Abstract

In this study, a blend of graphene oxide (GO), leather waste (leather sludge(LS)/leather fleshings (LF)), nanocellulose (nano-C) (biopolymer), and glycerol (Gly) homogeneously in alkaline aqueous solution is used to produce biopolymer blended solution (BBS), by chemical polymerization, for use in bioenergy. The efficient and eco-friendly BBS was characterized by its physicochemical and electrical conductivity properties. The BBS achieved the highest current density energy value (0. 53 mA cm-2) at 1. 2 V. The results of the research show the significance of evaluating bioenergy technological environmental performance from comparable perspectives to examine and identify environmental exchange from existing bioenergy developments.
