  KEYWORDS: Romanesco broccoli, Fibonacci Parastichy Structure, Three-Dimensional Carbon Material

  ABSTRACT: The curd of Romanesco broccoli was carbonized at 900°C under argon atmosphere in a gold furnace chamber. The carbonization afforded a carbon material with a fine logarithmic spiral on the surface, resembling the Fibonacci parastichy structure of the Romanesco broccoli flower bud. The carbonized “flower bud” structure was observed under scanning electron microscopy. Infrared absorption spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements confirmed the chemical structure and component of the carbon material.
