Revolutionary Coconut Husk Supercapacitors: Kerala Researchers' Breakthrough

Researchers from Kerala's Government College for Women have developed a method to produce activated carbon from coconut husk for supercapacitors. This new technique leverages microwave technology to create cost-effective, highly efficient supercapacitors with applications in energy storage, water purification, and sensor development.

Researchers from Kerala's Government College for Women have pioneered a method to produce high surface-area activated carbon from coconut husk, transforming supercapacitor technology.

Led by Dr. Xavier T.S., the team developed this innovative approach using microwave technology. The resulting carbon shows exceptional capabilities at a fraction of the cost.

Supercapacitors made from this material are promising for sustainable energy storage and industrial applications, surpassing current technologies. The team's findings, published in Sustainable Resource Management, highlight the potential of coconut husk-derived carbon in revolutionizing energy solutions. Further, the CCIF facility supports ongoing advancements in this field.
