ABSTRACT

The comercial activated carbons are typicaly prepared by activation from coconut shel char or coal char contain-ing lots of inorganic impurities. They also have pore structure and pore size distribution depending on nanostructure ofremoving impurities with acid treatments, and controlling pore size distribution and contents of functional group withheat treatment. The effect of the surface functional groups on electrochemical performance of the activated carbon elec-trodes was investigated. The initial gravimetric and volumetric capacitance of coconut based activated carbon electrodewhich was acid treated by HNO3 and then heat treated at 80oC were 90 F/g and 42 F/cc respectively showing 94% ofcharge-discharge efficiency. Such a good electrochemical performance can be possibly applied to the medium capaci-tance of EDLC.
