Abstract

The integration of local culture in science learning through an ethnophysics approach can create contextual and meaningful learning experiences. However, studies specifically exploring the concept of mechanical energy in traditional games are still limited. This study aims to explore the concept of mechanical energy in the traditional Pletokan game and analyze its potential as an ethnophysics-based physics learning medium. The novelty of this research lies in the exploration of potential energy, kinetic energy, and mechanical energy concepts in the Pletokan game from an ethnophysics perspective. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with an exploratory design. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and literature studies related to the mechanism of the Pletokan game and the physical phenomena occurring during gameplay. The results showed that the Pletokan game contains concepts of potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, and energy transformation. These concepts appear during the process of air compression, projectile motion, and the emergence of the characteristic “pletok” sound. The findings indicate that the Pletokan game has the potential to be used as an ethnophysics-based physics learning medium that connects physics concepts with local culture in a contextual way. This study implies that traditional games can support innovative physics learning while preserving local cultural values.

Abstract

Abstrak Peningkatan kebutuhan energi listrik di Indonesia mendorong pengembangan teknologi energi terbarukan, termasuk Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). Penelitian ini bertujuan mensintesis dan mengkarakterisasi material TiO₂–Cu menggunakan metode green synthesis berbasis ekstrak kulit jeruk (Citrus sinensis) sebagai agen pereduksi alami. Proses sintesis meliputi preparasi ekstrak kulit jeruk, pembentukan TiO₂ nanopartikel melalui reaksi TTIP–ekstrak, komposit Cu, serta kalsinasi pada 500°C. Karakterisasi FTIR menunjukkan pita serapan khas Ti–O dan Ti–O–Ti pada rentang 426–569 cm⁻¹, serta gugus –OH dan sisa biomolekul organik yang menegaskan keberhasilan sintesis hijau. Analisis UV-Vis menghasilkan nilai band gap TiO₂ sebesar 4,1 eV, menunjukkan karakter semikonduktor anatase dengan respons optik dominan pada wilayah ultraviolet. Uji performa DSSC yang difabrikasi menggunakan komposit TiO₂–Cu dan dye alami daun ketapang menghasilkan nilai open-circuit voltage (Voc) sebesar 0,479 V, short-circuit current (Isc) 0,02 mA, dan efisiensi konversi energi 0,00426%. Hasil ini mengonfirmasi bahwa ekstrak kulit jeruk berperan sebagai bioreduktor efektif dalam pembentukan TiO₂–Cu, namun performa fotovoltaik masih rendah sehingga diperlukan optimasi lanjutan terkait morfologi, struktur pita energi, dan kompatibilitas dye. Penelitian ini menunjukkan potensi pemanfaatan limbah biomassa sebagai prekursor ramah lingkungan dalam pengembangan fotoanoda DSSC berbasis energi hijau. Kata Kunci: TiO₂–Cu, green synthesis, kulit jeruk, DSSC, fotoanoda Abstract The increasing demand for electrical energy in Indonesia highlights the need for the development of renewable technologies such as Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC). This study aims to synthesize and characterize TiO₂–Cu materials using a green synthesis approach employing orange peel extract (Citrus sinensis) as a natural reducing agent. The synthesis process involved extract preparation, TiO₂ nanoparticle formation via TTIP–extract reaction, Cu incorporation, and calcination at 500°C. FTIR characterization confirmed the formation of Ti–O and Ti–O–Ti bonding at 426–569 cm⁻¹, accompanied by –OH groups and residual organic biomolecules, indicating the successful formation of TiO₂ via a green route. UV-Vis analysis showed a band gap of 4.1 eV, consistent with anatase-type semiconductors with dominant UV absorption. DSSC performance testing using TiO₂–Cu composite photoanodes and natural ketapang leaf dye yielded an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0,479 V, a short-circuit current (Isc) of 0,02 mA, and a power conversion efficiency of 0.00426%. These results demonstrate that orange peel extract functions effectively as a bioreducing agent for TiO₂–Cu formation; however, the photovoltaic performance remains low, requiring further optimization of morphology, electronic structure, and dye compatibility. Overall, this study highlights the potential of biomass waste as an eco-friendly precursor for developing green-based DSSC photoanodes.
