Leveraging <i>Saccharum officinarum</i> for an Exquisite Symmetric Supercapacitor─A Cost-Effective MnCO₃ Synthesis Approach for Energy Storage Application.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) was employed as a sustainable carbon source to synthesize three-dimensional (3D) spherical manganese carbonate (MnCO₃) microspheres, offering a green route to advanced electrode material for high-energy-density symmetric supercapacitors. Although numerous synthesis strategies and material modifications have been explored, a detailed evaluation of environmentally friendly synthesis pathways remains essential. In this study, MnCO₃ microspheres were successfully synthesized via a sugar-derived green synthesis followed by hydrothermal treatment. Owing to their distinctive morphology and tunable structure, MnCO₃ electrodes outperformed several conventional metal oxides and hydroxides. Electrochemical studies in a three-el
