Abstract

Electrical storage and distribution devices become important in next generation to help integrate more renewable energy intothe electricity grid. Supercapacitor technology is considered the most promising alternative to Li-ion batteries, which have limitedLithium material. However, the low energy density is a weakness of supercapacitors, even though they have a high-power density.Activated carbon-based supercapacitor electrodes have ideal potential for development. The inherent attributes of activated carbon,pore properties, and functional groups, are responsible for improving the performance of supercapacitors. The main challenge for theresearchers is the pore size distribution, micro (<2nm), meso (2–50 nm), and macro (>50 nm), which varied in activated carbon.Micro pores have an impact on increasing the value of specific capacitance values which will encourage an increase in energy density.Meso pores have an impact on the overall accessibility of the electrode surface by electrolyte ions. Future studies will emphasize oncarbonization and activated carbon activation techniques to improve the surface quality of activated carbon.

Abstract

The development of gamal wood (Gliricidia sepium Jacq.) aims to meet the needs of biomass energy in rural areas. Manystudies on extractives of gamal wood have been carried out, but there is very little information about the effect of extractives on thecalorific value. The effect of extractives on the calorific value can be determined by analyzing extractives compounds contained in thewood. This study aimed to determine the extractives compounds that affect the wood calorific value. The sawdust of gamal bark andwood was extracted by successively maceration by using solvents with different polarities. The free-extractives sawdust was thenmeasured for its calorific value. To ascertain the effect of extractives on the calorific value, the extract of the gamal bark and woodwas added to the oil palm sawdust, then the increase in calorific value was measured. The results showed that the extractives ingamal bark and wood affect the change of calorific value. The removal of extractives by using different solvents caused a differentdecrease in calorific value. The highest decrease in calorific value (4.03%) was obtained by non-polar (n-hexane) soluble extractiveof the gamal bark. The addition of gamal wood extracts to oil palm sawdust also causes an increase in the calorific value.Phytochemical and LC-MS/MS analysis of n-hexane soluble extractives from gamal bark detected groups of terpene compounds,amides alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarins, and benzopyrans. Based on the results of this study, the n-hexane soluble compounds wassuspected to have the most influence on the calorific value.

Abstract

The growing demand for renewable energy has driven the utilization of biomass as an environmentally friendly alternative energy source. This study aims to develop high-quality biopellets based on Calliandra calothyrsus wood by incorporating Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) and Melaleuca cajuputi (cajuput leaf waste) to enhance combustion efficiency and reduce ash content. Five biomass formulations were evaluated: pure calliandra, pure water hyacinth, pure cajuput leaves, calliandra–water hyacinth (75:25), and calliandra–cajuput leaves (75:25). The produced biopellets were analyzed for their physical characteristics, calorific value, and proximate properties, including moisture content, volatile matter, ash content, and fixed carbon. Results showed that the calliandra–cajuput mixture yielded the best performance, with a density of 0.84 g/cm³, low ash content (2.65%), and a high calorific value (18.2 MJ/kg). The addition of water hyacinth reduced volatile matter but increased ash content. The biopellets from the calliandra–cajuput blend met the SNI 8675:2018 standard for both household and industrial use. This study demonstrates that the integration of locally available biomass waste can significantly improve biopellet quality while supporting sustainable waste management and renewable energy diversification.
