Abstract:In this study, an economical ZnFe2O4@BC composite was successfully synthesized using pomelo peel biochar through a simple one‐pot thermal‐calcination roasting method. The combination of biochar and ZnFe2O4 was confirmed by FTIR, XRD, Raman, TEM, and XPS analysis, confirming that the successful insertion of carbon into the oxygen sites of the ZnFe2O4 lattice, forming C−O bonds. The incorporation of biochar resulted in a high specific surface area, providing more active sites for catalytic reactions, enhancing e… Show more
