Biosynthesis of TiO/CuO and Its Application for the Photocatalytic Removal of the Methylene Blue Dye.

In this study, we successfully synthesized a TiO/CuO nanocomposite using the aqueous extract of . leaf extract as a capping, reducing, and stabilizing agent for the first time in an environmentally friendly, low-cost, straightforward, and sustainable technique. Numerous characterization techniques such as ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis-DRS), photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and high resolution TEM (HRTEM) were used to characterize the obtained TiO/CuO nanocomposite.

Green Synthesis of TiO Using Hook.. Leaf Extract for Efficient Removal of Methylene Blue Dye.

In this work, TiO nanoparticles (NPs) were effectively synthesized by a green method using the Hook. leaf (IL) extract as a capping and reducing agent. The as-synthesized TiO NPs were characterized by different characterization methods such as the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy.
