Abstrak
Telah dilakukan analisa dimensi, densitas dan kapasitansi spesifik pada pembuatan elektroda karbon superkapasitor dari bunga rumput gajah menggunakan variasi konsentrasi aktivator KOH. Pembuatan elektroda karbon diawali dengan proses prakarbonisasi, penggilingan dengan ball milling dan diayak dengan ukuran partikel < 53 µm. Proses berikutnya dilakukan aktivasi kimia menggunakan aktivator KOH dengan variasi konsentrasi sebesar 0,3 M, 0,5 M dan 0,7 M. Pelet karbon dibuat dengan alat hydraulic press pada tekanan 8 ton. Proses karbonisasi dilakukan pada suhu 600°C pada lingkungan gas N2 dengan profil pemanasan bertingkat, dan diikuti dengan proses aktivasi fisika menggunakan gas CO2 pada suhu 850°C . Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa diameter, ketebalan dan massa setiap elektroda superkapasitor mengalami penurunan seiring dengan peningkatan konsentrasi KOH. Sedangkan densitas dan kapasitansi spesifik mengalami peningkatan dengan pertambahan konsentrasi KOH. Nilai kapasitansi spesifik tertinggi diperoleh sebesar 100,62 F/g dengan densitas 0,87 gr/cm3 pada variasi 0,7 M KOH.

Abstract
Dimensions, density and specific capacitance of carbon electrode supercapacitor from flower of elephant grass by using various KOH concentrations has been analyzed. Production of carbon electrodes was performed by pre-carbonization, grinding by ball milling and sieving to a find a particle size of < 53 µm. The following process was an activation by chemical activation using KOH by various concentrations of 0.3 M, 0.5 M and 0.7 M. Carbon pellets were produced by hydraulic press instrument at a pressure of 8 tons. Carbonization process was carried out at a temperature of 600°C in a N2 gas environment with multilevel heating profile, and followed by physical activation process by throwing CO2 gas at a temperature of 850°C. The results of this study showed that the diameter, thickness and mass of each carbon electrode supercapacitor decrease with the increasing of KOH concentrations. While the density and specific capacitance were increased with the increasing of KOH concentrations. The highest specific capacitance value was obtained as high as 100.62 F/g with a density of 0.87 g/cm3 in the variation of 0.7 M KOH.
