This work systematically demonstrated the effects of temperature on graphitization of biocarbon from distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Slow pyrolysis of DDGS was performed at different temperatures of 400ºC, 700ºC and 1000ºC using a GLO-Gero batch type pyrolyzer. The intensity of the FTIR spectra peaks associated with different functionalities in the biocarbons reduced with the increasing pyrolysis temperatures while the thermal stability increased. Raman spectroscopy was conducted to analyze the graphitization of DDGS biocarbon. Interestingly, the ratio of the intensity of disordered peak (ID) and graphitized peak (IG), expressed as ID/IG, decreased from 1.29 to 0.9 for biocarbon at 400 to 1000 °C increasing temperatures. The morphology and modulus of the biocarbons pyrolyzed at different temperatures were studied via atomic force microscopy (AFM) and it was determined that the moduli of biocarbon samples increased as temperatures increased. A higher degree of graphitization in biocarbons was correlated with higher moduli. The overall results showed that the morphology and characteristics of renewable biocarbon can be tailored to design and fabricate smart sustainable composites.
