Gamma radiation-assisted fabrication of flexible nitrogen-doped carbon/PANI/PEBAX electrode from sugarcane bagasse for energy storage

This work presents a sustainable method for converting sugarcane bagasse (SB), an agricultural waste, into a high-performance electrode material for energy storage applications. SB was pretreated with gamma radiation to enhance its morphology and reduced crystallinity Nitrogen-doped carbon, prepared...

description This work presents a sustainable method for converting sugarcane bagasse (SB), an agricultural waste, into a high-performance electrode material for energy storage applications. SB was pretreated with gamma radiation to enhance its morphology and reduced crystallinity Nitrogen-doped carbon, prepared from melamine and pretreated SB, was used as a conductive additive by combining it with polyaniline (PANI) and incorporating into a polyether block amide (PEBAX) polymer matrix. The N-doped carbon/PANI/PEBAX composite film was synthesized using 20 kGy of gamma radiation. Characterization by FTIR, XRD, and SEM confirmed successful integration and improved properties. The N-doped carbon/PANI/PEBAX composite with 3 wt % conductive additives showed the highest performance, with a specific capacitance of 3,802.68 ± 306.33 mF/g at 10 mV/s and excellent stability after 3,000 charge–discharge cycles. Radiation-induced crosslinking also improved mechanical durability, making the composite a promising candidate for lightweight, flexible, and durable energy storage devices such as wearable electronics.
