Catalyst free silica templated porous carbon nanoparticles from bio-waste materials
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 (SiO2) bodies of OPL as a templ...

| Summary: | 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 (SiO2) 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. |
