Abstract

Perovskite materials, including barium titanate (BaTiO3), are important ferroelectric materials in industry and research today. Ferroelectrics have unique properties such as piezoelectricity, high permittivity, and electrocaloric and electrooptic effects that are beneficial in technological applications. BaTiO3, for example, is a lead-free ferroelectric material relevant for FeRAM and ferroelectric tunnel junctions. However, research on BaTiO3 flexible thin films is still limited, especially in the context of flexible substrates. Therefore, research in the preparation of stable and flexible BTO ferroelectric films is crucial for the advancement of nonvolatile memory devices. The manufacturing method in this study is the Sol Gel Method where the relative molecular mass of BaCO3 material is calculated, then the mass value is entered with the composition of (X)BaTiO3-(1-X)BaZr0.5Ti0.503. After the test is performed using mangosteen leaves, the resulting wave peaks from the FTIR Spectroscopy analysis can be seen. This is one of the characterization methods used to analyze the molecular structure and functional groups of various materials from which samples are made. This analysis indicates that mangosteen leaves contain various organic compounds, including alcohols, alkanes, and carbonyl compounds. In this research, further development is needed so that improvements can be made in the synthesis of ferroelectric material BaTiO3 used as a stabilizing agent.

Abstract

The increasing global energy demand has accelerated the progress of renewable energy technologies and the creation of effective energy storage solutions such as supercapacitors. In this study, biomass obtained from the peel of the matoa fruit (Pometia pinnata) was employed as a raw material to produce activated carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. The preparation process consisted of an initial carbonization step, followed by chemical activation using a 0.7 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution, and then additional carbonization and physical activation stages. The synthesized material was characterized through density measurements and electrochemical testing, including cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) methods, conducted with KOH electrolytes at concentrations of 2, 4, and 6 M. Results demonstrated that combining chemical activation with pyrolysis yielded better outcomes than physical activation alone, as shown by a decrease in activated carbon density, indicating enhanced porosity and surface area. CV analysis revealed that increasing the KOH electrolyte concentration improved the supercapacitor’s performance, reflected in higher specific capacitance during charge-discharge cycles. Moreover, GCD experiments showed that electrodes treated with 6 M KOH electrolyte achieved the greatest specific capacitance, energy density, and power density, recorded at 170.52 F/g, 23.68 Wh/kg, and 580.00 W/kg, respectively. These findings highlight that activated carbon derived from matoa fruit peel is a highly promising material for supercapacitor electrodes, combining excellent electrochemical characteristics, efficiency, and stable cycling behavior.
