A Brief Overview of the Synthesis of Carbon-Based Nanomaterials from Biomass

Abstract

Biomass from agricultural waste offers an abundant, natural and affordable carbon source for the synthesis of value-added carbonaceous materials. The conversion of these agricultural wastes into nanoscale products relies on the development of environmentally friendly, affordable, simple and scalable new synthesis methods for commercial production of graphene-type nanomaterials. However, all agricultural waste acts as a carbonaceous product required for GO production. Based on this, in this study, new biomass materials and economical approaches were proposed to prepare GO. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of graphene synthesis methods were discussed and green nanotechnology was examined. Some studies on the synthesis of carbon-based nanomaterials from biomass were examined and the place of graphene in health applications was investigated. How lignocellulosic biomass was converted into carbon-based nanomaterials was investigated and its mechanism was discussed.

Biyokütlelerden Karbon Bazlı Nanomalzemelerin Sentezi Üzerine Kısa Bir Bakış

Öz

Tarımsal atık kaynaklı biyokütleler, katma değerli karbonlu malzemelerin sentezi için bol, doğal ve uygun fiyatlı bir karbon kaynağı sunmaktadır. Bu tarımsal atıkların nano ölçekli ürünlere dönüştürülmesi, grafen tipi nanomalzemelerin ticari üretimi için çevre dostu, uygun fiyatlı, basit ve ölçeklenebilir yeni sentez yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesine dayanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, tüm tarımsal atıklar, GO üretimi için gerekli olan karbonlu bir ürün görevi görmektedir. Buna dayanarak, bu çalışmada, GO hazırlamak için yeni biyokütle malzemeleri ve ekonomik yaklaşımlar önerilmektedir. Bununla beraber, grafen sentez yöntemlerinin avantaj ve dezavantajları tartışılarak yeşil nanoteknoloji incelenmiştir. Biyokütlelerden karbon bazlı nanomalzemelerin sentezi üzerine yapılan bazı çalışmalar incelenerek grafenin sağlık uygulamalarındaki yeri araştırılmıştır. Lignoselülozik biyokütlelerin karbon temelli nanomalzemelere nasıl dönüştürüldüğü araştırılarak mekanizması tartışılmıştır.
