The superior ability of graphene has attracted much interest in both its development and application in various field. Graphene has been developed as material for a precursor for fabricating transparent conductive films, absorbents for environmental application, filler or additive in bioplastics, and many other applications. Graphene can be generated from carbon-based materials such as wood charcoal, sawdust, coconut shells, bagasse, rice husk, old tires, polymer-based waste, and cellulose. In this research, graphene is synthesized via Hummers route using carbon of sugarcane bagasse as raw materials. Parameter such as various addition of KMnO4 (5,10,15 gr) is observed. The characterization of the graphene such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to investigate the different implication of the parameter applied during the production process. The results show that the graphene-like materials exhibit similar characteristics as published in previous works in term of crystalline structures, morphology, and its chemical bonding characteristics which can be used for diverse application as demonstrates by graphene derived from graphite exfoliation followed by reduction.
