Pulicaria undulata Extract-Mediated Eco-Friendly Preparation of TiO₂ Nanoparticles for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue and Methyl Orange.

ABSTRACT: Eco-friendly approaches for the preparation of nanomaterials have recently attracted considerable attention of scientific community due to rising environmental distresses. The aim of the current study is to prepare titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs) using an eco-friendly approach and investigate their performance for the photocatalytic degradation of hazardous organic dyes. For this, TiO₂ NPs were prepared by using the aqueous extract of the Pulicaria undulata (L.) plant in a single step at room temperature. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy established the presence of both titanium and oxygen in the sample. X-ray diffraction revealed the formation of crystalline, anatase-phase TiO₂ NPs. On the other hand, transmission election microscopy
