Development of new carbon-based electrode material from oil palm wastes-derived reduced graphene oxide and its capacitive performance evaluation

This paper is an expansion of our previous work on the synthesis of graphene oxides and reduced graphene oxides from different kinds of oil palm waste-based feedstocks, namely, OPL (oil palm leaf), PKS (palm kernel shell), and EFB (empty fruit bunch). Here, the electrochemical measurements of the re...
