Karbonisasi Dan Aktivasi Bertingkat Menggunakan Gas Co2 Dan Uap Air Untuk Pengaktifan Elektroda Karbon Superkapasitor
Carbonization and integrated physical activation processes were offered as an alternative method of production of activated carbon electrodes with relatively short time, ie ± 10.5 hours. This process was started by heating of samples at room temperature up to temperature resistant of 352oC using N2 at a rate of increasing temperature of 1oC/min. This process was continued until a maximum carbonization temperature of 600oC in N2 environment at a rate of increasing temperature of 3°C/min. The physical activation from maximum carbonization temperature up to a temperature of 900oC at a rate of increasing temperature of 10 °C/min using CO2 gas for 2 hours (C2), CO2 for 3 hours (C3), physical activation using water vapor for 2 hours (H2), water vapor for 3 hours (H3 ), as well as the combined activation using CO2 gas for 2 hours and continued by water vapor for 2 hours (C2H2). Measurement of electrochemical properties of the samples was carried out by Cyclic voltammetry methods (CV).Testing of the physical properties was performed in several methods such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Bruenuer Emmet Teller ( BET). The results for electrochemical measurement showed the specific capacitance values for each sample of C2, C3, H2, H3 and C2H2, respectively, are 89.56 F/g, 93.22 F/g, 85.00 F/g, 62.50 F/g and 72.33 F/g. XRD measurement for 2θ values in the range of 24-25o for reflecting planes of 002 and 44-47o for reflection plane of 100. EDX spectra showed the percentage of carbon was 92 %. The BET surface area for each samples consecutively are 102.72 m2/g, 90.62 m2/g, 74.30 m2/g, 121.72 m2/g and 159.16 m2/g with average pore size are in range of 1.9 nm.
