Abstract

In this paper, Graphitic Microporous Carbon (GMiC) has been successfully synthesized by using bidara leaf powder as a natural template.The hard template method used in the synthesis of Graphitic Microporous Carbon (GMiC) produces chemical waste from the release of the template and also creates significant environmental problems due to the use of toxic solvents such as hydrogen peroxide. The use of bidara leaf extract as a natural template is proposed as the best solution to minimize the use of toxic solvents and hard templates that cannot dissolve in the aquatic environment. In this study, Bidara leaf powder produced from Bidara leaf extraction produces Graphitic Microporous Carbon (GMiC) with irregular cube-like morphology. Bidara leaf extracted with NaOH solution has a morphology like a nano-tube which qualifies as a template. Leaf powder. Graphitic Microporous Carbon (GMiC) was characterized by FT-IR, EDX, XRD, and SEM. The characterization results show that Graphitic Microporous Carbon (GMiC) from the bidara leaf template shows regularity of a cuboid shape with functional groups that are dominated by double bond carbon and combined crystallinity between amorphous and graphical carbon which is dominated by carbon elements compared to impurities.
