COST-EFFECTIVE WELL-SUITED GREEN AZADIRACHTA INDICA REDUCED AG-TIO2: A POTENT SPHERICAL NANO SCAFFOLDS

The profitability of nanoparticles has been steadily increasing owing to their diverse use in catalysis, electronics, energy, & medicine. However, the conventional methods of preparing metallic nanoparticles often involve the use of harmful and combustible as reducing agents, chemicals. To address this concern and promote environmentally friendly production, a recent study presents an economically viable and environmentally conscious method for producing Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles is achieved through the sustainable synthesis process employing an extract from the Azadirachta Indica plant. In this research work, Azadirachta Indica plant extract was utilized both as a reducing agent and a capping agent to facilitate the production of nanoparticles Ag-Tio2. High-purity isopropyl titanium and the synthesis of Silver-doped TiO2 nanoparticles was accomplished using an extract derived from the Azadirachta Indica plant. Within the span of an hour following the reaction's initiation, a noticeable change in the reaction mixture's color occurred, transitioning from a light brown hue to a green shade, signifying the rapid formation of Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles. To verify the effective creation of Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles, the scientists utilized a range of methodologies. Characterization procedures encompassed FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), UV-Vis (Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy), and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy).FTIR analysis confirmed the creation of both Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles and the TiO2 phase was evident. UV-Vis spectroscopy provided further evidence of the successful synthesis of nanoparticles. XRD and SEM studies revealed that the nanoparticles exhibited a spherical morphology, with the size falling within the range suggested by electron microscopy data.Moreover, EDX analysis validated the presence of Ag ions successfully integrated into the Tio2 lattice, further supporting the successful formation of Ag-Tio2 nanoparticles. Overall, This research introduces a hopeful approach for environmentally friendly synthesis of Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles through the utilization of Azadirachta Indica plant extract, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional, toxic chemical-based approaches.
