“…Fly ash was obtained from an electric power plant in Jeddah. The original fly ash contains impurity elements of Na, Al, V, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, S, Si, etc. , Except for S and Si, metal elements exist in oxidized materials or salts which can be easily removed by water and acid etching. First of all, impurities in large particles were removed by sieving with a 50 mesh sieve.…”

Graphite has become a critical material because of its essential role in the lithium-ion battery (LIB) industry. However, the synthesis of graphite requires an energy-intensive thermal treatment. Also, when used in sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries (SIBs and PIBs), the graphite anode shows poor capacities and cycling stability, which hinders the development of next-generation battery technologies. Finding suitable anode materials for commercial alkali metal-ion batteries is not only urgent for the energy storage industry, but is also important for economic and sustainable development. In this work, we use fly ash carbon (FAC), a residue of crude oil combustion, as an anode material for alkali metal-ion batteries. The FAC anodes show relatively high capacities and excellent cycling stability. The charge storage mechanism of FAC anode is shown to be intercalation coupled with redox reactions of oxygen functional groups. This work shows that FAC is a promising scalable anode material for alkali metal-ion batteries.

“…SiO 2 NPs also mitigated salt stress in Glycine max L. by enhancing the production of enzymatic and non-enzymatic substances (Farhangi-Abriz and Torabian 2018). Oil fly ash waste is found to be a potential source of carbon nanostructures for the synthesis of carbon nanostructures (Salah et al 2016;Al Malack et al 2013;Li et al 2021;Wu et al 2022). Numerous studies have tried to obtain nanostructured carbon through using high-energy ball milling technology as an ecofriendly method of producing carbon nanostructures (Salah et al 2021;Alluqmani et al 2021a, b;Alluqmani et al 2021a, b).…”

Salinity is an abiotic factor that severely limits agricultural yield around the world. Tomatoes are important crops among others due to their high nutritional value; however, when the crop is exposed to abiotic stresses such as salinity, tomato production could be negatively affected. The goal of this study was to measure the morphological and physiological responses of tomato seedlings grown under salt stress when carbon nanoparticle of oil fly ash (COFA) under heat treatment in the concentration (5 mg L−1) was applied to the leaves. In this study, three carbon nanoparticles (COFA, COFAH-J, COFAH-R) were applied to tomato seedlings under three different salt (NaCl) treatments: 0 mM, 20 mM, and 40 mM. For each treatment, three biological replicates were conducted, with each replicate containing at least three plants. Our findings demonstrated that salt-stressed tomato plants had considerably lower length of shoot and root, biomass, and photosynthetic pigments over control plants. Furthermore, salinity greatly enhanced the proline concentration, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities. However, the application of thermally treated carbon nanoparticles resulted in increases in the quantities of photosynthetic pigments and plant growth conditions. However, the tomato seedlings treated with COFA, COFAH-J, and COFAH-R increased SOD activity by 65%, 53%, and 45%; CAT activity by 67%, 63%, and 65%; and APX activity by 51%, 52%, and 41%, respectively, when seedlings were exposed to 40 mM. Overall, our data suggest that heated carbon nanoparticles of oil fly ash may improve tomato plants’ salt tolerance by enhancing their antioxidant defense systems. The beneficial impacts of thermally treated carbon nanoparticles in tomato plants offer up new avenues for their potential innovations in novel agricultural methods, particularly while plants are grown to saline conditions.

“…For developed nanomaterials, high-energy ball milling has proven to be an effective method for manufacturing nanocrystalline powders 12 . Recently, many studies have reported successful realization of carbon nanostructures engineered from oil fly ash waste by high-energy ball-milling techniques, with sizes ranging from 100 to 20 nm for agglomerated clusters; these provide highly graphitic compositions, large specific surface areas, porosity, nontoxicity, strength, and scattering responses, all of which are promising results 13 – 16 . Moreover, Numan et al successfully used a sonication method to reduce the sizes of oil fly ash particles to a few nanometres 13 .…”

Application of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) in agricultural production has piqued the interest of researchers. However, despite the enormous importance of CNMs in plant development, little is known about the effects of carbon nanoparticle (CNP) doses on plant physiological responses. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to check the effects of nanostructured carbon derived from oil fly ash (COFA), which was derived for the first time from high-energy ball-milling followed by a sonication process, on Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Cicer arietinum L. plants. We evaluated the plant physiological and biochemical parameters of the COFA-treated seedlings. Two different doses (4 mg L−1 and 8 mg L−1) of COFA and a control were studied. The results indicated that the germination rate (%), shoot length, root length, pod length, leaf area, fresh weight and dry weight were increased with the addition of COFA. Likewise, COFA increased the contents of chlorophyll pigments (Chla, Chlb, carotenoids), proteins, and carbohydrates in both species compared to the control. Finally, these findings showed that a COFA treatment at 4 mg L−1 after ball milled-sonication in water (BMW4) constituted the best dose for growth and physiology. Our findings reveal that the novel strategy of COFA engineering led to a boost in the growth of Phaseolus vulgaris and Cicer arietinum. Our results have high potential for agricultural research and provide an impact on food security.
