This study focuses on preparing and characterizing biomass materials by utilizing rice husk biochar, with a specific emphasis on the role of particle size variation. The increasing demand for high-performance, sustainable energy storage solutions has driven the exploration of alternative source of carbonaceous materials. This research aims to address these concerns by repurposing agricultural waste, particularly rice husks, into a cost-effective, high-performance material. The objectives include fabricating electrode using rice husk biochar-derived activated carbon in perspective of characterizing their structural properties and evaluating the influence of particle size towards in this structural study. The methodology involves the chemical activation of rice husk biochar, followed by advanced characterization techniques like Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Branneur-Emmet-Teller (BET). The prepared materials highlight the potential of controlling particle size to fine-tune electrode properties for specific applications. The implications of this research indirectly extend to electric vehicles, renewable energy storage systems, and portable electronics, offering a pathway toward greener and more efficient energy storage solutions. By transforming agricultural waste into a valuable resource, this work contributes to the circular economy, reducing environmental impact while addressing critical technological challenges in energy storage development.
