Synthesis, Characterization, and Photocatalytic Application of ZnO@Gelatin Nanocomposite Derived from Chicken Feet for Methylene Blue Degradation
الكلمات المفتاحية:
Gelatin، Chicken feet، Photodegradation، ZnO@Gelatin nanocompositeالملخص
This study explores the synthesis and photocatalytic performance of a ZnO@Gelatin nanocomposite made from chicken foot gelatin, a sustainable by-product. The nanocomposite was characterized for its physicochemical properties and analyzed using FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. It achieved 85% methylene blue (MB) degradation under UV light in 90 min, surpassing ZnO nanoparticles (75%). Gelatin’s functional groups improved dye adsorption and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, with confirmed stability and reusability. This work offers an eco-friendly approach to using chicken foot waste for effective wastewater treatment.
