Direct conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biomimetic tendril-like functional carbon helices: a protein friendly host for cytochrome C

Abstract

Tendril-like functional carbon helices (TLFCHs) was successfully prepared directly from <italic>Parthenium hysterophorus</italic> using a solvothermal method employing a deep eutectic solvent as both soft template and catalyst. TLFCHs showed significant potential as a host for an enzyme without compromising the catalytic activity.
