Almond Peel-Derived Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Photocatalytic Performance Data

Sujesh Sudarsan published this dataset on figshare in April 2026. It contains experimental results for zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using almond peel extract. The data likely includes measurements of material properties and photocatalytic degradation efficiency for Congo red dye under sunlight.

Use Cases

• Modeling photocatalytic degradation kinetics based on reported pseudo-first-order behavior.
• Correlating nanoparticle properties like surface area and crystallite size with performance based on the described characterization.
• Benchmarking green synthesis methods for nanomaterials based on the almond peel extract process.
• Analyzing the role of reactive oxygen species in dye degradation based on scavenger study results.

Strengths

• Dataset provides specific material property numbers, including a surface area of 31.89 m²/g and a crystallite size of 39.24 nm.
• Includes performance metrics such as degradation percentages ranging from 51.61% to 82.21% and reusability data showing over 83.64% activity retention.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 35.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
