A potential low cost and environmentally friendly supercapacitor has been prepared from Palm Kernel Shell Biochar (PKSB). In this study, physical and electrochemical properties of raw, activated and chemical treated (potassium hydroxide (KOH)) as supercapacitors such as high carbon content, high cha...
