The current study involves the phytochemical analysis of green-synthesized S. platensis-mediated TiO₂ nanoparticles (TiO₂NPs) using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The aim of this research is to characterize the nanoparticles, focusing on the FT-IR spectrum. Aqueous extracts of S. platensis, a solution of Titanium dioxide (0.01 mM), and S. platensis-mediated TiO₂NPs were used in the study. The results confirmed the formation of nanoparticles through the analysis of the FT-IR spectrum. The FT-IR spectrum for S. platensis was recorded in the range of 3338 to 528 cm-¹, highlighting the functional groups and their respective peak values. Similarly, the FT-IR spectrum for TiO₂ alone was recorded in the range from 3339 to 528 cm-¹, providing insights into the functional groups present and their corresponding peak values. Finally, the FT-IR spectrum for S. platensis-mediated TiO₂NPs was recorded in the range of 3339 to 539 cm-¹, offering information on the functional groups and their identified peak values in the synthesized nanoparticles. This comprehensive FT-IR analysis contributes to the understanding of the chemical composition and structure of S. platensis-mediated TiO₂NPs, providing valuable insights for further applications and research in nanotechnology.
