Abstract

TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by biosynthesis method specifically green synthesis method using Averrhoa bilimbi L. (bilimbi) leaf extract as both a reducing and capping agent. The purpose of this study was to characterize the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles and its antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. Characterization was carried out using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD). The synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited an anatase phase, with an average crystallite size of 12.9 nm and a crystallinity of 97.81%. Antibacterial activity tests against Escherichia coli across various samples Ti-BW20 and Ti-BW40, yielded inhibition zone diameters of 7.82 mm and 9.87 mm, respectively.

Abstract

Sugarcane bagasse is an abundant agricultural waste in Indonesia, reaching more than 750,000 tons annually, yet it remains underutilized. It contains a high cellulose content of up to 52.7%, one of the highest among agricultural residues. Considering its high fiber content and wide availability, sugarcane bagasse has significant potential to be recycled into high-value materials, including nanocellulose, a nanoscale biopolymer with high surface area, mechanical strength, and crystallinity. This study explores the utilization of cellulose derived from sugarcane bagasse, which was subsequently composited with titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles to form nanocomposites. Cellulose isolation was carried out using a combined chemical and mechanical method involving alkali treatment, bleaching, and acid hydrolysis, followed by ultrasonication. The nanocomposite synthesis was performed through a wet dispersion method using a water–ethanol mixture. XRD analysis confirmed the successful isolation of nanocellulose, as indicated by an increase in crystallinity index from 51.37% to 70.55% after isolation, with crystal sizes in the nanometer range, that is 4.31 nm for nanocellulose and 35.41 nm for the nanocomposite. FTIR characterization corroborates the success of isolation, showing a decrease in the intensity of functional groups associated with amorphous components such as C=O and aromatic C=C, from 0.0181 to 0.0131 and from 0.0314 to 0.0140, respectively.
