Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the electrical properties of activated carbon materials prepared from Shochu waste carbons (SWCs) by KOH single step activation (carbon: KOH solution=1:0.5,1:1,1:2,1:3,1:6,1:7,1:8)were evaluated. The performance of fabricated electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), Cole-Cole plot, and charge-discharge test under organic electrolyte. As the result, mesoporous SWCs made at 900 degree Celsius and 1:7 ratio of carbon : KOH solution contributed to the high capacitance compared to marketing samples in the sweep rate characteristics and charge-discharge test. Furthermore, this study highlights high performance and low-cost EDLCs by applying SWCs derived from abundant and inexpensive used shochu waste materials.
