The morphology of vitaminB2@P25TiO2NPs is coherent with the description of Degussa P25 typical population. Size distribution histograms were made from manual measures of the nanoparticles observed in SEM micrographs using ImageJ®. This data showed that more than 70% is anatase (between 20 and 60 nm) with a minor amount of rutile characteristic bars (between 80 and 100 nm) and a small amount of amorphous phase (<40 nm) [36]. Further analysis of the same sample areas with an EDS probe demonstrated the presence of organic material composed of C and O (Fig. 2). This material was found homogeneously distributed on the surface of the different shapes of P25TiO2NP, not in the background, indicating a specific interaction that could be attributed to the functionalization of the P25TiO2NPs with vitamin B2.

In recent years, the manufacturing industry has come under scrutiny for its environmental impact. The production process of titanium dioxide is no exception. Traditional methods often involve energy-intensive procedures and the use of chemicals that can pose risks to both human health and the environment. As awareness grows about these issues, manufacturers are compelled to reevaluate their processes and adopt more eco-friendly techniques.

The refractive index, represented by the letter n, of a material describes how light propagates through and is bent by, that material. The magnitude of the refractive index, depending upon the electronic structure of the molecules, governs to what extent the path of light changes, when entering or leaving a material.

Particles in a matrix, like pigment particles surrounded by the binder system in a coating, ink or plastic, can change the propagation direction of light when the particles and the matrix have a different refractive index. This phenomenon, called scattering, results in both white color (provided that the particles do not absorb visible light) and the hiding power of the coating.
