Bougainvillea petals-derived porous carbon nanosheets for electrocatalytic OER performance.

ABSTRACT: The progression of earth-abundant and effective sustainable materials for energy conversion applications, such as the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is vital for our future. Particularly, biomass procured carbon materials are considered as a potential catalyst owed to the inherent possessions such as environmental friendly nature, low cost and abundance. In this work, biomass-derived carbon materials were synthesized using bougainvillea petals at several temperatures, including 600 °C, 700 °C and 800 °C, via an economical approach. Various physicochemical characterizations, such as XRD, Raman, XPS, SEM and TEM analysis, were conducted, which demonstrated the formation of carbon materials and showed off the existence of porous carbon nanosheets. The prepared electrocatalyst at 700 °C exhi
