dc.description.abstractThis study demonstrates the synthesis of hydrochar, a high-value material, from watermelon seed husk, a lowvalue waste material, using the hydrothermal synthesis method. The microwave power effect plays an important role in the use of metal-free and environmentally friendly catalysts for the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. The XRD, BET, SEM, and FTIR analyses characterized the catalyst. X-ray diffraction revealed the catalyst structure to be cellulosic. The surface area and total pore volume were 1.063 m2/g and 0.0195 cm3/g, respectively, in BET analysis. According to the IUPAC classification, the catalyst conformed to the type III isotherm. This study investigated how good the catalyst for the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride was when it was exposed to microwave irradiation at different microwave powers, solution temperatures, and catalyst amounts. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood and nth-order kinetic models calculated the activation energies to be 82.192 and 83.35 kJ/mol, respectively. The use of bio-waste hydrochar as a catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride in the microwave environment shows promising results in the search for metal-free catalysts.
