Abstract
A composite material includes pineapple peel carbon and oxygen-deficient black zinc oxide (b-ZnOvac) nanoparticles. The composite material includes 2 to 20 weight percent (wt. %) pineapple peel carbon based on a total weight of the composite material. The pineapple peel carbon and the oxygen-deficient black ZnO nanoparticles are bonded through carbon-zinc interfaces and carbon-oxygen-zinc interfaces. The pineapple peel carbon has a sheet morphology. The oxygen-deficient black zinc oxide nanoparticles are coated with the pineapple peel carbon. The composite material has an X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak at a 2θ value of 36.27° to 36.34°.
