Abstract
A pressing environmental concern, agricultural waste demands sustainable solutions. This study explores converting agro-industrial waste into energy and innovative applications through microwave-assisted pyrolysis. It assesses waste-to-energy potential and introduces novel electrochemical sensors for biomedical and nitrite detection.
