Abstract:
One of the most important problems in the world today is the fluoride pollution of the
surrounding waters due to activities and anthropogenic activities. Due to their high catalytic
activity and large surface area, ferrite nanoparticles have gained interest in wastewater
treatment. Synthesis of NiO/Potato Peels Nanocomposites using a hydrothermal process to
remove fluoride from drinking water is exported in the present study. Various tests such as
X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transmission
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are used to identify the structure and morphology of the
composite. The XRD results identified a single-phase structure with lattice parameters
ranging from 8.38Å to 8.33Å. Agglomerated and heterogeneous-sized nanoparticles are
seen in SEM micrographs. FTIR depicts the ranges of NiO within the repetitiveness range
of 400–4000 cm-1. These incorporation bands, situated at 665 cm-1 and 543 cm-1, pertain to
the extended shaking modes of the tetrahedral ore-oxygen bond and the octahedral ore-
oxygen bond, individually.
