Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanostructures with palm trunk mince were deposited via hydrothermal technique. The crystalline structure of TiO 2 has two phases anatase and rutile, which analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). TiO 2 NPs morphology were examined by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that product has hexagonal nanobelts, nanorods, and nanowires. Photocatalyst activates of TiO 2 were studied on degradation of methylene blue dye (MB) under UV irradiation, MB absorption decrease with increasing the irradiation time, which optimum degradation showed with nanowires shape comparable with nanorod and nanobelts shapes. The antibacterial study clearly indicates that the palm trunk extract mediated of TiO 2 NP S exhibit the excellent antimicrobial activity.
