Abstract

Agricultural-waste-derived porous carbon and vegetable-waste-derived porous carbon materials have been extensively studied as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors due to their abundance and ability to be consistently reproduced. This paper focuses on utilizing eggplant waste, the primary by-product, as a precursor for producing porous carbon through the easy carbonization and activation process. The resultant porous carbon is then employed as an electrode material for supercapacitors. The Eggplant waste-derived porous carbon exhibits a notable surface area of 1095.4 m2 g1. This carbon material possesses the benefits of being cost-effective and environmentally friendly while exhibiting superior electrochemical performance in comparison to materials obtained from agricultural waste. The carbon electrode made from eggplant demonstrates an energy density of 9.19 Wh Kg"1 and a power density of 2880 W Kg-1, indicating its outstanding energy storage capacity.
