摘要

This study reports an eco-friendly microwave-assisted synthesis of cube-like mesoporous potassium tantalate (KTaO₃) nanoparticles using areca seed as a green fuel. Comprehensive structural and morphological characterizations confirmed the formation of highly crystalline, mesoporous KTaO₃ with a unique cubic morphology. Electrochemical evaluations demonstrated excellent lithium-ion battery anode performance, featuring a high reversible capacity of 610 mAh g⁻¹, outstanding cycling stability over 500 cycles, remarkable rate capability up to 3 C, and a coulombic efficiency of > 95%. Additionally, the material exhibited superior electrocatalytic activity for non-enzymatic glucose sensing, attributed to enhanced electron transfer and high surface area. The synthesis approach combines sustainability with multifunctionality, offering a promising pathway to develop advanced materials for energy storage and biomedical sensing applications.
