Abstract

This study explores the potential of orange peel extract as a stabilizing agent in the synthesis of ferroelectric BaTiO₃. Characterization using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed the presence of strong acidic functional groups (O-H stretching at 3300 cm^-1 and C–H sp³ chain at 2800 – 2993 cm^-1 and carbonyl groups of double C–O at 1650 cm^-1 in orange peel extract. These findings indicate that orange peel contains organic compounds that can be utilized in various applications.
