The structure and properties of the carbon were tested using PSA, SEM, and XRD and the conductivity was also tested. Furthermore, obtained carbon was made into nanoparticles using High Energy Milling.

Obtained charcoal was activated using two types of chemicals, KOH and HNO3, and then was doped with Zn and Ni. Bamboo was carbonized inthe temperature range between 500oC and 600oC by pyrolysis method. Bamboo plantsused in this experiment were buluh, haur, and betung.


The objective of this research was to analyze the effect of the addition of activator and doping to the electrical conductivity and carbon characteristics for a raw material of bio-battery. An added value of bamboo charcoal that is commonly used as an energy source could be increased by the addition of activator and metal doping.
