Nanostructured carbon-based materials (NCMs) have attracted much attention in various fields such as energy storage/conversion, polymer composites, and electronic devices owing to their physicochemical uniqueness. Accordingly, numerous NCMs have been fabricated from various polymer precursors, with cellulose being one of the most common. Fabricating NCMs using bottom-up methods with cellulose-based precursors is not trivial and sometimes requires complex processes and/or several steps. However, top-down approaches using bio-inspired cellulose materials have significant potential. In this study, we fabricated carbon-based nanosheets from citrus peels (mandarin orange), which are composed of lignin, hemicellulose, cellulose, pectin, and so on, by controlled carbonization with KOH. Their morphological and microstructural characteristics were systematically investigated. |
