Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15) is an interesting mesoporous silica material with highly ordered nanopores and a large surface area. Due to its unique properties, this material has been widely employed in many areas. This study aimed to predict the number of nanopores per gram of SBA-15 material based on an optimum value of surfactant addition at the desired number of nanopores. For this purpose, SBA-15 was synthesized via a sol-gel process using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS, Si(OC2H5)4) as a precursor and pluronic P123 triblock copolymer surfactant (EO20PO70EO20, EO = ethylene oxide, PO = propylene oxide) as a template. There were five different surfactant concentrations, namely 0.35, 2.50, 2.70, 3.00, and 3.30 millimoles, used with a fixed concentration of TEOS. The characterization was performed using small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), adsorption-desorption (BET), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the surfactant concentration did not affect the crystal structure, although an increase in the surfactant concentration linearly correlated with an increase in the surface area. The shape and size of the pore diameter tends to be approximately 3 nm, as characterized using BET adsorption-desorption. The optimum concentration of surfactant for the formation of mesoporous SBA-15 material was 2.70 millimoles. The value obtained in this study was in accordance with the calculated value, indicating that the theoretical calculations can be used to experimentally predict the number of pores.

Nanostruktur TiO2 sebagai semikonduktor memiliki sifat-sifat unggul yang menjadikannya menarik untuk diteliti dan dikembangkan hingga sekarang. Sintesis dari nanostruktur TiO2 telah dilakukan pada penelitian ini dengan teknik presipitasi menggunakan prekursor TiOSO4.xH2O dan template kombinasi surfaktan P123 dan CTAB. Variabel yang diteliti berupa jenis pelarut yang digunakan untuk membuat larutan precursor (air dan ethanol), perlakuan hidrotermal, dan temperatur kalsinasi (200 dan 400 oC) yang bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi pengaruhnya terhadap kristalinitas fasa dan ukuran kristalit dari nanostruktur TiO2 yang dihasilkan. Karakterisasi dilakukan menggunakan XRD, TEM, dan UV-Vis. Hasil yang didapatkan menunjukkan parameter terbaik dalam sintesis nanostruktur TiO2 adalah dengan menggunakan pelarut air suling dalam pembuatan larutan prekursor, perlakuan hidrotermal untuk metode sintesisnya, dan temperatur kalsinasi 400 oC dimana didapatkan nanostruktur TiO2 dengan fasa anatase yang memiliki ukuran kristalit mencapai 8,02 nm. Hasil nanostruktur yang diperoleh ini menjanjikan untuk dipakai dalam aplikasi sel surya tersensitasi zat pewarna dan fotokatalisis.

ABSTRACT
TiO2 nanostructure as semiconductor has distinguished properties that makes this material attractive to be studied and developed up until now. In this study, synthesize of TiO2 nanostructure was carried out by precipitation technique, using TiOSO4.xH2O as precursor and combination of P123 and CTAB surfactant as template. Variables investigated were solvent for preparing precursor solution (distilled water and ethanol), hydrothermal treatment, and calcination temperature (200 and 400 oC), which were aimed to investigate their effects of phase cristallinity and crystallite size of TiO2 nanostructure. Characterizations were performed by using XRD, TEM, and FTIR. The results showed that the best parameters in synthesizing TiO2 nanostructure are by using distilled water as solvent for preparing precursor solution, hydrothermal treatment for the synthesize method, and calcination temperature of 400 oC which successfully obtained nanostructure TiO2 with anatase phase and its crystallite size reached 8,02 nm. The obtained TiO2 nanostructure promises to be used in dye sensitized solar cell and photocatalytic applications.
