Abstract

Carbon-based materials are solid carbon enriched with carbon, produced through thermochemical processes such as pyrolysis. However, unmodified and unactivated carbon materials obtained from low-temperature pyrolysis of biomass show poor performance in energy storage applications due to their unsuitable physicochemical and electrical properties, such as low surface area, inadequate pore structure, and low density and conductivity. To improve the properties of carbon, surface modification and activation are applied to enhance carbon's surface features and structure, resulting in better electrochemical performance. Various activation methods are used to modify the surface properties of carbon, making it more suitable for supercapacitor applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of carbon activation techniques, focusing on their effects on physicochemical and electrical properties and their potential use as supercapacitor electrodes. The article also highlights existing research gaps and suggests directions for future development.

Abstract

Foodborne bacteria cause food spoilage, usually Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Thus, synthetic preservatives are employed in food preservation to prevent food spoilage caused by microorganisms. Excessive use of synthetic preservatives can cause disease. Bio-oil has become a natural preservative because of its high phenolic content. However, bio-oil still requires purification because the initial bio-oil (grade 3) still contains carcinogenic compounds that are dangerous for consumption. Therefore, this study aims to determine the components of the bio-oil compound after purification and its effectiveness as an antibacterial. Durian shell (DS) is pyrolyzed in a heating reactor without oxygen at a temperature of 330–600ºC (flow rate 6ºC/minute) with a 2-3 cm material size. Furthermore, bio-oil purification includes stages of filtration using activated zeolite, fractional distillation at 70–200ºC (grade 2), and filtration using activated charcoal (grade 1). Bio-oil purification includes stages of filtration using active zeolite and activated charcoal (grade 2), and fractional distillation at a temperature of 150–200ºC (grade 1). Based on Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, grade 2 and grade 1 contain the major compounds 1,4-dimethyl-1h-imidazole and acetic acid. The research showed that bio-oil grades 1 and 2, when used at a 30% concentration, exhibit antibacterial strong effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. These findings suggest that bio-oil grades 1 and 2 could be valuable natural preservatives.
