Elektrod superkapasitor elektrokimia dwi-lapisan telah dihasilkan menggunakan serbuk karbon monolit teraktif (KMT) sebagai bahan pemula dan grafen sebagai bahan tambah. Elektrod telah disediakan dengan mencampurkan serbuk KMT dan grafen dengan peratus berat yang berbeza (0, 5, 10, 20 dan 40 % bt.) yang ditambah larutan polivinilidena fluoridaheksafluoropropilena (PVDF-HFP) sebagai agen perekat serta karbon hitam sebagai agen konduksian. Pencirian fizikal dijalankan ke atas elektrod dengan menggunakan kaedah pembelauan sinar-X (XRD) dan isoterma jerapan-nyahjerapan. Prestasi sel superkapasitor dengan elektrolit akueus 6 M KOH telah diuji menggunakan kaedah spektroskopi impedans elektrokimia (EIS), voltametri berkitar (CV) dan cas-discas galvanostatik (GCD). Sel superkapasitor dengan bahan tambah grafen 5 % bt. (KMT05) didapati mempunyai kapasitans tentu yang tertinggi (172 F g-1), tenaga tentu yang tertinggi (11 Wh kg-1), kuasa tentu yang tertinggi (196.13 W kg-1), masa gerak balas terendah (2 s) serta rintangan pemindahan cas terendah (2.4 Ω) berbanding sel-sel yang lain. Ini menunjukkan bahawa bahan tambah grafen 5 % bt. adalah optimum untuk meningkatkan prestasi sel. Hasil ini selaras dengan saiz mikrohablur serta luas permukaan tentu KMT05X yang lebih besar berbanding KMT tanpa bahan tambah grafen (KMT00X).
In this work, the mechanical properties of pseudowollastonite-mullite (PSW-M) composite were investigated over a range of sintering temperature. The amount of mullite was varied at different percentage 10, 20 and 30 wt.% relative to the composite content to assess the optimum amount of compressive strength. The pseudowollastonite was produced by sol gel method using calcium oxide from limestone and silica from the raw rice husk ash as a precursor. Next, pseudowollastonite and mullite was ball milled for 15 min with acetone. All different composition of PSW-M was sintered at 800 ºC, 1000 ºC, and 1150 ºC to examine the sintering effect. The phase composition of the pellet was analysed using XRD and the compression strength was measured through the universal material testing machine INSTRON 8874. It was found that, the sintering temperature had the greatest influence on the compressibility when measured over a range of mullite composition during compression test. PSW-M sample with 20 wt.% of mullite addition and sintered at temperature 1150 ºC was found to be the highest compressive strength, 30 MPa.
