Abstract

Castor seeds are non-edible oil rich plant product, with many medicinal properties. Carbon nano flakes being a new type carbon material were synthesized from castor seeds (as biological precursor) by single zone CVD method. During pyrolysis, Argon gas was used as a carrier gas, and temperature was maintained 8000C for an hour. Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) images confirmed the morphology of nano sized carbon flakes along with some nano-carbon fragments while XRD peaks showed the crystallinity of the carbon nano flake and RAMAN spectra of obtained carbon nano flakes revealed the presence of defects on its surface thus confirming its amorphous nature.
