摘要

Bio-derived NiO-Carbon nanocomposites were prepared using Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract through a green combustion approach. Structural analysis confirmed the formation of face-centered cubic NiO with crystallite sizes in the 25–50 nm range. The optimized 1:1 NiO: C composite demonstrated a limit of detection calculated via the 3σ/slope method in the millimolar range, along with a linear sensing response between 1 and 6 mM for glyphosate. In addition, the material achieved 98.78% degradation of Congo Red (CR dye) under UV irradiation (365 nm, 15 mW/cm²) while maintaining strong reusability and stability. The improved performance is attributed to the presence of conductive carbon, which facilitates charge transport, reduces electron–hole recombination, and increases the availability of active surface sites. Electrochemical impedance analysis further confirmed reduced charge-transfer resistance in the optimized composite, supporting its enhanced interfacial kinetics. The scalable and cost-effective synthesis, combined with stability in acidic media, highlights the potential of this composite as a multifunctional platform for pesticide monitoring and wastewater remediation.
