Title A name given to the resource Photocatalytic and eco-emission applications of green synthesized ZnO-CB nanoparticles Subject The topic of the resource Calyxes of brinjal; Dye degradation; Green emissions; Millettia pinnata oil methyl ester; Photocatalysis; ZnO-CB Description An account of the resource Herein, we report the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-CB NPs) by employing the solution combustion method using an aqueous extract of brinjal calyxes as fuel. Characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UVvisible spectroscopy, and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were used to investigate the structural, optical, and morphological properties of synthesized nanoparticles, respectively. Highly porous hexagonal crystalline ZnO-CB NPs with less than 7 nm particle size were obtained. The photocatalytic performance of synthesized material is measured with Malachite green (MG), Basic brown 1 (BB1), and Acid orange 36 (AO36) as benchmark dyes. It showed that the synthesized material worked effectively under pH 10 with UV light irradiation. The synthesized ZnO-CB NP shows good removal effectiveness of the MG, BB1, and AO36 dyes with 99.3 %, 99.6 %, and 99.5 %, respectively, which can be promising photocatalysts for ecological applications such as wastewater remediation. Further, the synthesized ZnO-CB NP was used as blends in the methyl ester of Millettia pinnata oil (MPME), which is blended 20 % with commercial diesel (MPME20). The synthesized ZnO-CB NP was added to the MPME20 in varying amounts to ascertain its effects on the quality of emissions of various greenhouse gases such as hydrocarbons, COx, and NOx. Moreover, brake thermal efficiency (BTHE) and brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) were studied for the blends. The blend MPME20 with 25 mg of ZnO-CB NP, i.e., MPME20-25 mg, ZnO-CB, displays the best performance and reduced emissions. 2024 The Author(s) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Shubha J.P.; Roopashree B.; Sushma N.V.; Kiran K.; Ravikumar R.; Kuniyil M.; Rafi Shaik M.; Khan M.; Farooq Adil S.
