“…As a result, the obtained energy density value is quite comparable with those of many previously reported biomass-derived carbon-based materials. [39][40][41][42][43][44] To establish a practical device, the GPAC-based three cells were connected in series and the corresponding electrochemical behavior was tested. As shown in Fig.…”

“…From the same carbon precursor, Syarif and Pardede [90] developed porous carbon through hydrothermal treatment followed by microwave pyrolysis, the carbon has a shining bead chain and waffle structures with cavities, the capacitance obtained in aqueous electrolyte (H 2 SO 4 ) was 0.0218 F g −1 , no conductive and activating agent was added, and the capacitance increased 10 times when graphite was added to the carbon in the ratio of 3 : 7. Carbon sheets (Figure 3(c)) were produced by Wu and coworkers [49] through acid (HCl) treatment and pyrolytic carbonization and KOH activation of water hyacinth biomass. Micropores and mesopores were developed which in electrochemical testing achieved specific capacity of 273 F g −1 at current density of 1 A g −1 .…”

Environmental concerns and energy security uncertainties associated with fossil fuels have driven the world to shift to renewable energy sources. However, most renewable energy sources with exception of hydropower are intermittent in nature and thus need storage systems. Amongst various storage systems, supercapacitors are the promising candidates for energy storage not only in renewable energies but also in hybrid vehicles and portable devices due to their high power density. Supercapacitor electrodes are almost invariably made of carbon derived from biomass. Several reviews had been focused on general carbon materials for supercapacitor electrode. This review is focused on understanding the extent to which different types of biomasses have been used as porous carbon materials for supercapacitor electrodes. It also details hydrothermal microwave assisted, ionothermal, and molten salts carbonization as techniques of synthesizing activated carbon from biomasses as well as their characteristics and their impacts on electrochemical performance.

Owing to our inevitable energy necessity, alternate energy resources have to be implemented in our energy storage systems to enervate the energy demands. On the consideration of the above statement, activated high surface area three‐dimensional (3D) nanoporous carbon derived from the orange peel bio‐waste has been studied for symmetric flexible and bendable solid state supercapacitor (SSC) with high energy density. The nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms revealed that the activated nano‐porous carbon exhibits a high specific surface area and average pore volume of 2160 m2/g and 0.779 cc/g with the uniform meso and microporous network. The fabricated symmetric cell using the activated porous carbon in aqueous electrolyte exhibits a high specific capacitance of 460 F/g at 1 A/g with an excellent electrochemical stability of 98% for 10000 cycles and virtuous rate performance at higher current densities. The fabricated aqueous symmetric device exhibits a high energy density and power density of 12 Wh/kg and 32.8 kW/kg, respectively. Similarly, the symmetric device in ionic liquid electrolyte shows a high cell voltage of 3 V and high energy and power density of 43 Wh/kg and 1185 W/kg, respectively. Also, fabricated all‐solid‐state flexible supercapacitor device exhibits a high energy and power density of 11.4 Wh/kg and 6.6 kW/kg, respectively. The flexible supercapacitor device was shown to light up a red light emitting diode (LED) for more than three minutes.
