Multi-application of fennel (Foeniculum vulgaris) seed composites for the adsorption and photo-degradation of methylene blue in water

This work reports on synthesis of fennel-based composites and their feasibility to remove and photo-degrade methylene blue dye from aqueous solution. Pristine fennel seeds (PFS) was impregnated with iron(III) oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 NP) and iron(III)-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (Fe-TCA) to yield...
