A team of researchers from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology has unveiled an innovative and sustainable method to produce high-performance batteries, using taro (Kooko or brobe) peels.
The process, which is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, has the potential to revolutionize the energy storage industry.
The innovation highlighted in the journal "Energy Storage" used advanced scientific processes to convert the taro peels into activated carbon with enhanced performance.
Dr Daniel Nframah Ampong, the lead researcher and a member of the KNUST Center for Engineering Materials Research (KCEMR) group, explained their approach. "We used an environmentally friendly approach to synthesize activated carbon from taro peels.
