About

Create a process for environmentally friendly production of graphite & Hard Carbon from Agricultural biomass residue, utilizing agricultural waste as feedstock and turn discarded material into a valuable resource stimulating local economies by creating opportunities for collection,processing, and employment in rural areas. To develop a systematic approach for the conversion of agricultural bio-waste into high-quality graphite and hard carbon materials. To optimize the pyrolysis, graphitization, and activation processes of agricultural bio-waste for enhanced material performance. To evaluate the structural, physical, and electrochemical properties of the produced carbon materials. To test the performance of the developed carbon materials in energy storage applications, including LIBs, SIBs, and supercapacitors. Identify the most suitable agricultural waste for the carbon production that can be used as electrode materials energy storage devices. Developing technology for processing agricultural waste into high-quality graphite. Evaluate the potential of the Agricultural by-products to serve as valuable resource with industrial significance.
