Characterization Of Activated Carbon

Abstract Pepper peel waste is one of the byproducts of pepper production, especially in the Province of Bangka Belitung Islands. One of the efforts to utilize pepper peel, which is used as an activated carbon material that can be used as supercapacitor electrodes, has been carried out. Activated carbon based on pepper peel is synthesized by drying it to dry and then pre-carbonization. The next step is chemical activation using ZnCl2 and followed by physical activation at 700 °C in nitrogen flow conditions (N2) for 3 hours. Characterization of activated carbon material was carried out using SEM-EDX and BET, while the electrode performance used CV (Cyclic Voltamettry). The SEM-EDX and BET test results show that the activated carbon material has a porous structure with an average pore diameter of 2.059 nm. The CV test results were used to determine the energy storage capability with a specific capacitance value of 7.77 F/g at a scan rate of 1 mV/s.

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.

Activated carbon monoliths (ACMs) with average pore diameters in the meso- and micropore regions were successfully produced from biomass material. ACM synthesis uses chemical activation with KOH and ZnCl<sub>2</sub> activating agents. The carbon and activating agent mass ratios were 1:1, 1:3, 1:5 and 1:7. Both activating materials produced an ACM with an average pore diameter of 3.2 nm. The specific capacitance, specific surface area, energy and power were as high as 63 F/g, 650 m<sup>2</sup>/g, and 0.23 Wh/kg for KOH and 73 F/g, and 522 m<sup>2</sup>/g, and 19 W/kg for ZnCl<sub>2</sub> activating agents, respectively.
