Facile synthesis of activated carbon/zinc oxide nanostructure for supercapacitor application / Hanifa Ibno

For the first time, supercapacitor has been made-up by making use of nanostructured activated carbon (Ae) doped with zinc oxide (ZnO) composite electrodes. Zinc oxide nanostructure was synthesized by the sol-gel method using conventional Hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) reagent as the reducing agen...
