Graphene has risen into a very interesting material because of its extraordinary properties. A new breakthrough that challenges the researcher is how to synthesis graphene from biomass as natural waste and plentiful resources. Coconut shell attracts the most attention because it contains the highest carbon atom among others. In this work, we present the experiment using conventional furnace to overcome the expensive one. Unfortunately, the result is not as expected that Fe2O3 is formed instead of amorphous carbon. We are trying to describe what caused this happen and recommendation to overcome this problem. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
