Abstract
This paper presents a novel method for converting dead leaves into a multifunctional material (AMM) by exploiting the binding properties of whewellite biomineral. The resulting AMM exhibits high performance as a thermal evaporator, photocatalyst (for hydrogen production and antibiotic degradation), and bioplastic. This sustainable approach addresses waste management issues and offers potential for advanced material innovations.
