This protocol represents an alternative to the two step methods that are usually reported for doping carbon matrices. The carbon structure of the pyrolyzed erythrocytes is that of highly thin carbon flakes that display both rugosity and porosity. The characterization of the carbon through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) also confirms the existence of a rich variety of oxygen heteroatom structures within a turboestratic iron doped carbon matrix.
