Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermogravimetric (DTG) analyses were carried out using a TGA Q500 thermal gravimetric analyzer (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The nitrogen flow into the furnace was maintained at a rate of 90 mL/min. Approximately 7 mg of the sample placed in a platinum pan were heated from 30 ± 5 °C to 1000 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. TG and DTG thermograms were analyzed using Universal Analysis 2000 software (TA Instruments). Three measurements were performed. Char yield was determined by weighing the sample before and after pyrolysis. Three measurements were performed.
