Abstract
In this study, the activated porous carbon (APC-x) was collected from Nilgiri tree peels, making it a sustainable and cost-effective green synthesis approach. The raw material undergoes carbonization and activating it using KOH as chemical activation agent. The chemical composition, crystallinity and morphology of the surface of ACP-x was examined by Fourier Transform infra-red (FTIR), X-ray diffraction and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The cyclic voltammetry technique was used to measure the electrochemical performance of APC-x using PVA/KOH gel electrolyte in two-electrode system. The highest specific capacitance value 140 F/g was obtained for APC-0 at scan rate of 10 mV/s. The use of Nilgiri tree peels as precursor for activated porous carbon production presents a sustainable approach for developing high-performance supercapacitor materials.
