This research was done on the subsurface structure of Nyelanding village hot spring, Air Gegas district, South Bangka with coordinates 2 44’54.514” South Latitude and 106 16’6.773” East Longitude using the Schlumberger geoelectricity configuration method. Measurements were made on three different tracks. The results of the Schlumberger configuration geoelectricity measurements for the three trajectories indicate the presence of granite rock distribution with resistivity values ranging from 455 – 1046 m.
A study has been carried out on supercapacitor electrodes as an electrical energy storage media based on pepper shell activated carbon. The Synthesis is done by mixing the waste carbon pepper shell with an activator HCl with a ratio of 1: 4. Furthermore, the activated carbon is activated physically by using a pyrolysis temperature of 600 0C. The SEM results indicate that carbon has a porous morphology with a pore size of 24.6 nm which is a mesoporous category. Electrochemical properties are analyzed using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The CV results at the scan rate of 1 mV/s indicate the specific capacitance value generated is 0.45 Fg-1. The results showed that pepper shell waste has the potential to be used as a supercapacitor electrode material
The by-product of pepper production in Bangka Belitung is the waste of pepper skin. This waste tends to be untapped and thrown away so that it can disrupt the environmental ecosystem. One of the efforts to utilize pepper skin waste is processing it into activated carbon as the base material for supercapacitor electrodes. The initial stage of the synthesis was carried out by a pre-carbonization process on a sample of dry and clean pepper peel waste. Furthermore, the sample is chemically activated using a chemical activator and also physical activation at a temperature of 700ºC in N2 gas flow conditions. The activated carbon resulting from the activation is then molded into electrode plates in the form of pellets with a diameter of 1 cm. The electrode plates were characterized using a scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX) to determine morphology and cyclic voltammetry (CV) to determine the specific capacitance value. SEM test results show that the electrode sample has porous morphology and CV results show that the sample activated using the KOH activator has a specific capacitance value of 15.20 F/g. These results indicate that the activated carbon synthesized from the waste of pepper peel can be used as a supercapacitor electrode material and also a solution for overcoming the negative effects of pepper skin waste.
Pepper peel waste is one of the byproducts of pepper production, especially in the Province of Bangka Belitung Islands. One of the efforts to utilize pepper peel, which is used as an activated carbon material that can be used as supercapacitor electrodes, has been carried out. Activated carbon based on pepper peel is synthesized by drying it to dry and then pre-carbonization. The next step is chemical activation using ZnCl2 and followed by physical activation at 700 °C in nitrogen flow conditions (N2) for 3 hours. Characterization of activated carbon material was carried out using SEM-EDX and BET, while the electrode performance used CV (Cyclic Voltamettry). The SEM-EDX and BET test results show that the activated carbon material has a porous structure with an average pore diameter of 2.059 nm. The CV test results were used to determine the energy storage capability with a specific capacitance value of 7.77 F/g at a scan rate of 1 mV/s.
