The production of activated carbon from the cacao (Theobroma cacao) skin waste was investigated to be used as a super capacitor electrode. This study was conducted in order to obtain the characteristics of the activated carbon electrodes of cacao skins. Activated carbon electrodes were made by a combination of chemical and physical activation methods. Samples were pre-carbonized at 250C for 2.5 hours, whereas chemical activation was performed using KOH activators of 0.3M and 0.4M, with physical activation temperatures of 700C, and the particle size of the activated carbon used is smaller than 38 m. Then it was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the CiklicVoltammetric (CV) method, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Hence, the analysis was carried out on the specific dimensions, density and capacitance. It was found that the mass, diameter, thickness, and density of the electrodes have decreased, and the specific capacitance of the electrodes has increased along with the increase in KOH concentration from 0.3 M to 0.4 M. The specific capacitance value at a concentration of 0.3 M was 90.2 F/gr with a density of 0.850gr/cm³ and a concentration of 0.4 M was 140.2 F/gr with a density of 0.802 gr/cm³. The X-ray diffraction curve data showed that the value of Lc and the lattice distance (d₀₀₂) of C0.4 samples was smaller than the C0.3 sample. From the obtained results, the surface area of the C0.4 sample was greater than the C0.3 sample. It was clear that the chemical activation of 0.4M produces electrodes with better performance than 0.3M.

从可可（ Theobroma cacao）生产活性炭) 皮肤废物被研究用作超级电容器电极。进行这项研究是为了获得可可皮活性炭电极的特性。活性炭电极是通过化学和物理活化方法相结合的方法制成的。样品在250℃预炭化2.5小时，化学活化采用0.3M和0.4M的KOH活化剂，物理活化温度为700℃，所用活性炭粒径小于38m。然后通过X射线衍射(XRD)、Ciklic伏安法(CV)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对其进行表征。因此，对具体尺寸、密度和电容进行了分析。发现电极的质量、直径、厚度和密度都减小了，^如图3所示，0.4 M的浓度为140.2 F/gr，密度为0.802 gr/cm ³。X射线衍射曲线数据表明，C0.4样品的Lc值和晶格距离(d ₀₀₂ )均小于C0.3样品。从获得的结果来看，C0.4 样品的表面积大于 C0.3 样品。很明显，0.4M 的化学活化产生的电极性能优于 0.3M。
