Green and sustainable synthesis of mesoporous silica from agricultural biowaste and functionalized with TiO2 nanoparticles for highly photoactive performance
Rice husk (RH) is a bio-based material and can be a valuable source of bioenergy. Burning RH to produce thermal energy results in the generation of RH ash (RHA). RHA contains abundant silica. This study prepared mesostructured RH–SBA-15 by using RHA as a silicon source. A nanosized TiO2 photocatalys...
