Pengaruh Variasi Suhu Karbonisasi Terhadap Elektroda Karbon Dari Biomassa Pelepah Salak Untuk Aplikasi Superkapasitor
Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that have many advantages, including
quick charging and an unlimited lifespan. This research aims to determine the
potential of snake fruit midrib biomass (PS) as a precursor material for making
carbon electrodes for supercapacitor cell application. Carbon electrodes were
made from snake fruit midrib biomass using a pre-carbonization process at 200°C
for 1 hour, chemical activation with 0.1 M KOH as an activating agent, a
carbonization process with temperature variations of 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, and
750°C using N2 gas, and a physical activation process at 800°C with CO2 gas. The
sample mass experienced a mass shrinkage of 21.5%. Thermogravimetric analysis
shows the thermal resistance temperature of carbon powder is 317.1 ˚C. The
density values of the samples PS-500, PS-600, PS 700, and PS-750 were 0.862
g/cm3, 0.759 g/cm3, 0.747 g/cm3, and 0,953 g/cm3. Microstructure analysis found
that carbon electrode is semi-crystalline marked by peaks (002) and (100) at 2
angles around 22˚ and 44˚. Specific capacitance values were determined using the
cyclic voltammetry method for PS-500, PS-600, PS-700, and samples obtained
values are 171.73 F/g, 191.04 F/g, 241.51 F/g, and 125,01 F/g. According to these
results, the best carbonization temperature for carbon electrodes made from snake
fruit midrib biomass is 700°C.
