Publication date: 2020Source: Materials Today: Proceedings, Volume 21, Part 4Author(s): Ankush Parmar, Panchali Barman, Gurpreet Kaur, Avneet Saini, Shweta SharmaAbstractThe biogenic synthesis of carbon micro composites (CMCs) using a simple chemical method was accomplished by assorting mushroom (Asparagus Disporus) as the organic precursor. Synthesized CMCs ensued the good yield of 0.425 g. The resulted product was characterized using CHN (O) elemental analysis displaying the carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen content as 63.57%, 0.861%, and 0.304%, respectively. FT-IR spectrum clearly displayed C=O, C-N, O-H and C≡N stretch. FE-SEM depicted straight rod-shaped materials having an average diameter of 22.0 μm, with individual rods of 5.0 μm diameter
