Source-<\/strong> This post on ‘Coconut Husk for supercapacitor fabrication<\/strong>‘ has been created based on the article ‘Carbon derived from coconut husks can power supercapacitors<\/a>‘ published in ‘The Hindu’ on 01st July 2024<\/p>\n

Why in News?<\/h2>\n

Researchers at the Government College for Women, Thiruvananthapuram, have devised a method to produce activated carbon<\/span>. This activated carbon is suitable for supercapacitor fabrication<\/span>. These activated carbon can be produced from coconut husks, which are a major agricultural residue in Kerala.<\/p>\n

What is the significance<\/h2>\n

1. Immense potential for green Solutions-<\/strong> The coconut husk biowaste-derived activated carbon holds immense promise for sustainable and efficient green solutions<\/span> for high-performance supercapacitors. This is due to their high availability, low cost, and eco-friendly nature.<\/p>\n

2. Provides a material for Super capacitor development-<\/strong> This method provides another material in the mix for the search of an ideal supercapacitor electrode material<\/span>.<\/p>\n

3. Higher efficiency-<\/strong> The prototype supercapacitors<\/span> made of coconut husk-derived activated carbon is found to be four-times more efficient than the existing supercapacitors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
