摘要

Imagine a future where energy demands are met without causing any harm to the planet. Unfortunately, the world still relies heavily on fossil fuels, which accelerate global warming by producing dangerous greenhouse gases. However, there is hope! Biofuels provide a sustainable alternative, and our research reveals a novel and groundbreaking solution. Using a novel Fe-ZnOnanocatalyst, we have effectively synthesized bioethanol from wasted Camellia sinensis leaves. This revolutionary process lessens dependency on fossil fuels by transforming garbage into useful energy. GC-MS, NMR, CHNS analyzer, FTIR, bomb calorimeter, cloud, and pour point were used to characterize the bioethanol that was obtained. The produced Fe-ZnOnanocatalyst’s characteristics were investigated using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, Zeta potential, and UV analysis techniques. FESEM studies have shown the particle size of the nanocatalyst within the range of 30–50 nm. This comprehensive research analysis, including GC-MS, NMR, and FESEM, confirms the nanocatalyst’s exceptional performance, yielding 75% bioethanol. With this technology, we can open a cleaner and greener future.
