Abstract Combustion of coal at thermal power plants generates enormous amounts fly ash (CFA). Proper disposal CFA is an important issue today because environmental problems are considered a burning worldwide. On the other hand, groundnut shells (GNS), regarded as agricultural waste in general, litter landfills everywhere and create soil degradation. Since both GNS contain abundant silica, this work focuses on extracting amorphous silica from these materials through total dissolution–precipitation process. The was extracted it used to prepare titanium oxide (TiO₂) hybrids. GNSS were GNS, CFAS CFA. methods based sol–gel. These hybrids further tested for performance their solar cells dissolving dyes. overall results obtained physical properties similar those conventional silica. More importantly, TiO₂/GNSS TiO₂/CFAS showed enhanced photocatalytic efficiency compared pure TiO₂. Therefore, evidence repurposing which have high potential use sustainable applications renewable energy remediation.
