Enhancing the dielectric properties of activated bamboo charcoal under the exposure of DC glow discharge plasma

Abstract The capability of energy storage capacity to be determined by the surface properties of the material and the surface properties of the material enhanced by the exposure of DC glow discharge Plasma. The Bamboo Charcoal (BCC) was synthesized and activated by Pyrolysis process. The Activated BCC was exposed to DC glow discharge Plasma with an applied potential of 450 V DC to enhance the surface properties. The XRD, FTIR and SEM were utilized to characterize the crystalline nature and surface properties of Plasma treated and untreated BCC. The dielectric properties of the samples were analysed at room temperature. The results report that the Plasma treated BCC dielectric properties was enhanced in the audio frequency range.
