Investigation of Hydrogen Gas Production and Catalytic Effect of Green-Synthesized ZnO on NaBH4 Hydrolysis
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the catalytic effects of ZnO, prepared using ethanolic turmeric extract, on the hydrolysis reaction of NaBH4. The generated ZnO particles were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) analysis and zeta potential measurements were conducted for the ZnO nanoparticles. The results demonstrated that the green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibited effective catalytic behavior in the hydrolysis of NaBH4.
