Herein, we reported the synthesis of a novel activated carbon derived through a cavitation process from the mixture of native European deciduous trees, Birch, Fagaceae, and Carpinus betulus (commonly known as European hornbeam), which was employed as the electrode material in SC. From the morphological and structural characterization, we observed that the prepared sample is a desirable carbon with good porosity and high specific surface area of about 614 m(2) g(-1). The electrochemical properties of the synthesized material were evaluated with a three-electrode configuration in 1.0 M H2SO4 electrolyte. It was found that in device mode, the carbon material delivers a specific capacitance of 24 F g(-1) at 0.25 A g(-1) with excellent cycling stability of over 10000 consecutive charge/discharge cycles. Thus, our studies demonstrate the facile synthesis of biomass-derived carbon and its application as a versatile electrode material for SC applications.</p>10aBiomass10aCarbon material10aDeciduous trees10aElectrode material10asupercapacitor1 aJain, Amrita1 aGhosh, Meena1 aKrajewski, Marcin1 aKurungot, Sreekumar1 aMichalska, Monika  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/biomass-derived-activated-carbon-material-native-european-deciduous-trees-inexpensive-and
