Simple ecofriendly activation process of carbon obtained from coconut shell-based waste was used for the fabrication of non-volatile high performance supercapacitors.
The counter electrode plays major role in achieving of maximum performance in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A mixture of jack-fruit latex and activated charcoal is used for the first time in DSSCs as counter electrode material. Maximum short-circuit photo-performances of 3.2 mAcm-2was achieved for the TiO2|mercurochrome|(I-/I3-) solar cells at optimal amount of binder percentage of 15% of jackfruit latex, under AM 1.5 conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
