“…The XRD displays a broad peak at 25.6 Å that is associated with the (002) peak, which conforms to JCPDS Card no. 75-0444; likewise, the intense peak of GQDs is attributed to the eminent crystallinity with the graphitic structure, 47 implying that sugar cane produced GQD structures via the hydrothermal technique.…”

Sugar cane bagasse stands as a prevalent and abundant form of solid agricultural waste, making it a prime candidate for innovative utilization. Harnessing its potential, we embarked on a groundbreaking endeavor to evaluate the sustainability of a molasses-based hydrothermal process to produce graphene quantum dots (GQDs). This pioneering initiative promises remarkable environmental benefits and holds immense economic potential. Embedding crystalline GQDs in activated carbon (AC) boost electrochemical efficiency by enhancing charge-transfer and ion migration kinetics. Optical, structural, and morphological evaluations were used to confirm the formation of GQDs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation showed the size, shape, and fact that GQDs were monodispersed, and X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared determined the structure of GQDs. The electrodes with negative (AC) and positive (AC@GQDs) polarity demonstrate a considerable specific capacitance of 220 and 265 F g–1, respectively, when measured at 0.5 A g–1. Additionally, these electrodes exhibit high-rate capabilities of 165 and 230 F g–1 when measured at 5 A g–1, as determined by galvanostatic charge–discharge techniques. The supercapacitor device comprising asymmetric AC//AC@GQDs exhibits a specific capacitance of 118 F g–1. Furthermore, the asymmetric device exhibits exceptional cycling behavior, with an impressive 92% capacitance retention even after undergoing 10,000 cycles. This remarkable performance underscores the immense potential of both the negative and positive electrodes for real-world supercapacitor applications. Such findings pave the way for promising advancements in the field and offer exciting prospects for practical utilization.
