sakurajun: Coffee-derived activated carbon from second biowaste for supercapacitor applications
Coffee-derived activated carbon from second biowaste for supercapacitor applications

The electrochemical energy storage performance of
[url=www.activated-carbon-pellets.com/]bulk activated virgin carbon pellets[/url]activated carbons (ACs) obtained from coffee-derived biowastes was assessed. ACs were obtained from spent coffee ground second waste, after polyphenol extraction, by means of a hydrothermal process followed by physical or chemical activation. The resulting materials exhibited microporous structures with a total specific area between 585 and 2330 m2·g−1. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a highly porous microstructure in the case of the chemically activated carbons, while physical activation led to a cracked micro-sized morphology. The electrochemical properties of the materials for supercapacitor applications were investigated in 1 M Na2SO4. After chemical activation, the coffee-derived material displayed a capacitance of 84 F·g−1 at 1 A·g−1 in a 1.9 V voltage window, with 70% capacitance retention at 10 A·g−1 and 85% retention after 5000 cycles of continuous charge-discharge. This work demonstrates how coffee secondary biowaste can be conveniently activated to perform as electrochemical energy storage material,[url=www.powdered-activated-carbon.com/]activated carbon powder for sale[/url] contributing to its revalorization and reinsertion in a circular economy.
