Bimetal (Ni, Fe) Nanoalloy Implanted into Cypress Leaves Derived Biochar for Cu2+ Heavy Metal Detection

The core issue of ongoing research is the detection of pollutants in wastewater. However, the key issue is fabricating effective electrocatalyst material for detecting such high contaminants. While considering all the above concerns, constructing efficient electrocatalytic material from waste biomass will be advantageous. The cypress tree is one of the most abundant trees in Taiwan and some parts of the world. Still, the utilization of waste biomass is another severe issue. So, the fabrication of catalysts from cypress leaf biomass would be a beneficial pathway. Due to the insufficient active sites, active surface area, and charge transfer efficiency it’s not enough to produce hydrogen. Therefore, increasing the above-mentioned parameters through transition metal doping would be an effective and promising approach. In transition metals, Ni and Fe facilitate rich surface functional groups, strong adsorption as well as desorption capacity, and large active surface area. We have synthesized bimetal (Ni, Fe) implanted into cypress biomass-derived N-doped carbon biochar for efficient pollution detection.
