Abstract

The functionalization of silica surfaces using sustainable amine sources is critical for advancing environmentally friendly materials in CO2 capture technologies. In this study, bio-based organosilanes derived from coconut fiber cellulose were explored as a green alternative to conventional aminosilane. Two solvent systems DMSO/NH4OH and NaOH/urea were utilized to dissolve and regenerate cellulose, enabling direct grafting onto silica surfaces. Comparative analysis revealed that while DMSO/NH4OH-dissolved cellulose exhibited a modest amine loading of 23.43% wt, comparable to aminopropyl-based modification (22.41% wt), the NaOH/urea system significantly improved the grafting efficiency, reaching 40.52% wt. This enhancement is attributed to urea’s amphiphilic properties, which facilitate both hydrophobic interactions and carbamate formation. The use of a sulfur-free NaOH/urea system not only improves performance but also aligns with green chemistry principles. These results demonstrate the potential of biomass-derived cellulose as a viable modifying agent for silica, paving the way for scalable, low-toxicity, and circular-economy-based material design strategies.

Abstract

This research investigates the fabrication and characterization regarding silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) utilizing essential oil derived from citronella leaves (Cymbopogon nardus L.) as a bioreductant. The synthesis method employed is sonochemistry, with variations in pH levels to determine optimal conditions for AgNPs yield. The use of essential oil as a bioreductant offers eco-friendly advantages and high efficiency in reducing metal ions. The results indicate that the highest yield of 8.67% was achieved at pH 9.0280 and 59.7190 minutes of sonochemical processing. Statistical optimization of processing parameters was conducted to maximize the yield of AgNPs, with the optimization process analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The sequence of experimental runs, condition variations, and obtained results were determined using the Central Composite Design (CCD). The model demonstrates a strong correlation with the experimental data, exhibiting an adjusted R² value of 0.9684. A high F-value of 30.61 and a low p-value of 0.0009 suggest that the regression model is statistically significant and effectively accounts for variations in AgNPs yield. The lack-of-fit value for the model is 0.0359, indicating no significant discrepancy between the experimental data and the model's predicted values. The successful formation of AgNPs was confirmed, with absorption peaks observed within the 400–450 nm range.
