Abstract

Steel surface coating has been carried out using the immersion method in an inhibitor of cacao (Theobroma cacao) peel extract for 24, 72, 120, and 168 hours. The corrosion treatment was performed using HCl with different immersion time of 48, 96, and 144 hours after coating process with the inhibitor. Corrosion testing with the weight loss method gave the best results with the lowest corrosion rate of 0.2972 mg.cm2/hour and inhibition efficiency of 74.7128% for steel samples with the longest immersion time in inhibitor. Optical microscopy and SEM images indicated that the longer the immersion time in the inhibitor, the better (i.e., fewer holes and cracks) the surface morphology of the steel. The appearance of four sharp peaks in the XRD diffractogram indicated that the samples with the lowest corrosion rate produced Fe and C crystalline phases due to the reaction between the steel surface and the inhibitor. A quantum chemical analysis using the DFT (Density Functional Theory) method also produced a fairly high inhibition efficiency and was close to the experimental results of 80.2098%.

Abstract

Red guava fruit is one type of fruit that quickly changes colour, texture and spoilage. This is of course a problem for farmers. At harvest time, not all of the fruit is marketable. So sometimes farmers just leave the fruit on the tree, because if harvested it will only increase operational costs. The KWT Jambu Biji Bengke Sakato, VII Koto Sungai Sariak, Pariaman is a group of red guava farmers. They tried to find a solution to this problem by discussing with TIM PPM KIMIA UNAND of the Department of Chemistry, FMIPA, Universitas Andalas. Finally it was agreed that the solution was to make products from red guava. The products made in this program are dodol and red guava ice cream. The KWT members and the Tim PPM KIMIA UNAND together made these two types of products. The results obtained, dodol and ice cream made are quite delicious and have an attractive appearance. This product can be an alternative to red guava processing that has economic value.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of variations in the acceptor group of dithiophen-based type D-π-A dyes that are efficiently used as sensitizers in DSSC. The calculation uses the 16W Gaussian program with Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time Dependent-DFT (TD-DFT) methods with the B3LYP/6-31G set base. Based on the results of the study, it is known that acceptor variations can affect the shift in absorption spectrum and bandgap values. The dye AT5 is predicted to have higher efficiency to be used as a sensitizer, because it has the smallest bandgap value and has a dipole moment value, as well as a larger wavelength. The smaller the bandgap value, the absorbedyu light will shift towards the red shift, and the electron excitation process will be easier. It can be concluded that dyes with cyanide formal acceptors can improve the efficiency of D-π-A type dyes as sensitizers in DSSC.
