Abstract

Banana peel waste can be used for electrical current source. It is due to banana peel waste has various types of electrolytes, such as acetic acid (C2H4O2), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and potassium (K+) which are able to transmit ion (+) and ion (-) in electrodes. However, the use of banana peel waste as electrical energy has not been maximally utilized by the community. In this research was conducted several process in banana peel wastes become alternative electrical energy. There are four samples of various banana used in this research, they are green plantain, Palembang plantain, Muli, and Ambon. These four samples have the highest amount of consumption in community. The process of these samples become electrolyte paste were put into outworn battery with 1.5 volt as a replacement of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2) in it. The result of these research from the samples are obtained that green plantain has the highest voltage of 1.22 volt to 1.34 volt for one battery. 12 green plantain battery arranged in series produce a voltage around 12.07 volt and can be used to turn on LED light with 6 volt for four till five days.
