Abstract In this study, the synthesis of porous activated carbon nanostructures from peanut (Arachis hypogea) shell waste (PSW) was described using different porosity enhancing agents (PEA) at various mass concentrations via a two-step process. The textural properties obtained were depicted with relatively high specific surface area values 1457 m 2 g −1 , 1625 and 2547 for KHCO 3, K CO 3 KOH respectively concentration 1 to 4 which complemented by presence blend micropores, mesopores...
Nickel cobaltite hydroxide NiCo 2 O 4 /NiOOH (NiCoO) with biomass carbon (BC) are successfully synthesized using the bark of Anacardium occidentale extract as a source via an energy-saving hydrothermal process. The from greatly enhances electrochemical performances NiCoO.
Melanins are difficult to characterize because of their intractable chemical properties and the heterogeneity in structural features. Melanin pigments, fact, composed many different types monomeric units that connected through strong carbon-carbon bonds. Its high insolubility undefined entities two obstacles its complete characterization. The morphological characterization particle size distribution for sepia melanin by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) on surface structure Transmission...
Efficient plant biomass utilization is a key component in advancing sustainable and circular bioeconomy. ZnO nanoparticle synthesis using extracts actively studied as part of this effort. Here, green nanoparticles were prepared Licania tomentosa Benth (also known Oiti) leaf extract. Characterization the produced (NPs) involved X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) UV–Visible (UV-Vis) techniques....
