Synthesis Characterization and Electrochemical Studies of Biomass Derived Carbon Materials from Leaves of Madhuca longifolia and Mimusops elengi for Supercapacitor Electrode Applications

Abstract

Carbon materials have been used as potential electrode for supercapacitor applications and this present investigation focused on status of maximum biomass derived carbon precursors with or without external activation in the application of supercapacitors. newlineIt is focused on understanding the aspects of porous carbon materials derived from various newlinebiomass which are incorporated as electrodes for supercapacitors. This work highlights the newlineproduction of activated carbon from waste biomasses Madhuca longifolia and Mimusops newlineelengi and also deals about their characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RAMAN), field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and their impacts on electrochemical performance of cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge discharge analysis (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in the application of supercapacitors are reviewed.
