The mechanisms of calcium-catalyzed graphenization of cellulose and lignin biochars uncovered

Abstract A recent study has shown that highly crystalline graphene-based materials can be obtained from poorly organized carbon precursors using calcium as a non-conventional catalyst. XRD and TEM analyses of calcium-impregnated cellulose and lignin biochars showed the formation of well-ordered grap...
