Activated carbon (AC) was synthesized from papaya and Coccinia grandis leaves (PL-AC and CL-AC, respectively) which are nitrogen-rich precursors and their electrochemical properties were investigated. The synthesis process included carbonization at 400 °C, impurity removal by H 2 SO 4 cleaning, and...
