Green Synthesis of Titanium Dioxide and its Application on Anti-Fungal Activity

Abstract

In recent years, nanotechnology was an emerging field which has wide range of application in various science fields. Nanoparticles has significant approaches in medicinal field. The nanoparticles can be synthesized from various sources depending upon the applications. In this current study, the green synthesis of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles from Calotropis gigantae and its antifungal activity was studied. The precursor for titanium nanoparticles is titanium tetraisopropoxide. Usually the plant material assisted in reduction process. The green synthesis approach was eco-friendly, cost effective, non-toxic and renewable resources. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and EDAX. Scanning Electron Microscope analysis gives the details of TiO2 nanoparticles spherical shape and other structural properties. X-Ray Diffraction analysis gives the crystalline nature of Titanium dioxide Nanoparticles. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy results indicates the presence of various bioactive compounds. Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis brings about the elemental composition of titanium nanoparticles. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles shows the antifungal activity against particular microorganism.
