Introduction
• Aloe Vera is the oldest medicinal plant known,
containing a large range of vitamins.
• It is a powerful detoxifier, antiseptic and has anti
viral properties.
• TiO₂ is poorly soluble, non flammable and thermally
stable.
• 3 phases- Anatase, Rutile and Brookite.
• Anatase – Large band gap, hydrophobicity, non-
wettability.
3 Phases of Titanium Dioxide
Properties of TiO₂
• Low cost and high dielectric constant
• Strong oxidising agent
• High resistivity
• Large band gap
• High surface to volume ratio
The extraction
Synthesis of nanoparticles
• Dissolve 1 N of Titanium Chloride in 100 ml of
Millipore water.
• Add extract drop wise under constant stirring.
• Mixture continuously stirred for 4 hours.
• Nano particles are formed and separated using what
man filter paper.
• Nano particles are dried at 100° C overnight and
calcined at 500° C for 4 hours.
Characterization
• TGA/DTA Curves of TiO₂ Nanoparticles
X Ray Diffraction
PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZER
FTIR
SEM and TEM
CONCLUSION
• Successfully synthesized using green synthesis
method.
• Average crystallite size of the sample was 20nm.
• Average Particle size was 32nm.
• Tetragonal structure was observed.
• TiO₂ vibrational bonds were observed in the FTIR
spectrum.
• Weight loss was 0.98%
• The particles are in nano range
Applications of TiO₂ nanoparticles
• Chemical Sensors
• Water splitting for hydrogen production
• Microelectronics
• Dye sensitized solar cell
• Photocatalysis
• Charge spreading devices
• Self cleaning devices
• Disinfection of waste water
