This study aims to synthesize bismuth oxide/activated carbon composites composed of rice husks for battery anodes and to determine the effect of bismuth nitrate pentahydrate mole variations on the characteristics of the resulting composites. The bismuth oxide/activated carbon composite synthesis was carried out using bismuth nitrate pentahydrate, sodium sulfate, and sodium hydroxide precursors which were mixed with rice husk-based activated carbon. A variation was made for the mole of bismuth nitrate pentahydrate used, while the compositions of activated carbon and other precursors were made fixed. The composites were synthesized using the hydrothermal method at a temperature of 110 0 C for 5 hours. The results showed that bismuth oxide was successfully formed as a composite in the 8 mmol variation with a composite electrical conductivity value of 2.40 x 10 -3 S.m -1 .
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.
