Abstract
In this study, cassava starch was prepared as conductive biodegradable material on zinc anode in zinc-air fuel cell system by using electrochemistry method. Successful formation of cassava layer on zinc anode was determined by its conductivity values by using four-point probe instrument and the enhancement of conductivity of anode after the deposition of cassava starch was proven. The optimization of conductivity study was further carried out in different concentrations of cassava. It was shown the increment about 30% from 0.079 to 0.105 Scm−1 of conductivity values from original conductivity of pure zinc. Moreover, SEM analysis exhibits the morphology of cassava coated on zinc plate with distinct particle structure was observed, proving the successful formation of cassava layer via electrochemical method. Hence, the discharge profile analysis highlighted the composition of C3 of CS performed best performance in ZAFC system.
