Abstract Recently, biomass waste has become the focus of several researchers because it has promising potential when processed into porous activated carbon. Abundant availability, uncomplicated processing, and more economical are the reasons for choosing biomass as the basic material for making carbon electrodes for electric energy storage supercapacitors. In this study, Etlingera elatior waste biomass is processed into activated carbon by heating at high temperature and impregnation of 0.5 M ZnCl2. The monolith sample was optimized through a single-stage integrated high-temperature pyrolysis process. Where the process of carbonization of N2 gas from a temperature of 30 °C to 600 °C followed by a physical activation process of CO2 gas to a temperature of 800 °C. Determination of the physical properties of the electrodes through density characterization, while the electrochemical properties were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge discharge methods. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge discharge analysis were performed with 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous electrolyte at a voltage of 0–1 V and a scan rate of 1 mV/s. Furthermore, the high electrochemical behavior of the CV method was found to be 108 F/g, while for the gcd method, the specific capacitance was much higher at 148 F/g at a constant current density of 1.0 A/g. Further calculations found an energy density of 8.23 Wh/kg and a power density of 161 W/kg. These results support the optimization of 0.5 M ZnCl2 impregnated Etlingera elatior leaves as the base material for activated carbon electrodes to increase the supercapacitor capacitance.

Composite electrodes for supercapacitors have been obtained, consisting of a matrix of highly dispersed carbon materials: microcrystalline graphite and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, also a filler of nanoparticles of nickel hydroxide. Β-Co (OH) 2 and β-Ni (OH) 2 nanopowders were obtained by chemical deposition from solution. To create the electrodes, a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer in the form of a powder was used as a bonding material. The main technological stages of the manufacture of electrodes were determined, the parameters of the obtained structures were measured by the method of cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge. For the manufacture of carbon electrodes, the optimal ratios of highly dispersed carbon materials, a binder polymer and a solvent have been determined to create mechanically strong layers with high conductivity and capacity. The technique of creating capacitor structures and measuring the capacitance of the obtained electrochemical capacitors has been worked out. Capacitors made of highly dispersed carbon materials showed typical rectangular curves of cyclic voltammetry and a linear decay-rise of the galvanostatic charge-discharge dependences. Typical values of specific capacity ~ 50 F / g were obtained. Composite electrodes made of nickel hydroxide nanoparticles in a carbon matrix demonstrated an increase in capacitance to ~ 180 F / g. It is shown that composite electrodes are promising for creating capacitors with a high specific capacity.

Environmentally friendly electrochemical energy storage technology is an important aspect of supporting global energy fulfillment as a contribution to improving the performance of renewable energy conversion systems. Currently, supercapacitors are considered as a superior electrochemical energy storage technology compared to others. This study performed a supercapacitor with electrodes made from porous activated carbon based on biomass waste, especially banana leaf waste. The sample was prepared by sodium hydroxide impregnated at a concentration of 0.5 m/L dan one-step pyrolysis both carbonization dan physical activation. The carbon powder is converted into pellets or monoliths using a hydraulic press without the addition of any adhesive materials. The carbonization process is performed from room temperature to 600 °C in an N2 gas environment while the physical activation process is carried out from a temperature of 600 °C to a high temperature with three different types including 700 °C, 800 °C, dan 800 °C in CO2 gas atmosphere. Density analysis is reviewed as an initial evaluation of the porous carbon electrode. Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of the supercapacitor were evaluated through two different techniques including cyclic voltammetry (CV) dan galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) in a two-electrode system in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The specific capacitance in the CV technique is 142 F/g while the GCD technique produces a specific capacitance of 154 F/g at resistance of 42∙10-3 Ω. The power density dan energy densities for the K-900 are 20.45 Wh/kg dan 38.32 W/kg, respectively. These results confirmed that banana leaves have the potential to be used as porous activated carbon for the supercapacitor electrode.

AbstractIn this report, we incorporate activated carbon (AC) onto aluminum substrate via doctor blade method to produce an all-solid-state supercapacitor. The electrochemical properties of the all-solid-state supercapacitor were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Galvanostatic charge/discharge tests also were carried out to exhibit stability of the AC-based supercapacitor. The impedance and charge/discharge curves of the all-solid-state supercapacitor showed good capacitive behavior after functionalized AC. The highest specific capacitance obtained for the AC-based supercapacitor was 106 F g−1. About 160% of specific capacitance increased after functionalization of the AC, which indicated that modification of the AC by nitric acid was able to introduce functional groups on the AC and improve its electrochemical performances.

In order to improve capacitance in supercapacitors application, activated carbon (AC) was modified by nitric acid oxidizing treatment. Oxygen-containing functional groups (OCFG) were detected by using FTIR techniques. Cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge-discharge were used to characterize the electrochemical performance of the samples in 6 mol/L KOH solution. FTIR studies showed that chemical modification promoted the formation of OCFG on the surface of AC. It was found that the contribution rate of pseudo-capacitance to the total capacitance increased significantly with the extent of oxidization treatment. When oxidized by 50% HNO3, AC achieved a specific capacitance of 197.26F/g at a current density of 20mA/cm2 corresponding to an increasing rate up to 20%.

The powder calcined at 600 °C showed amorphous, and the powder calcined at 700-800 °C showed the pure phase of the LaMnO3. The grains with the size of about 80-120 nm were agglomerating together. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge were used to characterize the electrochemical properties in alkaline environment. The electrochemical properties calcined at 700 °C showed a specific capacitance of 73 F/g at the current density of 0.5 A/g. The raw materials for preparing the LaMnO3 powder are cheap, and the operation method is simple.

The effects of the separator thickness (δ) upon the equivalent series resistances (ESR) and specific capacitances (Cs) of supercapacitors electrodes have been investigated using commercially available porous filter paper (δ=150 μm, pores size=7.5 μm, 80 gm-2). Commercial activated carbon electrodes immersed in 1molL-1 KOH electrolyte (25°C) have been employed in this study. The specific capacitances were calculated from cyclic voltammetry curves at room temperature employing various scan rates (5, 10, 15 and 30 mVs-1). Internal series resistances of the supercapacitors were measured using the galvanostatic charge discharge curves also at room temperature. A maximum of 28 separators (δ=4200 μm) have been employed in this investigation. It has been shown that the ESR increases substantially with separator thickness (from 3.1 to 7.9 Ωcm2). The specific capacitance decreased somewhat with increasing separator thickness and scan rates (from 64 to 52 Fg-1; at 5 mVs-1). The microstructures of the electrode material have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical microanalyses employing energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). A compositional and morphological evaluation of these electrodes showed a very homogeneous microstructure.
