Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO-SiO<sub>2</sub> Composite Using Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch as a Potential Silica Source

In this paper, the structural and optical properties of ZnO-SiO<sub>2</sub>-based ceramics fabricated from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) were investigated. The OPEFB waste was burned at 600, 700 and 800 °C to form palm ash and was then treated with sulfuric acid to extract silica fr...
