Abstract

The demand for low-cost carbons with multi-doping in supercapacitors has led to a significant focus on utilizing biomass waste to produce activated carbons. The research successfully utilized Musa paradisiaca L. (MPL) peel as a porous carbon for solid-state supercapacitor. The process involved collecting banana peel waste, drying the peels using sunlight, pre-carbonization using a furnace, pH neutralization, drying, crushing carbon particles, and ensuring uniform particle size. Different concentrations of the catalytic ZnCl2 solution (300, 500, and 700 mmol/g) were selected to optimize physical and electrochemical properties. The resulting chemically activated MPL carbon powder was evaluated using SEM-EDS, XRD, and BET. MPL activated carbon with a 500 mmol/g solution of ZnCl2 was found to have optimal physical properties with a carbon percentage of 81.65%, oxygen 17.39%, phosphorus 0.42%, and boron 0.52%. Electrochemical properties were evaluated using dual-electrode system was exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 67 F/g. These findings demonstrate the potential of MPL peel waste as a high quality electrode for supercapaicor next-generation.

Abstract

Biomass-based porous carbon is an exceptional material with unique nano-morphological properties and a high surface area, making it an ideal candidate for improving the performance of supercapacitor electrodes. Herein, activated carbon derived novel areca-nut waste (ANW) as electrodes materials were successfully produced using a simple method. The process involved drying the ANW using pre-carbonization, chemical activation, and high-temperature pyrolysis. The zinc chloride was selected as chemical catalytic in 1 m/l solution. Subsequently, porous carbon was produced at different physical activation temperatures of 800°C, 850°C, and 900°C. The activated carbon was converted into coin-like design with an additional adhesive of PVA. The electrochemical properties were assessed using a two-electrode system in a 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The ANW-based supercapacitor demonstrated good electrochemical performance, with an optimal specific capacitance of 94.6 F/g at 850°C. Additionally, it exhibited an optimal energy density of 12.8 Wh/kg and a power density of 245.516 W/kg. These results suggest that porous carbon derived from ANW biomass holds promise as a sustainable working electrode for green-supercapacitor.

Abstract

A major challenge in the use of supercapacitor energy storage applications is optimizing 3D-hierarchical porous and 2D nanofiber structures to improve the electrochemical performance of colored biomass-derived activated carbon (AC). Therefore, this study aims to synthesize AC from Dracaena Angustifolia (DA) leaves and dregs using a sustainable method through chemical activation and high-temperature pyrolysis. AC was designed to be adhesive-free to maintain the true mechanical properties of the precursor. Research results showed that the sample of DA-dregs-KOH shows optimal results with a specific surface area (317.66 m2 g-1). The electrochemical performance of hierarchical porous carbon treated with 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte in a 2-electrode system had a nanofiber structure with the highest specific capacitance (248 F g-1) at 1 A g-1 and energy density (12.96 Wh kg-1) with a coulomb efficiency 84.1%. Based on these results, DA dreg-KOH based porous AC with hierarchical porous morphology shows significant potential to be used as binder-free electrode materials that can produce high-performance supercapacitors as a new renewable and sustainable energy storage solution.
