Removal of Cd2+ by N-CNS/ZnO nanocomposite from wastewater and reuse of Cd2+-N-CNS/ZnO in blood fingerprint detection

In this study, an N-CNS/ZnO nanocomposite was used to adsorb the Cd2+ ion from an aqueous solution, and the spent Cd-loaded absorbent was reused in blood fingerprint detection. N-carbon nanosheets (N-CNS) were produced from potato peels and then coated with ZnO nanoparticles. XRD, TEM, SEM, and FTIR...
