In this study, a hierarchically porous carbon was prepared from a natural material, Averrhoa bilimbi, also known as bilimbi. The bilimbis were cut into preferred shape and size before drying by freeze drying method. The bilimbis were then subjected to pyrolysis at temperature of 400°C and transforme...
