        abstract = {The synthetic techniques for metal oxide nanoparticles often involve toxic solvents, high pressure, high energy, and high temperatures. While these methods can be effective, they are not environmentally friendly. In contrast, plant-based synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles offers several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and compatibility with medical applications. In this study, we utilized Piper betel leaf extract to synthesize titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. TiO2 possesses several desirable properties, such as a high refractive index, good light absorption, non-toxicity, chemical stability, and relatively low production costs. The characteristics of the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles were thoroughly studied using XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with detailed results presented throughout the study. We also analyzed the antibacterial effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on E. coli strains using a well diffusion assay to confirm the inhibition zone of the bacteria. This research highlights the potential of green synthesis methods in producing effective antibacterial agents.},
