The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to develop a novel plasma activation to efficiently create nanostructured porous biochar suitable for supercapacitors.
Proposed project activities would include clarification of plasma reactions, characterization of activated biochar, optimization of plasma activation, and fabrication and testing of supercapacitors. These activities would be completed in a dedicated lab facility on campus at SDSU in Brookings, SD.
