Abstract

Technological developments cannot be separated from the use of energy to power electronic devices. An electronic device that acts as a store of electric charge (energy) is a capacitor. The capacitor component consists of 2 metal plates separated by a dielectric layer; each plate is given an electrode. To maximize charge storage, the electrode plate is added with materials that have a high specific surface such as activated charcoal (carbon). Activated charcoal can be obtained from the pyrolysis process of materials containing carbon, which is followed by an activation process. This research aims to make activated carbon from shrimp waste which is applied to supercapacitor electrodes. Prior to activation with KOH solution (3, 6, 9 M), the activated carbon was doped with nitrogen in the form of urea with varying mass ratios of charcoal: urea (1:3, 1:5, 1:7). The results showed that the highest capacitance value was obtained at 1:7 urea doping and concentration of activator KOH 9 M, i.e. 25 Farads.
