Green Synthesis of Nano Graphite Materials from Lemon and Orange Peel: A Sustainable Approach for Carbon-Based Materials

Abstract

This research paper presents a study on the preparation and characterization of nano graphite materials (NGMs) from lemon and orange peel powder using the pyrolysis method. The NGMs were analyzed using X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for structural and compositional properties. The XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of the NGMs, while the FTIR analysis provided information about the functional groups present in the materials. Our results suggest that NGMs fabricated from lemon and orange peel powder have potential for applications in various fields, including energy storage and catalysis.
