Obtained carbon nanospheres showed a porous nature and revealed that more than 95 carbon is present in the synthesized carbon nanospheres with particle size ranging from 40 to 70 nm. An electrochemical study showed a specific capacitance value of 180 F g-1 at 2 mV s-1 and the cycling stability up to 1700 cycles. Obtained carbon nanospheres are useful in supercapacitor applications. The presented study revealed a waste to wealth approach thereby reducing waste in the environment.
