Catalyst free silica templated porous carbon nanoparticles from bio-waste materials

Abstract: Porous Carbon Nanoparticles (PCNs) with well-developed microporosity were obtained from bio-waste oil palm leaves (OPL) using single step pyrolysis in nitrogen atmosphere at 500-600 8C in tubefurnace without any catalysis support. The key approach was using silica (SiO 2 ) bodies of OPL as a template in the synthesis of microporous carbon nanoparticles with very small particle sizes of 35-85 nm and pore sizes between 1.9-2 nm.In modern-day scientific applications, porous nanocarbons are ubiquitous and indispen… Show more

“…The precursor is a biorenewable resource, areca nut kernel, and CNSs are produced by a catalyst‐free, one‐pot pyrolysis technique, ensuring cost‐effective carbon source and synthetic procedure. This work is a continuation of our previous studies on waste‐to‐wealth approach . The bio‐derived CNSs are directly used as catalytic support to Pd without any further activation, unlike the activated carbon materials that are currently in use .…”

“…This work is a continuation of our previous studies on waste-to-wealth approach. [47][48][49][50][51][52] The bio-derived CNSs are directly used as catalytic support to Pd without any further activation, unlike the activated carbon materials that are currently in use. [53][54][55] We utilized microwave heating [56,57] to achieve faster conversions, unlike traditional methods.…”

“…Particularly, different synthetic routes were adopted to get the finest carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) having uniform size and shape distribution with appreciable surface area . Amongst, the pyrolysis method is relatively better than wet‐chemical process due to its high yield and reproducibility . Using pyrolytic process several attempts were made to convert malignant environmental waste into degradable/benign substances.…”
