Porous nanocarbons with average particle size 20–40 nm were developed using biowaste oil palm leaves as a precursor. Simple pyrolysis was carried out at 700 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. Obtained porous nanocarbons showed excellent porous nature along with spherical shape. Symmetric supercapacitor f...
