Kitchen waste-derived activated carbon from Murraya koenigii seeds as an electrode material for supercapacitors (opens in new tab)

The growing demand for sustainable, high-performance energy storage systems has spurred intensive research into biomass-derived carbon materials as environmentally friendly electrode candidates for supercapacitors. In this study, Murraya koenigii (curry plant) seed powder was employed as a novel biomass precursor for the synthesis of activated carbon in the presence of ferrous chloride (FeCl2) as an activating agent (MKAC). The FeCl2-mediated activation, followed by pyrolysis at 900 °C under ...
