Green Synthesis of Biomass-Derived Activated Carbon from Wood Apple Shell for Enhanced Electrochemical Energy Storage.

ABSTRACT: In alignment with the recent sustainable development goals aimed at improving human life on Earth and minimizing carbon footprints, the utilization of natural and renewable resources for energy production presents a sustainable and forward-thinking approach to future energy needs. In this context, we report a biomass-waste-derived synthesis route for developing energy storage materials that support sustainable energy solutions. Specifically, wood apple shell (WAS), an underutilized agro-waste material, was employed as a sustainable carbon precursor for the fabrication of activated carbon electrodes suitable for electrochemical double-layer capacitors. Through chemical activation using sulfuric acid, a highly porous carbon structure was obtained. XRD analysis revealed broad (002) diffractio
