"Combustion synthesis, or more specifically self-propagating high temperature synthesis, is an efficient manufacturing process that is used for a variety of advanced materials including powders, near-net shape products and functionally graded materials. This project investigated the combustion synthesis of one nonstoichiometric titanium carbide system with the aim to produce high surface-area porous materials. The system investigated was the (1+x)Ti + C system where x = 1.4, x = 1.6 and x = 1.7 and were successful SHS reactions. The combusted samples produced from the x = 1.4 system were qualitatively analysed with Scanning Electron Microscopy, showing porosity variation in the distance from the ignition point. X-Ray Powder Diffraction was performed on one of the samples and shows similar composition yet differing crystal structures to some comparable TiCx compounds. Velocity Profiles were taken to determine that the reaction wavefront begins in the middle of the sample and after ignition travels more rapidly on the outside. 500W of power is required to heat the Tungsten filament to the temperature required to initiate propagation of the reaction. The x = 1.6 and x = 1.7 velocity profiles were analysed and it was concluded that the x = 1.6 reaction wavefront is faster than the x = 1.7 reaction wavefront."

"Masalah iklim yang ditimbulkan bahan bakar fosil membuat transisi ke sumber energi terbarukan semakin penting, salah satu bentuknya adalah penggunaan baterai Li-ion. Saat ini, kendaraan listrik menjadi pendorong terkuat untuk pengembangan baterai Li-ion, khususnya katoda LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC) yang memiliki kandungan Kobalt lebih rendah dari LiCoO2 (LCO). Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan performa katoda NMC, terutama kapasitas spesifiknya adalah dengan pemilihan material pengikat. Saat ini, pengikat organik Poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) telah umum digunakan sebagai pengikat. Akan tetapi, pengikat PVDF memiliki beberapa kekurangan, sehingga dilakukan penelitian menggunakan pengikat berbasis air, yaitu Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) dan Sodium Alginate (SA) sebagai pengganti alternatif. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan karakterisasi dengan Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) dan X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) untuk mengetahui karakteristik katoda, serta dilakukan pengujian performa elektrokimia baterai dengan Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Cyclic Voltammetry(CV), dan Charge-Discharge (CD). Hasil yang didapat adalah baterai dengan kapasitas spesifik yang paling besar dimiliki oleh sampel yang menggunakan material pengikat PVDF, yaitu 137,25 mAh/g. Kapasitas spesifik sampel yang menggunakan material pengikat CMC-SBR dan SA masing-masing sebesar 40,75 mAh/g dan 12,38 mAh/g. Material pengikat berbasis air memberikan keuntungan dalam beberapa aspek, tetapi secara keseluruhan belum dapat menggantikan peran PVDF sebagai material pengikat katoda NMC 622.

The climate problem caused by fossil fuels make a transition toward renewable energy sources more critical, one of the form of renewable energy is Li-ion battery. Currently, electric vehicles are the main drive for the development of Li-ion batteries, especially the LiNi0,6Mn0,2Co0,2O2 (NMC 622) cathode which has a lower Cobalt content than LiCoO2 (LCO). One of the effort to improve the performance of NMC cathode, especially the specific capacity, is by choosing a binder material. At the moment, Poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) organic binder has been commonly used as a binder. However, PVDF binders have drawbacks, so current research was carried out using water-based binders, namely Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) and Sodium Alginate (SA) as an alternative. In this study, characterization was done using Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) to determine the characteristics of the cathode, as well as assess the electrochemical performance of the battery using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), and Charge-Discharge (CD). Based on the results, battery with the largest specific capacity was owned by the sample using PVDF, with specific capacity of 137,25 mAh/g. Whereas, samples using CMC-SBR and SA have specific capacity of 40,75 mAh/g and 12,38 mAh/g, respectively. Water-based binder materials provide advantages in several aspects, but overall they cannot yet replace the role of PVDF as a binder material for the NMC 622 cathode."
