“…The G‐band at 1596 cm −1 is related to the CC stretching vibration of the sp 2 atoms in the carbon ring . The intensity ratio of D‐band/G‐band ( I D / I G ) is 1.01, indicating the presence of pseudo‐graphitic structures having both disordered and nanocrystalline graphitic structures in the CMs . To further confirm the crystalline structures of the CMs, XRD analysis was employed.…”

In this study, transparent electric heaters (TEHs) are developed based on photoresist‐derived carbon micropatterns (CMs). Well‐defined SU‐8 micropatterns formed by deep UV lithography are carbonized in a tube furnace under an inert atmosphere. The resulting CMs are found to have pseudo‐graphitic structures containing both graphitic and disordered structures. The optical transmittance and electrical conductivity of the CMs increase as their thickness increases. The 102 nm thick CMs exhibit a good transmittance of 78% at 550 nm and a high electrical conductivity of 2.51 × 102 S cm−1. As TEHs, the 102 nm thick CMs demonstrate a maximum temperature of 116 °C with a maximum heating rate of 8.78 °C s−1 at an applied voltage of 60 V and a low electricity consumption of 1.02 W cm−2, which are comparable to the electric heating performance of TEHs prepared with carbon nanomaterials. Therefore, the CMs fabricated in this study can be utilized as electrodes for TEHs in various medical, industrial, consumer, and automobile applications.

“…In the image obtained for human hair (Figure 3a), it is possible to observe the hair cuticle, formed by scales. After pyrolysis, a hollow and brittle carbon is obtained, 8,9 as observed in Figures 3b and 3c. Hair cortex and medulla are eliminated, remaining only the cuticle, which maintains its format on the carbon surface.…”

“…The cuticle is the protective layer and makes the outer surface of the fibers. 3,4 Several research groups have prepared carbonaceous materials derived from human hair, 2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] which can be used as environmental friendly electrodes with good chemical/ thermal stability, acting in catalysis and electrocatalysis, [5][6][7] gas adsorption, 2 electrochemical sensing, 8 and as electrochemical supercapacitors. 8,10,11 For these purposes, the pyrolysis temperature must be in the range of 600-900 °C ensuring the formation of graphitic carbon structures containing a small amount of heteroatoms.…”

This work describes, for the first time, the preparation of palladium nanoparticles supported in thermally-treated human hair. Human hair showed to be an efficient adsorbent of Pd 2+ in aqueous media, reaching nearly 100% of adsorption from a 100 ppm solution. The thermal treatment of hair containing Pd 2+ at 200 °C under nitrogen atmosphere led to the formation of an N, S-containing material presenting 0.5 wt.% of palladium. The material was extensively characterized by elemental analysis (CHN and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP OES)), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies, and by thermogravimetry (TG), thermogravimetry coupled to mass spectrometry (TG-MS), scanning electron miscroscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. It was possible to observe that the surface structure of hair was preserved during thermal treatment, presenting palladium nanoparticles with particle sizes of approximately 4 nm. This material was used as heterogeneous catalyst in a preliminary application in nitrobenzene reduction to aniline in aqueous medium using sodium borohydride.
