Kajian Konduktivitas Listrik Zeolit Pada Perlakuan Termal 150°C, 250°C, 350 °C Dan Potensinya Sebagai Elektrode Superkapasitor

Abstrak

Zeolite based silica rice husk has been prepared and analyzed with thermal treatment 150 C, 250 C, and 350 C. This research was conducted to study the effect of thermal treatment with a variety temperature to particle size and electrical conductivity of zeolite. In thermal treatment at 350 C was obtained the smallest particle size, amounted to15,396 ?m, meanwhile the highest electrical conductivity values was obtained at 250 C,amounted to 1,5540x10-4 S/cm. This is caused by the phase structure changes and particle agglomeration. Based on the result of electrical conductivity values, zeolite is included in semiconductor and has a potential as a supercapacitor electrode.
