"Grafena merupakan bahan dua dimensi dengan struktur lembaran tipis yang tersusun dari atom karbon yang membentuk ikatan sp2 dan skisi kisi kristalnya yang membentuk bentuk sarang lebah. Grafena oksida tereduksi (rGO) merupakan bahan turunan dari grafena yang masih memiliki gugus fungsi memgandung oksigen. Luas permukaan yang tinggi, konduktivitas termal dan elektrik yang tinggi, serta sifat mekanik yang baik merupakan karakteritik yang dimiliki oleh grafena oksida tereduksi yang mendukung pengaplikasiannya sebagai penyangga katalis. Pada penelitian ini, telah berhasil disintesis nanopartikel Nikel/grafena oksida tereduksi dengan metode hidrotermal in-situ menggunakan grafena oksida sebagai prekursor yang diaplikasi sebagai katalis konversi CO2 menjadi CH4. NiNPs/rGO hasil sintesis dikarakterisasi dengan menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Difraksi X-Ray (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), dan Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX). Karakterisasi spektrofotometer UV-Vis menunjukkan NiNPs/rGO memberikan serapan pada 260 nm yang menunjukkan adanya perubahan dari puncak serapan GO (230 nm). karakterisasi FTIR pada NiNPs/rGO menunjukkan penurunan absorbansi dari puncak gugus fungsi yang mengandung oksigen yang sebelumnya termasuk dalam GO, selain itu menghilangkan puncak serapan pada 1736 cm-1 (C = O) pada NiNPs/rGO juga menandakan bahwa proses reduksi GO menjadi rGO telah berhasil. Terbentuknya nanopartikel Nikel pada permukaan rGO dibuktikan dari hasil karakterisasi EDX (% massa) yang menunjukkan adanya tidak C (35,59%), O (9,87%), dan Ni (54,55%) pada permukaan NiNPs/rGO.

Graphene is a two-dimensional material with a thin sheet structure composed of carbon atoms that forms sp2 bonds and crystal lattice schemes that form honeycomb shapes. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is a derivative of graphene which still has a functional group containing oxygen. High surface area, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and good mechanical properties are the characteristics possessed by the reduced graphene oxide which supports its application as a catalyst support. In this research, it has been successfully synthesized the reduced Nickel/graphene oxide nanoparticles by in-situ hydrothermal method using graphene oxide as a precursor that is applied as a catalyst to convert CO2 to CH4. Synthesized NiNPs/rGOs were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometers, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX). The UV-Vis spectrophotometer characterization showed NiNPs/rGO gave absorption at 260 nm which showed a change from GO absorption peak (230 nm). FTIR characterization of NiNPs/rGO shows a decrease in absorbance from the peak of oxygen-containing functional groups that were previously included in GO, besides eliminating the absorption peak at 1736 cm-1 (C = O) on NiNPs/rGO also indicates that the process of reducing GO to rGO has been it works. The formation of Nickel nanoparticles on the surface of rGO is evidenced from the results of the characterization of EDX (mass%) which shows the absence of C (35.59%), O (9.87%), and Ni (54.55%) on the surface of NiNPs/rGO."

"The present study focuses on the characterization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesized from flame under an atmospheric condition. A laminar flame burner was utilized to establish a rich premixed propane/air flame at the equivalence ratio ? = 1.8–2.2. The flame was impinged on a stainless steel wire mesh coated with nickel (Ni) catalyst to grow CNTs. Distribution and yield of the CNTs on the substrate were quantified. Carbon nanotubes formed on the substrate were harvested and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The FESEM micrograph showed that the CNTs produced were in disarray. The synthesized CNTs were an average of 50–60 nm in diameter while the length of the tubes was in the order of microns. TGA analysis showed that 75% of CNTs were present in the sample and the oxidation temperature was 510°C."

"Titania nanotube (TNT)-carbon nanotube (CNT) composite had been successfully synthesized using simple mixing under acidic conditions and ultrasonic treatment. The samples were further characterized via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X–ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse re?ectance UV-vis spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The TNT–CNT composite’s ability to degrade phenol, a model of industrial waste, was tested. The effects of CNT composition and calcination temperature on the phenol degradation performance of TNT-CNT composite were investigated. The results show that the TNT-CNT composite exhibits higher photocatalytic activity than TNT or CNT alone. The crystallinity of the catalyst is not the only parameter affecting the photocatalytic activity. Rather, the specific surface area, bandgap, and morphology of the catalyst must also be considered."

ABSTRACTA utilization of a chemical waste to reprocess other waste can be considered as an environmental conservation. In this study, we investigate the capability of a composite material consisting of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) composites in degrading the 1,4-dioxane. It is widely known that 1,4-dioxane is both toxic and harmful for human and environment, thus degrading this compound is crucial. We used tetra butyl titanate (TBT) waste to synthesize titanium dioxide (TiO2) using hydrothermal method with a varied temperature of 70 0C, 400 0C, and 700 0C. The degradation level of composite material was further studied via varying the CNT concentration (0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 5%) under UV photo sources (λ = 254 nm). TEM, DRS, FT-IR, XRD and BET were used in order to characterize the as-prepared materials. The results show that TiO2 nanosheet could be successfully obtained from the hydrothermal process of TBT with crystal lattice of 17.73 nm, crystallinity of 90.3%, band gap of 3.46 eV and surface area of 20.37 m2/g. We found that the optimum condition for photocatalitic performance was acheived at CNT concentration of 1%, resulting in a degradation level of 73.5% for 90 min"

Electrochemical study through cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry on ascorbic acid was successfully accomplished on screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and SPCE modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SPCE-MWCNT) with an active surface area of 0.138 cm2 dan 0.126 cm2, respectively. The effect of scan rate and concentration of dissolved ascorbic acid in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) 0.1 M pH 7.4 on the current were studied using cyclic voltammetry, where the relationship between them was linear. Similarly, the effect of current on time when studied using chronoamperometry also resulted in a linear relationship. The SPCE and SPCE-MWCNT electrodes were oxidized at 0.2237 V and 0.2756 V, respectively, when given 10 mM ascorbic acid with the range of cyclic potential -1 V to 1 V. The reaction which occurs on both the electrode surfaces are diffusion-controlled reaction, since the relationship between the log of peak anodic current and the log of the scan rate shows linear results with both slope values approximated to 0.5, which are 0.220 and 0.222 to be exact for SPCE and SPCE-MWCNT, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) in SPCE were found to be 1.2588 mM dan 3.8145 mM, respectively, when tested using cyclic voltammetry, as well as 2.8393 mM and 8.6040 mM when tested using chronoamperometry. Meanwhile, LOD and LOQ in the SPCE-MWCNT were found to be 0.5197 mM and 1.5748 mM, respectively, when tested using cyclic voltammetry, as well as 1.1486 mM and 3.4805 mM when tested using chronoamperometry. In the chronoamperometric test using SPCE and SPCE-MWCNT, the resulting linear equations were y=0.008x+0.07774 and y=0.0091x+0.04781, respectively. These phenomena indicated that both SPCE and SPCE-MWCNT had a significant catalytic activity towards ascorbic acid oxidation."

"Pada era ini, Aluminum AC4B telah banyak diaplikasikan untuk komponen kendaraan salah satunya adalah torak. Torak berperan sebagai penekan udara masuk dan penerima tekanan hasil pembakaran pada ruang bakar dan tersambung ke bagian poros engkol.

In this era, Aluminum AC4B has widely applied to vehicle components, one of the application is piston. Piston acts in order to pressing the air and receiving the results of the combustion pressure in the combustion chamber which is connected to the crankshaft. However, there are problems such as wear and wasteful use of lubricants that must be overcome by the idea of ​​coating the piston ring and also cylinder liner using nanocomposite by varying the composition of CNT reinforcement (0%, 2%, and 4) by using cold spraying for the coating method. Dispersing treatment procedures and planetary ball mill also plays an important role before the coating process is done. Tests were carried out which micro hardness testing, metallography-SEM, EDS (mapping element), surface roughness, wear resistance, and FTIR. Data obtained from the test results that the addition of up to 2% CNT will increase hardness, wear resistance, and also can improve the efficiency of the use of lubricants."
