Biomass as activated carbon precursor and potential in supercapacitor applications

The continuous demand for energy coupled with environmental protection and depletion of fossil fuel has accelerated the research on electrochemical energy storage, including the supercapacitor. In context of the electrode development, activated carbon notably from biomass sources has received the ut...
