This research transforms agricultural waste into biochar-based activated carbon for batteries and supercapacitors. By replacing costly materials, it improves energy storage performance while reducing costs, offering a sustainable and affordable solution that turns waste into valuable resources for future energy technologies.

This project develops an odor-absorbing, environmentally friendly garbage bin made from clay, beeswax, and activated carbon. The porous carbon layer captures unpleasant smells, slowing detectable decomposition compared to standard bins. Future work will test waste-derived additives and create new sustainable containers to promote selective waste collection and environmental awareness.
