Summary: | This work demonstrates the formation of amorphous silica and zinc oxide nanoparticles acquired from waste rice ash by the solid-state method. The XRD of zinc silicate pure and doped with bismuth oxides reveals the crystalline phase. The FTIR results show less significant variations with the increment of dopant concentrations. The FESEM does not show any feature of bismuth oxides in all the samples; this signifies all bismuth oxides absorbed by the samples. The thermal diffusivity value of samples fluctuates; the highest value is for the Bi 3 wt% with 0.2329–0.1592 mm
