Özet
The emergence of industrial wastes brings with it a series of global environment issues. However, using these wastes including valuable metals as a source of value-added materials will lead to many advantages. The metals can be recovered and transformed for nanomaterial production which offers utility in many applications such as energy conversion and hydrogen evaluation. In this study, recycling techniques were used to synthesize zinc oxide nanofibers from waste brass flue dust. Initially, characterization and experimental analyses were used to confirm the synthesized nanofibers phase purity, morphology, and optical properties. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the nanofibers produced after recycling process were predominantly ZnO and have high purity. It was determined from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis that the produced samples were in fiber form in nanoscale and high crystallinity. According to the ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) analysis, the optical band of ZnO nanofibers was found as 3.19 eV. It has been demonstrated with this study that the ZnO nanofibers derived from industrial waste can be used in several energy applications. Also, it was revealed that metal-containing wastes can be disposed of by producing value-added nanomaterials directly from industrial wastes with economical value.
