In this present study, the black liquor carbonization has been investigated by hydrothermal process. The activated carbon from the carbonization of black liquor (AC-BL) and biomass based activated carbon from citrus sinensis avedos (AC-OP) has been investigated for the suitability in supercapacitor application. The study have analysed in electrochemical measurement of both AC-BL and AC-OP in electrochemical station. The role of stable hydroxyl molecules on the surface of carbon material has been observed and its effective conductivity is studied. The superior performance of AC-OP derived nano porous carbon has fast ionic and electronic diffusion of the electrolyte in and out of the pores during charging and discharging due to high surface area. AC-BL exhibited with an EDLC mechanism, but AC-OP shows the pseudo capacitance property. The porous structure and oxygen doping characteristics in AC-BL can in uence the potential electrode material for applications in the eld of supercapacitors. With the help of this movement, electronic conductivity of the AC-BL has been increased. In general, electrochemical stability of the EDLC is far better than pseudo capacitor. From the EIS analysis, ESR value is very small for AC-BL (60 Ω), when compared to AC-OP (155 Ω). To conclude that the EIS results of low conductivity by AC-BL has potential to be future supercapacitor with enhanced treatment in carbonization techniques.
