In this study, we synthesized pure ZnO and Co-doped ZnO (Co/ZnO) photocatalysts through a simple coprecipitation approach. UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) were among the analytical methods used to certainly evaluate the photocatalysts. XRD patterns confirmed that the Co-ZnO sample exhibited a single-phase structure also exhibits crystallite size were 20 nm. Co, Zn, and O components were confirmed to be present in the synthetic material by EDAX analysis. FESEM imaging revealed the nanoparticle spherical like morphology of the Co-ZnO photocatalyst, while FTIR spectra provided information on the material’s chemical bonds. The band gap was measured using UV-Vis spectroscopy, with Co-ZnO nanoparticles showing a band gap of 2.83 eV. The synthesized photocatalysts were applied to degrade methylene blue, methyl orange dye and tested for antimicrobial properties. Results indicated that the optimized Co doped ZnO sample achieved higher photocatalytic performance under sunlight, with 86% degradation of methylene blue dye within 120 min.

Conventional plastics have been derived predominantly from non-renewable fossil fuels, like crude oil or natural gas. Worldwide production of plastic is growing significantly every year; while the amount of plastic that has been recycled effectively is quite low, forcing a negative impact on the environment and sustainability. Larger plastic items decompose into smaller particles over time known as microplastics. These microplastics can enter the food chain, potentially harming living organisms and posing risks to human health. Conventional plastics also play an important role in greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. Bioplastics and biocomposites generated from plant sources like starch, cellulose, lignin, pectin, CAN’s based, banana peel, bamboo based etc. are becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics due to their eco-friendly nature. In addition, the bioplastics and biocomposites were easily recycled and biodegraded completely in the soil within a short span of time. In this review, we discuss the recent developments and innovations from the year 2023 and 2024 in the field of bioplastics, biocomposites and their applications. Special importance will focus on their synthesis from natural sources and their biodegradable nature which make bioplastics a sustainable alternative.
