This research investigates the utilization of activated carbon synthesized from food waste biomass, specifically, peels of orange, apple, cucumber, and onion, as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitor applications. The peels were first pre-carbonized at 600 °C and then activated at 700 °C with KOH. The research involved developing a supercapacitor using the synthesized activated carbon as the electrode material and 6 M KOH as the electrolyte. The results indicated that electrodes made from orange peel, apple peel, cucumber peel, and onion peel exhibited specific capacitances of 238.5 F/g, 201.2 F/g, 236.9 F/g, and 118.9 F/g, respectively, at a current density of 1 A/g. When the current density was increased to 2 A/g, the elec-trodes maintained up to 90% of their capacitance.
