Bionanotechnology is the synthesis of environmentally friendly, biosynthetic nanomaterials by combining nanotechnology and biotechnology. Chrysanthemum indicum leaf extract in aqueous medium was used in the presented research work to produce titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles using a dependable and environmentally friendly method. The TiO nanoparticles derived from C. indicum were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The diesel degradation activity of the TiO was evaluated, showing a significant reduction in diesel concentration (8%) after a 10-day incubation period. Furthermore, TiO's hemolytic, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties were highlighted. Cubical-shaped nanoparticles with an even distribution were found by SEM analysis. When compared to standard drugs, the biosynthesized TiO nanoparticles demonstrated hemolytic potential, anti-inflammatory (albumin denaturation assay), antidiabetic, and antioxidant (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay) properties. These results imply that TiO nanoparticles function as advantageous biological agents and are crucial to the bioremediation process. Due to the great potential of TiO nanoparticles, the notable characteristics of biosynthesized TiO nanoparticles suggest their potential useful applications in the biodegradation field in the future.

Overcoming the challenges of integrating disparate components in nanoarchitectures, this study introduces a straightforward strategy based on a mixed-valence coordination approach, creating an ordered ternary heterostructure integrated with ultrasmall homojunction. This singular ordered homojunction-heterostructure unites ultrathin 1D rutile TiO nanowires (NWs) and ultrathin anatase TiO NWs with 0D Prussian Blue Analogs (PBAs) nanoparticles (NPs), all exhibiting crystallographic oriented alignment with each other, forming a ternary mesocrystals. Experimental and theoretical insights disclose that the complex interplay between these dissimilar components is governed by a spontaneous lattice match effect, which not only optimizes but also directs the charge transfer, thereby enhancing both efficiency and stability.

This research highlights the different behaviors of titanium (Ti) wires under the action of 500 W and 800 W microwave power levels. Following the interaction between microwaves and a titanium wire placed in the node of the (TM-transverse magnetic mode) waveguide in air at atmospheric pressure, plasma was generated. Using optical emission spectroscopy technique it was observed that during plasma generation at 500 W and 800 W microwaves powers, metallic ions, and gas ions were created, and the plasmas fulfilled the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) conditions.

Flexible polymer-based piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) have gained significant interest due to their ability to deliver clean and sustainable energy for self-powered electronics and wearable devices. Recently, the incorporation of fillers into the ferroelectric polymer matrix has been used to improve the relatively low piezoelectric properties of polymer-based PENGs. In this study, we investigated the effect of various nanofillers such as titania (TiO), zinc oxide (ZnO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) on the PENG performance of the nanocomposite thin films containing the nanofillers in poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoro ethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) matrix.

Using sunlight as the driving force for photocatalytic processes holds great promise for sustainability. As a starting point for developing a material capable of degrading aquatic pollutants using solar energy as a stimulus, this work focuses on synthesizing Au-TiO nanocomposites using the deposition-precipitation method. Characterization of Au-TiO nanoparticles was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
