THERMODYNAMIC AND KINETIC INVESTIGATION OF HYDROGEN STORAGE IN METAL HYDRIDES

Abstract

This study explores the green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) using plant extracts as reducing and capping agents. The research focuses on the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles through environmentally sustainable methods, followed by detailed characterization of their photochemical and photocatalytic properties. The results demonstrate that the biosynthesized nanoparticles exhibit remarkable stability, crystalline structure, and significant activity in photochemical degradation of organic pollutants under UV and visible light irradiation. This study underscores the potential of eco-friendly synthesis routes in producing functional nanomaterials for environmental and energy applications.
