코코넛 껍질-전도성 고분자 복합소재로부터 탄소 소재의 제조 및 전기화학적 특성 분석 = Preparation of Hybrid Carbon from Conducting Polymer-Coconut Shell Composites and Their Electrochemical Properties

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The coconut shell, a by-product of popular tropical fruit, is a promising material due to its interesting properties. The preparation of the composite consisted of conducting polymer and coconut shell using a simple wet method, and subsequent carbonization produced a carbonized material under a controlled carbonization cycle. In addition, its electrochemical performance as an anode in lithium-ion batteries was also investigated. The appearance of the obtained materials was observed with a scanning electron microscope. The internal structure of the carbon derived from the coconut shell under a controlled heating profile was analyzed using a Raman spectroscope. A simple electrical measurement based on the ohmic relationship showed that the carbonized product has a significant electrical conductivity. The application of the carbonized product as anode in a lithium-ion battery was tested using half-cell charge/discharge experiments. This article provides important information for future research regarding the recycling of fruit shells and food waste.
