Abstract

Initial production of the titanium dioxide nanoparticles TiO2 used the hydrothermal process. The onion peels and chitosan peel extracts, which are made using the Bio-synthesize approach. By using (UV-Vis) properties, the structural characteristics of TiO2 and TiO2 with extract from onion peels and chitosan peels were studied, and find the absorption edge of TiO2 NPs, TiO2 + onion peels and TiO2 + chitosan peels is around 236 nm, 244 nm and 237.5 nm respectively. The pattern of TiO2 for a number of peaks suggested a tetragonal rutile phase, according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) research. Energy dispersive X-ray, (EDX) was done for TiO2 NPs, TiO2 + onion peels and TiO2 + chitosan peels. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) shows that the diameters ranging of TiO2 NPs, TiO2 + onion peels and TiO2 + chitosan peels from (43.32 nm to 47.77 nm), (34.11 nm to 62.77 nm) and (32.22 nm to 35.11 nm) respectively. Studying was done on the effect of TiO2 & TiO2 with extracts nanoparticles on bacterial growth, a variation was observed in the effect of the TiO2 & TiO2 with extracts on the growth of bacteria.
