Analisis Pembuatan Elektroda Karbon Aktif Lidi Sawit Berdasarkan Pengaruh Waktu Tahan Aktivasi Fisika Untuk Aplikasi Pengemasan Sel Superkapasitor
Biomass materials have the potential to be developed as a high-quality source of porous carbon for use in supercapacitor cell electrode packaging components. This study utilized palm frond (PF) waste, which has unique characteristics supporting its application in energy storage media. The preparation of PF waste involved a series of simple processes, including drying, particle size reduction, and pyrolysis, which significantly influenced the material's characteristics. A 1 M ZnCl₂ chemical activating agent was used in this study to explore the potential of pure biomass waste as a new renewable and sustainable energy source. The research focused on examining the effect of different physical activation holding times (0; 1.5; 2; and 2.5 hours) in a CO₂ gas environment. Among the samples, PF-2 exhibited the best results, featuring a nanosphere-like morphology that facilitated ion transport pathways and reduced diffusion barriers, thereby enhancing electrochemical performance. The material achieved high-purity carbon (C) with the presence of boron (B) and oxygen (O) heteroatoms as natural dopants, which improved its wettability and conductivity. It demonstrated a specific surface area of 687.248 m²/g. The supercapacitor exhibited a maximum capacitance of 405.74 F/g, with energy and power densities measured at 145 W/kg and 40.6 Wh/kg, respectively. Overall, this study highlights the influence of physical activation retention time and the potential of palm frond-derived carbon materials in the development of high-performance supercapacitor cell packaging.
Keywords: palm frond, activated carbon, retention time variation, natural doping, supercapacitor cell packaging.
