Bio-waste based carbon electrodes for supercapacitor devices

Term: 
2023-2024 Summer
Faculty Department of Project Supervisor: 
Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences
Number of Students: 
4

Here students will get experience on how to synthesize active carbon materials from biowaste such as peanut-shell, fruit seeds, sunflower seed.
After obtaining the high porous and high surface area carbon materials as electrode, students will learn how to design supercapacitor devices via obtained electrodes and test them via potentiostat. The performance analysis of the devices will be done at last.
