This paper presents the utilization of bamboo residue from the chopstick industry as modified carbon (AC) for supercapacitor application.  Bamboo activated carbon (BAC) was activated using Potassium hydroxide (KOH) and assisted with microwave ultrasonic (Mw-U) irradiation to enhance the properties of bamboo activated carbon (BAC). Different microwave (Mw) power intensities of 100 W, 300 W, and 500 W at 30 minutes of retention time have been applied on activation and the carbonization process was conducted at temperature 800°C. The BAC was analyzed for the morphology using a scanning electron microscope and proximate and ultimate analysis. Then BAC with the higher surface area was subjected to the electrochemical analysis to determine the electrochemical properties. The study indicated Mw-U irradiation improved the morphology of the BAC, eliminated the impurity of the sample, and gave higher carbon content of BAC. The findings show that lower Mw-U irradiation power provided a higher surface area of BAC. The surface area of 646.87 m2/g and total pore volume of 2.8x10-1 cm3/g was obtained with a power intensity of Mw-U activation at 100 W. While, electrochemical properties, the specific capacitance (Cs) of BAC was 77 Fg-1 at 25 mVs-1 in 1 mol/L KOH of electrolyte for cyclic voltammetry (CV) which indicates the ability of the prepared BAC to be used as an electrode in supercapacitor application. This study determined that Mw-U irradiation can improve the properties of the bamboo during chemical activation and formed BAC that consists of supercapacitor properties.

Selection of suitable activation agent is important in order to produce high surface area of activated carbon. The present study was undertaken to develop high surface area of durian shell activated carbon (DSAC) using different chemical activation agents which were potassium hydroxide (KOH) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Surface porosity and surface area were directly measured from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface area analyzer, respectively. For the optimum condition, it showed that H3PO4 treated DSAC had the highest surface area which was 257.50 m2/g compared to KOH treated DSAC which was 13.10 m2/g. H3PO4 treated DSAC also showed the highest micropore surface area, external surface area and total pore volume with 191.22 m2/g, 66.28 m2/g and 0.149 cm3/g, respectively. SEM result showed that H3PO4 treated DSAC had a well pronounce porosity than durian shell char. Surface area and surface porosity were important in an adsorption process.

Radiation Time

Conversion of waste to wealth has been one of the ways to reduce the volume of industrial waste to disposal site, hence reducing the impact to the environment. In this work, paint sludge from an automotive industry (APS) was converted into activated carbon through chemical activation (potassium hydroxide (KOH)) using microwave pyrolysis technique. The effect of power and radiation time on the produced activated carbon were investigated and characterised (carbon content, surface area, and pore volume) to identify the possibility of application as a supercapacitor. Potassium hydroxide activation of the APS char via microwave pyrolysis has shown that power level and radiation time has influenced the yield of the APS activated carbon. A longer radiation time and higher power supply has produced activated carbon having higher carbon contents, lower impurities, higher surface area and higher pore volume. Thus, the APS activated carbon obtained via microwave pyrolysis at power supply 1000 W and 45 minutes radiation time had produced the highest surface area and total pore volume of 434.3 m2/g and 0.2901 cm3/g, respectively. However, the produced activated carbon is not suitable for the supercapacitor application as the minimum surface area requirement must be more than 1000 m2/g. The pore size of the activated APS char produced in this study was in the range of mesopores size which was also considered very poor for supercapacitor application. The outcome of this research has shown that the produced activated carbon could otherwise be used for other application than a supercapacitor.

Activated carbon fibers were prepared from stabilized PAN-based fibers by chemical activation using potassium hydroxide at different concentration. The experimental data showed variations in specific surface area, microstructure by the activated carbon fibers. Specific surface area of about 2545 m2/g was obtained in the KOH/stabilized PAN-based fiber ratio of 1:1 at 800°. An abrupt reduction of specific surface area was observed in the experiments with the ratio of 3:1 of OH/stabilized PAN-based fiber, being dissimilar with the result of KOH/fiber ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 in the similar experiments. The high concentration of KOH led to the destruction of micropore walls instead of forming mesopores.

The preparation of activated carbon from wood-based industrys residue is one of the most environmental friendly solutions of transforming negative-valued wastes to valuable materials. Wood sawdust was first chemically activated using potassium hydroxide, KOH and characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms measured in Micrometrices ASAP 2020 and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). By manipulating three different parameters, the optimal activation conditions were found at temperature of 500°C, activation time of 60 min and impregnation ratio of 1:3. Results showed that the BET surface area, total pore volume and diameter of activated carbon were 1876.16 m2g-1, 0.88 cm3g-1and 6.93 nm, respectively. Nitrogen adsorption desorption isotherm analysis proved the existence of mesopores in activated carbon produced, suggesting that it can be effectively used as an adsorption material.
