    Abstract

    Chemically activated carbon extracted from rice husks is used as anode materials in lithium ion batteries. The synthesized porous carbon exhibits a low degree of graphitization and nanoporous microstructure. The activated carbon anode possesses excellent charge/discharge properties at a current density of 0.2 C and the reversible specific capacitance is 730 mA h g-1 in the first cycle. The coulombic efficiency is maintained at 99% after 3 cycles and the capacitance remains at 400 mA h g-1 after 60 cycles. © 2014 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved .
