Graphene was successfully synthesized by activating rice husk ash (RHA) using potassium hydroxide (KOH) at 800 oC with 1:2 impregnation ratio. Raman spectroscopy analysis confirmed the presence of graphitic structure. The demonstrated methodology utilizes RHA as carbon source and used as sacrifice t...
