Synthesis of Biogenic Hematite Nanocubes as Recyclable Dark Fenton-like Catalysts at Neutral pH and Plant Growth Applications of Degraded Waste Water.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study is to fabricate bioinspired metal oxide nanocubes from lemon peel extract in an environmentally friendly manner and evaluate its impact on environmental remediation. In neutral pH, the degradation kinetics of methylene blue dye (MB) in the aqueous phase was investigated using iron oxide nanoparticles as a catalyst. The obtained results revealed that under optimum conditions, synthesized Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles (IONPs) offered ultrafast dark Fenton-like reaction to degrade MB. The size, morphological structures, and stability were confirmed through dynamic light scattering, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and ζ potential analysis. The overall environmental impact of the process was assessed by growing wheat plants with
