In this context, the SPW-Pd-Co catalyst was synthesized by the treatment of the Spirulina Platensis waste (SPW) with 1-7 M HCl, 1 mL PdCl2 solution (2% w/w) and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mL CoCl2 center dot 6H(2)O solution (5% w/w). Under optimum conditions, the most active catalyst was obtained by burning with 3 M HCl-Pd-4 mL Co2+ solution at 600 degrees C for 90 min. The maximum rate of hydrogen generation (HGR) obtained at 30 degrees C from the NaBH4 methanolysis reaction was found to be 5497.7 mLmin(-1) gcat(-1), and the catalyst activation energy was found to be 10.32 kJ mol(-1). The gravimetric capacitance of the prepared electrode was calculated as 50 F/g at 2 A/g current density. The capacitance values of the supercapacitor are at a significant level in terms of capacity and the cost.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMethanolysisHydrogenSPW-Pd-Co catalystSpirulina PlatensisSupercapacitorArticle304Q1WOS:000691263100005Q12-s2.0-8511134686610.1016/j.fuel.2021.121334
