| Abstract Scope |
Highly graphitic and porous nitrogen doped carbon with nano structured morphologies was synthesized from sustainable source of chicken feather fibers (CFF). Thermal degradation behavior of CFF was studied to design appropriate pyrolysis profile for carbon synthesis. A simple two-step high pressure/temperature pyrolysis scheme was implemented, wherein during the first step an intermediate crosslinking mechanism at 230 °C was responsible for maintaining the intact fibrous structure of feather material. The second step of pyrolysis at 1100 °C helped in proper graphitization of carbon resulting in formation of semi crystalline carbon with nanopore size distribution. Crystallinity and surface functional groups of carbon material was characterized using XRD and FTIR studies. Graphitization of carbon was studied using Raman spectroscopy. Structure, composition and morphology of carbon were studied using TEM, SEM and EDS analysis. Nitrogen doped carbon thus derived has great potential as anode material for energy storage applications. |
