The Electrical properties of nanomaterials derived from durian skin waste by using a various types of electrodes for bio-battery application

This research aimed to show on electricity from Durian skin waste nanomaterials. The compounds that abundant in Durian skin waste are phosphate compounds (PO4). This phosphate compound makes the Durian skin waste has a high and unique electrical properties. Durian skin waste was synthesized using co-precipitation method to obtain LKD nanopowder with an average crystal size of 5 nm. LKD was dried at 250 °C and then washed with 100 ml distilled water and measured the electrode with variations of Pb, Al, Zn, Fe and Cu. Obtained the electrical properties as much five times greater than before, which is an average of 6.5 Volts. It was concluded that the electrical properties of Durian skin waste will increase when the crystal size is smaller and Durian skin waste can be as bio-batteries. From electrode variations was obtained that the Zn electrode had a greater electrical voltage than the Al, Fe, Pb and Cu electrodes.
