Green Synthesis of TiO₂ Using Impatiens rothii Hook.f. Leaf Extract for Efficient Removal of Methylene Blue Dye.

ABSTRACT: In this work, TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) were effectively synthesized by a green method using the Impatiens rothii Hook.f. leaf (IL) extract as a capping and reducing agent. The as-synthesized TiO₂ 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. The specific surface area from BET analysis was found to be 65 m²/g. The average crystallite size from XRD analysis and averag
