However, the full promises of this material for energy storage devices have not been duly studied. In this research, PKS is physically activated and the effect of particle size on the physical characteristics of the activated char was investigated. Pellet (3 mm), granules (0.4 mm), and powder (0.0075 mm) are the sizes considered in the experiment. The surface morphology, surface area, porosity and functional group at different sized was analyzed. Finally, a suitable particle size was recommended for the electrode material of supercapacitor based on the physical characteristics of the activated carbon. © 2020 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland. date: 2020 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85083392992&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fKEM.833.129&partnerID=40&md5=d234d10b2b1f3fe8fbf80a6494282456 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.833.129 full_text_status: none publication: Key Engineering Materials volume: 833 KE pagerange: 129-133 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783035715064 issn: 10139826 citation: Ayinla, R.T. and John, O.D. and Hasnah, B.T.M.Z. and Fahad, U. and Asfand, Y.
