Abstract:The preparation of activated carbon has long been a subject of interest for researchers aiming to develop a straightforward and environmentally friendly method. This study introduces an approach for carbonizing glucose using potassium nitrate to ignite and carbonize glucose, resulting in the production of fluffy carbon. Activated carbon suitable for supercapacitor production can be obtained through postprocessing involving calcination and pickling. An important feature of this method is that it does not requir… Show more
