Abstract

The development of potato nanocarbon as an electrode from potatoes for supercapacitors will answer the energy needs that are needed and are continuously researched. This research was conducted in the laboratory by giving marinade treatment to potatoes and measured repeatedly and testing was carried out to determine the extent of the carbon content so that potatoes are very good to be used as electrodes with electroplating method. The results obtained were 0.8 grams of potatoes with a very high conductivity increase to 0.97 m S. The result TEM 160 nm after treatment an average size of 100 nm successfully coated on the surface of the particles. FTIR shows a wavelength of 3282.48 cm due to the width of potato absorption and overlapping with the C-H-O group. AAS shows the adsorption capacity of modified potato on metals occurs in the pH range 4.5-5.5. Analysis of potatoes to be made as electrodes with two positive and negative pieces showed better dispersion stability. The electrodes are made and have been tested using a smartphone. The acid in the potato forms a chemical reaction with zinc and copper and when electrons flow from one material to another energy is released.

Abstract

Moisture-induced degradation remains a critical reliability issue in photovoltaic (PV) modules, particularly in humid tropical climates. While biomass-derived carbon materials have been widely investigated for electrochemical applications, their use as functional supporting layers in PV modules remains limited. This study develops potato-derived carbon nanofibers through moderate-temperature carbonization (700 °C, N₂ atmosphere) followed by electrospinning. Structural and chemical properties were evaluated using XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and BET surface area analysis. Morphology and fiber diameter distribution were examined via SEM. Electrical conductivity was measured using a four-point probe method. Water vapor permeability (WVP) and biodegradation behavior were assessed to evaluate durability and moisture regulation capability. The synthesized material exhibits predominantly amorphous turbostratic carbon with characteristic D and G Raman bands (ID/IG ≈ 0.92), specific surface area of 186 ± 12 m²/g, and electrical conductivity of 3.8 ± 0.4 S/m. Nanofiber diameters range from 72–108 nm (mean ± SD). Controlled WVP (3200–4100 mg/day/L) and moderate biodegradability (8–12% mass loss over 14 days) indicate balanced vapor diffusion and structural integrity. The results demonstrate the feasibility of potato-derived carbon nanofibers as sustainable moisture-regulating supporting layers in photovoltaic modules.
