These materials differ in their general structure, porosity and morphology. Fullerenes display a crystalline structure, whereas hemp fibers, Super-P and hair are amorphous in nature. Of all materials, AC obtained from hair recorded the highest specific capacity after 50 cycles at 103 mAh g⁻¹ with a Coulombic efficiency of ∼90 % at a current rate of 50 mA g⁻¹. Both hemp fibers and Super-P achieved their highest specific capacities at 56 mAh g⁻¹ and 84 mAh g⁻¹ respectively. CFEx recorded its highest capacity at 78 mAh g⁻¹ and maintained it for 50 cycles. The cells were charged and discharged to 2.45 V and 0.2 V respectively.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:43:46 AEDT ]]>
