A team of researchers from a government college in Thiruvananthapuram has successfully developed a groundbreaking method to produce high surface-area activated carbon suitable for supercapacitor fabrication. This method involves deriving high-surface-area activated carbon from coconut husk, which is a major agricultural residue in Kerala. The researchers under Dr Xavier TS, Department of Physics, Government College for Women, developed the unique method.
