The pure TiO 2 nanoparticles have been synthesized by a simplistic eco-friendly green method using extract of cinnamon powder for the first time. The cinnamic acid present in the cinnamon works as the capping agent during the reaction. TiO 2 nanoparticles were characterized by using X-ray diffractio...
