Carbon-based nano materials were produced from wood chips, lignin and bio-char. The influence of reaction conditions on the production of nano-carbons was investigated. Carbon-based nanomaterials were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The catalytic performance of these nanomaterials as syngas cleaning adsorbents and chemical conversion catalysts for bio-fuel processes has been evaluated.
