawkhan et al 23 also produced anatase-phase TiO 2 NPs after the one-hour heat treatment at 400 °C. Pushpamalini et al 24 also synthesized anatase-phase TiO 2 NPs and their XRD pattern is quite similar to what we have obtained. With this, we conclude that all the three varieties of TiO 2 NPs synthesized using different plant extracts are exactly similar in their crystallinity and phase.…”

“…Moreover, since the nanoparticles were calcined at 400 C (which is considered to be lower in comparison to high calcination temperatures like 1100 C to 1500 C) and lower temperature favours anatase phase, this totally justies our observation. Jalawkhan et al 23 also produced anatasephase TiO 2 NPs aer the one-hour heat treatment at 400 C. Pushpamalini et al 24 also synthesized anatase-phase TiO 2 NPs and their XRD pattern is quite similar to what we have obtained. With this, we conclude that all the three varieties of TiO 2 NPs synthesized using different plant extracts are exactly similar in their crystallinity and phase.…”

“…However, no further explanation regarding this behaviour was provided. 24 Jain et al 32 synthesised silver NPs (AgNPs) using tulsi leaf extract and quercetin as the separate reducing agents. Quercetin is the primary biomolecule present in tulsi and thus the findings revealed that almost similar observations were made in the NPs synthesised using tulsi extract and quercetin separately.…”

Applications of Non‐precious Transition Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in Electrochemistry

“…conducted the green synthesis of the TiO 2 NPs with four distinct leaf extracts namely Ocimum tenuiflorum , Piper betel , Coriandrum sativum and Moringa oleifera as the reducing agents for synthesizing TiO 2 from titanium tetra‐isopropoxide. The differences in photocatalytic efficiency of the synthesized TiO 2 NPs have been examined via degradation of the Malachite green dye; Amongst the four nanomaterials, TiO 2 synthesized with the Moringa oleifera leaf extract showed the increased efficiency in comparison to the other three leaf extracts [85].…”

Effect of Europium, Yttrium and Lutetium Doping on the Photocatalytic Property of CeO2 Nanoparticles in the Reduction of p‐nitrophenol under Visible Light

“…However, many different procedures have been tried for the remediation of phenols like adsorption, solvent extraction, chlorination and membrane separation, these approaches have certain characteristic downsides as they produce secondary pollution because of the phase transfer of the pollutants. In environmental sanitation, the photocatalytic route is found to be more ecological, which helps to reduce the undesirable generation of by‐products under mild experimental conditions [48–50] . NaBH 4 can be used as a reducing/initiating agent in the reduction reaction in aqueous medium, which is simple, greener and low cost.…”
