Abstract

Carbon plays an important role in the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology because of its unique properties. Carbon is a cheap and abundant natural source, which is used for the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Bio-synthesis from the wastes of Borassus flabellifer as a carbon source has an advantage over other syntheses, owing to its simple, eco-friendly and low-cost nature. The prepared sample was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX. The carbon nanoparticles have many applications such as cancer treatment, medical sensors and environmental pollutant detecting sensors.
