Abstract
Zinc aluminate nanomaterial provide a potential candidate for photocatalytic and sensor applications. Using biofuel (banana peel powder), zinc aluminate was synthesized by SCM (solution combustion method) in the current study. The properties of the phase structures, chemical composition, morphologies, and photocatalytic sensors were characterized by utilizing powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, CH analyzer, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and photocatalytic reactor. Indigo Carmine (IC) dye degradation under UV light was used to assess the photocatalytic activity. The results showed that zinc aluminate makes a superior photocatalyst for degrading organic dyes like indigo carmine. In a potassium hydroxide electrolyte medium, zinc aluminate was also an effective substance for paracetamol and lead metal sensing. The results confirm that the novel material could be used for various industrial applications.
