Catalyst-free synthesis of carbon nanospheres for potential biomedical applications: waste to wealth approach†

A single step and simple pyrolysis technique is used to prepare carbon nanospheres (CNSs) from natural biowaste sago hampas in a nitrogen atmosphere without any catalyst. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images along with transmission electron microscope (TEM) images show evidence of high qualit...
