Recycled waste paper—A new source of raw material for electric double-layer capacitors

---

a b s t r a c t
For the first time, a new carbon–carbon composite electrode material for supercapacitors is prepared by
simple KOH activation ofwaste newspaper. The amorphous nature and surface morphology of the carbon
composite are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption/desorption and scanning electron
microscopy. The surface area and pore diameter are 416m2 g−1 and 5.9 nm, respectively. Electrochemical
characteristics are evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and charge–discharge tests in 6.0M KOH at a
1mAcm−2 current density. The CV results reveal amaximumspecific capacitance of 180 F g−1 at a 2mVs−1
scan rate and the data explore a development of new use for waste paper into a valuable energy storage
material.
