Abstract

Renewable energy sources continue to be developed as alternative energy sources to reduce the use of fossil energy sources. One of them is a solar power plant that uses a light source from sunlight. For the public, electrical energy is useful to support work and communication activities such as using smartphones, but not many chargers are found in public places to charge smartphone batteries. It has designed and implemented a smartphone charging station to charge smartphone batteries using solar power. The smartphone battery charging on this smartphone charging station can display voltage, current, and power when charging the battery; this tool is equipped with an INA219 sensor, ATmega328 microcontroller, and solar power to make this tool look smart. The purpose of making this tool is to find out the working principle, voltage, current, and power and compare the charging time of the smartphone battery between the smartphone charging station and the manufacturer's charger. The working principle, when this tool charges the smartphone battery, the INA219 sensor receives output value data in the form of current and voltage. Furthermore, the sensor sends a signal to the ATmega328 to be converted and displayed as data on the LCD so that users can see the output value. The test results of the tool, when charging a smartphone battery using Micro USB, showed the average values of voltage, current, and power, respectively, of 11.7 volts, 0.48 amperes, and 5.98 watts. USB Type C shows the average voltage, current, and power values of 11.33 volts, 0.71 amperes, and 8.37 watts, respectively. The comparison of the duration of battery charging time on the manufacturer's Micro USB with the smartphone charging station has a difference of 27 minutes; the comparison of the duration of the smartphone battery charging time using the manufacturer's USB Type C with the smartphone charging station has a difference of 22 minutes.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the efficiency of LPG fuel performance compared to gasoline in motorcycle engines. The research method involves a brake dynamometer test with engine speed variations of 2000 rpm, 2200 rpm, and 2500 rpm. Based on the results obtained, the exhaust gas temperature (°C) at an engine speed of 2000 rpm with gasoline is 148°C and 146°C, while with LPG, it is 107°C and 108°C. The fuel consumption rate (cc/min) at 2000 rpm is 15.8 cc/min, 16.2 cc/min with gasoline, and 9.36 cc/min with LPG. At 2200 rpm, the fuel consumption is 16.2 cc/min, 22.8 cc/min with gasoline, and 10.48 cc/min with LPG. At 2500 rpm, it is 20.2 cc/min, 19.4 cc/min with gasoline, and 14.40 cc/min with LPG. In terms of fuel consumption savings, using LPG as a fuel can significantly reduce fuel usage.

Abstract

This study investigates the electrochemical performance of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NRGO) derived from oil palm empty fruit bunches as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIB). The aim is to evaluate the potential of NRGO to enhance sodium-ion storage through cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis. The NRGO was synthesized using a modified Hummers method followed by nitrogen doping through thermal treatment under an ammonia atmosphere. Cyclic voltammetry measurements were conducted at scan rates of 0.2 mV/s, 1 mV/s, and 10 mV/s to analyze the redox behavior and charge storage capacity. At a low scan rate of 0.2 mV/s, the current response was minimal, indicating limited sodium-ion intercalation. At 1 mV/s, the current increased, suggesting enhanced ionic mobility, though no distinct redox peaks were observed, implying a primarily capacitive mechanism. At the highest scan rate of 10 mV/s, the current response increased further, but the absence of clear redox peaks persisted, indicating limited faradaic reactions. The initial CV cycles showed a higher current due to the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer and structural rearrangements, which stabilized in subsequent cycles. The overall charge storage mechanism appears to be dominated by double-layer capacitance rather than faradaic processes. These findings suggest that NRGO derived from oil palm empty fruit bunches exhibits moderate electrochemical performance as a SIB anode material. While the material demonstrates promising charge storage capabilities, further optimization is required to enhance redox activity. Future research should focus on improving synthesis conditions, such as increasing nitrogen doping levels and enhancing surface area, to achieve better electrochemical performance and make NRGO a viable candidate for sodium-ion battery applications.
