Pembuatan Dan Karakterisasi Elektroda Karbon Superkapasitor Berbahan Dasar Asam Kandis
Energy storage device using electrodes derived from biomass is an interesting field due toits potential for replacing commercial activated carbons by lowering the production costs without compromising its performance.This research used Garcinia xanthochymus as based material to produce carbon electrodes at various carbonization temperatures of 700oC, 800oC and 900oC. The structure, morphology and elemental contents of activated carbon from Garcinia Xanthochymus were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Dispersive Energy (EDX), respectively. The electrochemical performance of carbon electrodes was evaluated using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Galvanostatic Charge-Discharge methods (GCD).XRD characterization shows that activated carbon is amorf. SEM-EDX characterization shows that activated carbon morphology is dominated by nanofibers and the highest carbon content is 94.7719%. Furthermore,according to the result, the activation temperature of 800oC (GX 800) is the optimum temperature for producing electrode for supercapacitor with specific capacitance, specific energy, power density and resistance of 212 F/g, 12,2 Wh/kg, 107,6 W/kg and 84 Ω, respectively. This research shows that the Garcinia Xanthochymus have the potential to be applied as the material source for carbon electrodes of supercapacitors.
