ABSTRACT
This paper presents an eco-friendly method to synthesize TiO2 Nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) using Lansium domesticum Correa fruit peel extract as a capping agent. A UV-Vis signal at 239 nm confirmed the extract’s role in synthesizing TiO2 NPs, with XRD revealing a crystalline anatase TiO2 phase. Rietveld refinement is used to analyze the precise structural characteristics of TiO2 NPs and the acceptable model. FESEM showed spherical particles of 17.6 nm, and PSA indicated an average size of 43.3 nm. FTIR suggested that the peel extract's phytochemicals be used as reducing and capping agents. The BET of TiO2 NPs was 88.0470 m²/g, with a mean pore diameter of 15. 2281 nm and total pore volume of 0.2299 cm3/g, TiO2 NPs exhibited 97.74% photocatalytic degradation of MO dyes, indicating potential for application. The present findings offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective method and highlight Lansium domesticum Correa peel waste as a potential reducing and capping agent for synthesizing TiO2 NPs for wastewater treatment applications. This research significantly contributes to advances in sustainable materials science and environmental engineering.
