Porous Carbon Nanoparticles (PCNs) with well-developed microporosity were obtained from bio-waste oil palm leaves (OPL) using single step pyrolysis in nitrogen atmosphere at 500�600 °C in tube-furnace without any catalysis support. The key approach was using silica (SiO2) bodies of OPL as a templ...
