Zeolite based silica rice husk has been prepared and analyzed with thermal treatment 150 °C, 250 °C, and 350 °C. This research was conducted to study the effect of thermal treatment with a variety temperature to particle size and electrical conductivity of zeolite. In thermal treatment at 350 °C was obtained the smallest particle size, amounted to15,396 μm, meanwhile the highest electrical conductivity values was obtained at 250 °C,amounted to 1,5540x10-4 S/cm. This is caused by the phase structure changes and particle agglomeration. Based on the result of electrical conductivity values, zeolite is included in semiconductor and has a potential as a supercapacitor electrode.
