Oil palm waste based phthaloyl cellulose: a product of photosynthesis as an electrolyte of photovoltaics

Abstract: Waste to wealth extraction of cellulose from oil palm empty fruit bunch was performed. The extracted cellulose was then transformed to an organosoluble derivative, phthaloyl cellulose (PhC). Attachment of the aromatic group was verified by 13 C NMR and FTIR whereas XRD diffractograms endor...
