Activated carbon from biomass cocoa pod husks (ACC) has been synthesized using carbonization process via KOH activation with temperature ranging from 500^oC to 800 ^oC for optimization procedure. The as prepared materials were characterized and the ACC 600 ^oC sample exhibited better electrochemical properties among the prepared samples, which was used to fabricate an electrode in a symmetric device, using 2.5 KNO₃ as neutral electrolyte for supercapacitors’ applications. A sponge-like morphology, amorphous structure and presence of only micropores were observed in the carbon materials. Electrochemical properties of material carbonized at 600 ^oC (ACC 600 ^oC) were critically examined, and exhibited a fairly large specific energy of 19 Wh kg^-1with corresponding specific power of 453 W kg^-1 at 0.5 A g^-1 before voltage holding test and Coloumbic efficiency of the material still remained 100% stable after 15000 cycles. Remarkably, specific energy of the device also increased from 19 Wh kg^-1 to 30 Wh kg^-1 after subjecting the device to a voltage holding test for over 110 hours. The results suggest that cocoa pod husk could be a suitable material for synthesizing porous carbon for supercapacitors’ applications.
