Elektroda Karbon Dari Pelepah Kurma (Phoenix Dactylifera) Menggunakan Aktivasi Fisika Untuk Aplikasi Sel Superkapasitor
This research deals with carbon electrodes made from date palm midrib biomass by varying physical activation temperatures of 700°C, 800°C, and 900°C with sample codes PK-700, PK-800, and PK-900. Electrodes are made with several stages such as pre-carbonization, chemical activation with KOH activators, carbonization at 600 °C with N2 and physical activation with CO2 . The highest density value was found in the PK-800 sample with a large shrinkage of 33.97%. The physical characterization of carbon electrodes using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy showed a high level of carbon purity due to the presence of the -C≡C- function group. X-ray diffraction analysis produces an amorphous structure with two wide peaks at angles of 2θ angles of 23° and 44° at scattering fields (002) and (100), with the lowest La and Lc highest in PK-800 samples at 5.205 nm and 10.330 nm. Analysis of surface morphology using the Electron Scanning Microscope showed that PK-800 samples produced more mesoporous than PK-700 and PK-900 samples. X-ray Dispersion Energy analysis depicted that the PK-800 sample produced the largest percentage of carbon at 90.16%. The N2 Adsorption Isotherm analysis describes that the PK-800 sample produces a surface area of 634,345 m²g-1.Supercapacitors with different samples were tested by using Cyclic Voltammetry and Galvanostatic Charge Discharge, providing spesific capacitances between PK-700, PK-800, and PK-900. The best sample is PK-800 with the largest spesific capacitance value of 213.80 Fg-1 for Cyclic Voltammetry and 227.84 Fg-1 for Galvanostatic Charge Discharge. The devices figure out good current stabilities with energy density of 10.42 Wh Kg-1 and power density of 133.33 W Kg-1.
