Snake fruit midrib (SFM) biomass has the potential to be used as a precursor material for making carbon electrodes because it has a high lignocellulosic content for supercapacitor applications. Carbon electrodes were made from snake fruit midrib biomass using a pre-carbonization process at 200 °C, chemical activation with 0.1 M KOH as an activating agent, a carbonization process with temperature variations of 500 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C using N 2 gas, and a physical activation process at 800 °C with CO 2 gas. Thermogravimetric analysis shows the thermal resistance temperature of carbon powder is 317.1 °C. Analysis of the electrochemical properties of supercapacitor cells from snake fruit midrib obtained specific capacitance values of 123.23 F/g, 169.05 F/g, and 213.27 F/g for samples SFM-500, SFM-600, and SFM-700, respectively. The results showed that 700 °C was the best carbonization temperature for carbon electrodes from snake fruit midrib.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
