Abstract

This study presents an environmentally friendly and scalable method for synthesizing high-quality few-layer graphene (FLG) through a combination of turbulence-assisted shear exfoliation (TASE) and high shear exfoliation (HSE) techniques. By systematically varying the high-shear mixer (HSM) speed (3000–5000 rpm) and processing time (1–3 hours), we precisely controlled key material attributes, including the number of graphene layers, crystallinity, lateral size, and defect density. Optimal conditions (5000 rpm, 3 hours) resulted in FLG with ~2–3 layers, confirmed by a symmetric 2D peak with a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of ~35 cm⁻¹ and a high I2D/IG ratio (~0.6), indicating excellent structural integrity. The ID/IG ratio (~0.1) further verified the presence of minimal defects, predominantly edge vacancies rather than oxidative disruptions. Raman imaging revealed a dominance of zigzag edge chirality, while TEM and PSA analyses demonstrated control over lateral size (~396.5 nm) and particle uniformity. The application of household dishwashing liquid as a green surfactant innovatively enabled selective and pure exfoliation. This work highlights how precise modulation of shear parameters can directly influence graphene quality, paving the way for sustainable large-scale production of low-defect FLG.

Abstract

Industry produces textile liquid waste which contains dangerous compounds such as methylene blue which can damage the environment. One effective method to overcome this problem is to use a TiO2 nanocomposite-based photocatalyst modified with Graphene Oxide (GO). GO is obtained from the synthesis of coconut shells, which is a biomass waste. This research aims to synthesize and display the performance of a TiO2/Graphene Oxide composite photocatalyst from coconut shells in degrading methylene blue. The TiO2/Graphene oxide nanocomposite synthesis method begins by carbonizing coconut shells to form graphite. Carbonization removes volatile compounds and produces a rich carbon structure, which is the initial requirement for the formation of GO. Synthesis of GO from graphite using the Hummer method. Synthesis of TiO2/Graphene oxide composite using a solvothermal process with various GO mass ratios. The performance of the photocatalyst was tested for degradation using methylene blue. Analysis of the TiO2/Graphene Oxide Composite using XRD, FTIR, SEM, BET characterisation and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The results show that at GO of 15%, the composite showed the highest surface area and optimal anatase crystallinity, resulting in the best degradation efficiency (70%). Graphene Oxide is synthesized from coconut shell biomass waste. This research shows that the TiO₂–Graphene Oxide composite has high efficiency in degrading dangerous synthetic dyes from textile industry wastewater through an efficient photocatalytic mechanism. This composite application is an application of technology that contributes directly to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 6 (Clean Water and Adequate Sanitation), through the development of sustainable, efficient and environmentally friendly waste processing technology.

Abstract

Salah satu pemanfaatan limbah baglog jamur tiram yaitu dengan memanfaatkannya sebagai media dalam pengembangan cacing dan selanjutnya menghasilkan vermikompos. Produksi vermikompos ini dilakukan sebagai upaya pemanfaatan limbah yang dihasilkan dari usaha budidaya jamur tiram yang dilakukan oleh Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Riau. Tujuan pengabdian ini yaitu untuk produksi pupuk vermikompos berbasis limbah baglog jamur tiram untuk pengembangan salah satu usaha produk intelektual kampus (UPIK) di Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Riau. Vermikompos ini memiliki kelebihan karena diperkaya dengan jamur Trichoderma sp. sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan nilai jual vermikompos dan manfaatnya bagi tanaman. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian yang telah dilakukan yaitu dibangunnya rak budidaya cacing sebanyak tiga tingkatan dengan total panjang semua rak lebih kurang 30 m dengan lebar 80 cm pada pada salah satu rumah kasa di Fakultas Pertanian berukuran 3 x 3 m. Hasil inkubasi cacing pada limbah baglog telah diproduksi sebanyak 50 kg vermikompos dengan harga jual Rp 7.500,-/kg. Total pendapatan penjualan vermikompos plus Trichoderma sp. sudah mencapai Rp 375.000,-. Usaha vermikmpos ini jika terus dilakukan diharapkan dapat menjadi revenue generating bagi Univeristas Riau dalam pengembangan usaha produk intelektual kampus dibidang pertanian.

Abstract

Product diffusion of very few layers of graphene (VFLG) and its derivative (car/motorcycle polish) has been carried out by the Graphene Guard business incubator. The steps and strategies began with discussions in a discussion group forum (FGD) inviting experts in order to find the best marketing patterns. In this case the Canvas method was chosen as a marketing strategy. As a follow-up to the results of the FGD, several activities were carried out. Improvements to the system and production capacity were carried out by adding production equipment, innovating production systems and creating production automation systems. The next step was to design brand and logo activities as well as product labels. The design and manufacture of online and offline sales systems were carried out to follow up on increasing production capacity. To increase the effectiveness of marketing, promotional activities were carried out in the form of advertising, creating brochures, production videos and participating in exhibitions. The results obtained indicated that the marketing of the new intermediate product, very few layer graphene (VFLG) and its derivative products in the form of car polishes, was still experiencing diffusion problems, as evidenced by the low sales capacity. This was realized because this product was a new product and was not yet known to the public. Especially for VFLG products, the additional obstacle was that this product was an intermediate product, thus only certain groups of people need it. Evaluation steps are needed for continuous improvement in order to continue to strengthen the diffusion of this product in society.
