Scientists found a way to turn egg and rice waste into a material that can store electricity

Researchers transformed egg and rice waste into a porous carbon material.

This material, rich in nitrogen and oxygen, shows promise for energy storage.

The developed carbon possesses a three-dimensional honeycomb structure with a high surface area.

It demonstrated effective performance when tested in a supercapacitor device.

This innovation offers a sustainable method for recycling food waste into functional materials.
