The degree of crystallinity (CrI) has been calculated by the reported method with slight modification (Pelegrini et al., 2019). Briefly, CrI is calculated from the ratio of the area of all crystalline peaks to the total area. XRD spectrum is used to calculate the CrI, by using software (Origin or Peak Fit) (Garvey et al., 2005). Gaussian functions in curve-fitting process are commonly used for the deconvolution of XRD spectra (Teeaar et al., 1987). Crystallinity can be calculated by using the equation.
