Sorption based easy-to-use low-cost filters derived from invasive weed biomass for dye contaminated water cleanup.

ABSTRACT: Today, the development of functional nanostructured materials with specified morphologies utilizing environmentally friendly techniques is a very appealing topic in materials chemistry. Much emphasis has recently been paid to the utilization of biomass to make functional carbonaceous materials of varying forms, specifically carbon helices, with greater implications for the environment, economy, and society. A metal-catalyzed chemical vapour deposition technique has been developed for the fabrication of such carbon helices from nonrenewable hydrocarbons. Also, functionalization approaches were seen to necessitate high temperatures, hazardous gases, and multi-step processes. Herein, we have synthesized tendril-like functional carbon helices (HTCs) from toxic bio-weed, Parthenium hysteroph
