Popis: This paper introduces the design and fabrication of a versatile capacitor bank developed specifically for its integration within the innovative flash joule heating (FJH) technique, aimed at synthesizing graphene. The capacitor bank offers two adaptable configurations, providing options for capacitance at 180,000 µF and 68,000 µF, combined with a maximum charging capability of 400 V. This equipment facilitates the swift conversion of carbon-containing materials into graphene by harnessing transient current discharges. The proposed capacitor bank facilitates the execution of comprehensive research pertaining to graphene production from diverse carbon sources, opening an opportunity for advancing exploration within this rapidly evolving field of study in Ecuador.
