Abstract

Herein synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles is reported via green synthesis route by using Malus Domestics (Apple) for degradation of methylene blue that belongs to the family of cationic dyes. Malus Domestica extract was selected as stabilizing and bio-reducing agent due to the presence of phytochemicals like quercetin and chlorogenic acid. Surface topography studied through SEM exhibits dense, spherical, and scattered particles of TiO2. XRD patterns confirmed the formation of anatase phase with 13 nm crystalline size. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the Ti-O-Ti bond formation. Optical visible range was evaluated to be 390 nm using UV-vis Spectroscopy. TiO2 synthesized through green route degraded 98% of MB in irradiation time of 120 mins.
