Abstract:This study aimed to solve environmental problems, particularly water quality and escalating crime rates. The carbon hollow nanosphere was prepared from orange peels by a reflux method. The carbon hollow nanosphere was coated with Gamma-aluminium oxide (γ-Al2O3 NPs) via the hydrothermal method. The samples were analysed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, Thermogravimetric analysis, and X-Ray diffraction analysis.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
