Biomass, though a major energy source, remains underutilized. Biochar from biomass pyrolysis, with its high porosity and surface area, is especially useful as catalyst support, enhancing catalytic activity reducing electron recombination in photocatalysis. Indonesia, the world’s top palm oil producer, generated around 12 million tons of empty fruit bunches (EFBs) 2023, making EFBs promising biochar source. This study synthesizes leftover EFB fibers at 500, 800, 1000 °C, analyzing structural changes via infrared Raman spectroscopy, along particle size area analysis, laying groundwork for future research. The smallest highest gained was 71.1 nm 10.6 × 102 m2/g. Spectroscopic analysis indicates that produced °C has nano-crystalline graphite crystallite approximately 5.47 nm. provides higher defect density, although lower conductivity. Other studies indicate our can be used support various green energy-related applications, i.e., counter electrodes, electrocatalysts, photocatalysts.
