Preparation of High Specific Capacitance Material Based on Activated Carbon-Manganese Dioxide Composite Using Lemon Peel (Citrus limon) Extract for Supercapacitor Electrode

Abstract:

In this study, the high specific capacitance material based on activated carbon-manganese dioxide (AC/MnO₂) composite was prepared by an impregnation method. The MnO₂ particle was synthesized via a redox reaction between KMnO₄ and lemon peel extract as a bioreductor. The steps taken in this research were the preparation of lemon peel extract, then synthesis of MnO₂ using lemon peel extract, synthesis of AC/MnO₂ composites, and electrodes characterization using powder XRD, SEM, and CV. According to the results, the AC/MnO₂ composite electrode had a higher specific capacitance compared to the synthesized MnO₂. The powder XRD test results show that the synthesized MnO₂ consisted of α, γ, and δ polymorphs. SEM data show that the average MnO₂ particle size is 482.80 nm. The CV test results show that the highest AC/MnO₂ capacitance is 188.17 F g^-1 which was obtained at an AC/MnO₂ ratio is 1:1. This suggests that the AC/MnO₂ composite material has the potential to be used as a supercapacitor electrode material.
