Abstract

Some studies of the usage of biomass to produce carbon-based compounds have been reported in the past. Here we report that palmyra sugar can be one of the sources to produce amorphous carbon (a-C) from biomass after the heating treatment at 250oC. In this paper, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) measurements are reported in order to check the detailed properties of a-C from palmyra sugar. The XRD data at a diffraction peak position (2θ) of ~23o support the formation of a-C. The functional groups detected by FTIR spectra consist of C=C, C-C, C-O, C=O, C-H and O-H. The remnant magnetization (Mr), coercive field (Hc) and saturation magnetization are estimated as ~0.1 × 10-3 emu/g, ~50 Oe and ~9×10-3 emu/g, respectively. Soft ferromagnetism in a-C from palmyra sugar is confirmed, comparable with the magnetization result in the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sample from coconut shell and rGO commercial material which have the same mixture hybridization.
