Green Synthesis of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Using Stevia Leaves Extracts.
Authors
Abstract
In this study, the biogenic synthesis of economically viable Ti0 2 nanoparticles using stevia leaf broth was
assessed for its in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. In this study, we have created a
simple and environmentally safe process that uses stevia leaf extract to create titanium dioxide nanoparticles
from titanium dioxide solution. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV absorption spectroscopy,
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the produced
nanoparticles. The XRD pattern's strong peaks demonstrate the titanium dioxide nanoparticles' purity and
crystallinity. The nanoparticles, which range in size from 48 to 94 nm, are spherical, according to scanning
electron microscopy.
