The present work is the first to report on the synthesis of TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs using eucalyptus globulus leaf extract - a gentle, renewable, and non-toxic agent - in conjunction with titanium butoxide as a precursor in a mild thermal treatment. The results comprise four distinct biosynthesised material samples, each obtained by applying different techniques, including single and double-thermal treatments of NPs.

The successfully synthesised TiO<sub>2</sub> samples were characterised with diffuse reflectance UV–visible spectroscopy (DRS), FT-IR, Raman, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX).

The characteristic parameters of the NPs including particle size, band gap energy, crystallinity, and lattice constants, were calculated and compared to those of commercial TiO<sub>2</sub>. The double thermally treated sample exhibits a closer resemblance to commercial TiO<sub>2</sub> compared to both the singal thermally treated sample and the untreated counterpart.

From air blowing to centrifugal spinning or enzymatic treatments, several different techniques have been introduced to produce nanofibers.

Various raw materials from natural or synthetic sources are used in electrospinning as a polymer or an additive. Of these raw materials, biomass or organic waste-derived materials have become an area of interest due to their availability, cost-performance level, unique functionalities, and rising demand for sustainable, eco-derived, and friendly materials. Either plant-based or animal-based, a great number of materials can be used in electrospinning such as starch, lignocellulose, alginate, keratin, chitosan, etc. Each material has its typical electrospinning conditions some of which bring considerable challenges for successful nanofiber production. To overcome these challenges and find the optimum material type and process conditions, we introduced a novel Picture Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MCDM)-based sorting tool, namely PiF-ARASsort-lp, to classify material alternatives into three categories based on different attributes. The recommended model not only provides cost efficiency but also offers an opportunity to evaluate different materials for many aspects in a quick manner based on expert opinions. To facilitate the opinion-gathering process, a new data collection scheme is applied. With the help of an entropy-based objective attribute weighting procedure under a picture fuzzy environment, 15 waste materials were classified into three groups: higher appropriateness for sustainable electrospinning, moderate appropriateness, and lower appropriateness.
