摘要

A cost-effective and sustainable coriander powder-derived activated carbon (CPAC) was synthesized directly from coriander powder using potassium carbonate without pre-carbonization. Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were supported on this bio-derived CPAC matrix using a simple impregnation method to enhance the specific capacitance and catalytic performance, such as nitrophenol to aminophenol. The synthesized material was systematically characterized through FTIR, Raman, XRD, SEM, and SEM–EDX. The resulting CPAC@CuO nanocomposite exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, delivering a specific capacitance of 1241 F/g at 1.5 A/g in 3 M KOH electrolyte. The electrode upheld 61.7% capacitance retention after 5000 charge–discharge cycles with a coulombic efficiency of 99.7%, indicating superior cycle stability.
