In this research, the synthesis of activated carbon (AC) for supercapacitors and nanoparticles (NP) is proposed, where the corn cob of Zea mays L. acts as starting material and its extract as reducing agent, respectively. The method consists of evaluate the optimal conditions for the synthesis of NP and AC. Specifically, in the case of NP, the concentration of the precursor agent (AgNO3) and the v/v ratio of the precursor agent and the reducing agent were established as variables. The NP were analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the wavelength transmittance peaks for: hydroxyl, carbonyl, alkenes, among others, present in the reducing agent (ethanolic and aqueous extract) were evidenced. Additionally, the NP were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy to evidence the surface plasmon between 400 - 430 nm. By dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique, NP with diameters between 33.8 - 356.4 nm were obtained and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the spherical shape of the NP and the presence of some with a size smaller than 50 nm were observed. Finally, by X-ray diffraction (XRD) the characteristic peaks corresponding to the (111), (200), (220) and (311) planes of the cubic structure centered on the faces of the metallic silver were obtained. On the other hand, the AC were synthesized from the purple corn cob Zea mays L.) by activation in KOH at different concentrations (5%, 10%, 20% and 30% w/v), it was obtained carbons with different porosities that were characterized morphologically by SEM/EDS, Physisorption analysis of N2 and electrochemically. Among the different CAs, the highest capacitance was obtained from CA-10% from cyclic voltammetry (VC) in the electrolyte of 1 mol L-1 H2SO4 was 179,43 F g-1 and 1 mol L-1 KOH was 110,78 F g-1, both at a rate of 5 mV s-1. Likewise, for the same sample, by chronopotentiometry (charge-discharge curves) a maximum value of 195.25 Fg-1 at 1 mol L-1 H2SO4 and 116 Fg-1 at 1 mol L-1 KOH was obtained. By means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) the internal resistance of activated carbons at high frequencies and their capacitive behavior at low frequencies were determined. Finally, the morphology of the different macropores (> 50 nm) of the CAs was observed by FE-SEM/EDS.
