Abstract

Supercapacitors are advanced energy storage devices with high power density and rapid charge–discharge capabilities. This study explores the potential of coconut shell–based activated carbon as an electrode material for supercapacitors. Coconut shell carbon powder was carbonized at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 700°C and chemically activated using 3M KOH for 24 hours. The activated carbon was then filtered, rinsed with distilled water until neutral pH, and dried at 120°C for 4 hours. Characterization was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM images confirmed the formation of uniformly distributed pores, with higher carbonization temperatures leading to increased pore development. BET analysis showed that both surface area and pore volume increased with rising carbonization temperatures. XRD patterns revealed amorphous graphite-like carbon structures, with improved crystallinity at higher temperatures. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of aromatic C=C and C–O functional groups. These results demonstrate that activated carbon derived from coconut shells exhibits favorable physicochemical properties, indicating strong potential as a low-cost and sustainable electrode material for supercapacitor applications.

Abstract

The high adsorption ability of activated carbon can be used in various applications, one of which is as an adsorbent in the water purification process. Coconut shell is one of the materials that can be used as raw material for active carbon due to its high levels of carbon, lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose, and has a large number of pores. Pore formation depends on the temperature, activator, and activation time used. This research aims to form active carbon from coconut shells by varying the carbonization temperature with KOH activator on pore formation and adsorption capacity. Making coconut shell carbon powder is obtained from the carbonization of coconut shells at a temperature variation of 500°C -700°C for 2 hours, then crushed and sieved with a 40 mesh size. The coconut shell carbon powder that has been sifted is then chemically activated by soaking the carbon powder in a 3M KOH activator solution for 24 hours. Next, the activated carbon powder is filtered and rinsed with distilled water (H2O) repeatedly until the pH approaches ±7. The activated carbon was placed in the oven at 120°C for 4 hours. Activated carbon powder was tested using BET for the pore volume and surface area of coconut shell activated carbon and its adsorption capacity for methylene blue dye was tested using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The research results show that in general the formation of pores resulting from SEM results increases in number and size as the carbonization temperature increases. The maximum pore volume and surface area obtained at a temperature of 700°C were 2,414 cc/g and 426,692 m2/g respectively. The most optimal adsorption capacity is 3957.15 mg/g at a carbonization temperature of 700°C.

Abstract

The Standard Model is a model of particle physics in which one Higgs particle has been confirmed with a mass of 126 GeV. In 2016 some discoveries made it possible to have other scalar particles similar to the Higgs. The modified left-right symmetric model extends the standard model with an expanded scalar sector. There are ϕ_L and Δ_L left sector scalar particles, ϕ_L and Δ_L right sector scalar particles and two singlet η and ξ scalar particles. Therefore, this research objective is to analyze of the possibility of a Higgs interaction with other scalar particles. The method of this research is using a Feynman diagram to describe the interaction terms at the Higgs Potential. The interaction probability is sought using the Feynman rule for Toy Theory. The decay rate uses the Golden Rule. When the universe's temperature reaches the mass of η, the scalar becomes non-relativistic and decays into ϕ_L and ϕ_R. The scalar ξ is scattered into ϕ_L through the η scalar propagator and into ϕ_R. The scalars Δ_L and Δ_R do not decay, they only scatter into ϕ_L and ϕ_R. The η and ξ scalars have transformed into ϕ_L in the left sector and ϕ_R in the right sector, and only ϕ_L in the sectors are likely to be detected as the Higgs Standard Model.
