Abstract

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are abundant in the structure of graphene oxide (GO), often known as graphene. In this study, petung bamboo was used in the manufacture of graphene oxide. The aim of this research is to find out how the sintering temperature influences the ability of graphene oxide to absorb waves. The modified hummer method is used to oxidize graphite and produce Graphene Oxide. This research was divided into several parts, namely burning carbonized petung bamboo, production of graphene oxide, and sonication and neutralization of graphene oxide using sintering temperatures of 300°C, 350°C, 400°C and 450°C. The synthesis results were characterized using a UV-Vis spectrometer to obtain an absorption spectrum resulting in a band gap of 2.68 eV-4.38 eV in Petung bamboo at a sintering temperature of 300oC - 400oC, the bandgap increasing as the sintering temperature increased. At a sintering temperature of 400oC - 450oC the band gap value decreases which is influenced by the results of cell changes from refinement which can change the band structure thereby affecting the size of the band gap. The absorption value obtained in the optical properties decreases because the high sintering temperature causes the reaction rate to become faster so that the absorption value becomes lower.

Abstract

Global warming causes temperatures on the earth's surface to increase. High temperatures during the day will make the temperature in the room of the residential house increase. The impact will affect the warmth of residents. One of the causes of the increase in indoor temperature is due to the absorption of solar heat by the components of the walls and roof. One alternative that can be done is the manufacture of composite panels that act as heat insulators using bagasse fibers, bagasse powder and the matrix of polypropylene plastic waste with low thermal conductivity, and high porosity. The composition of the composite varies the percentage of fibers and powders with a fixed percentage of polypropylene plastic waste of 90%. The percentage variation of polypropylene plastic waste of bagasse fiber and powder used is 100%:0%:0%, 90%:10%:0%, 90%:8%:2%, 90%:6%:4%, 90%:4%:6%, 90%:2%:8%, and 90%:0%:10%. Based on the test results, successive thermal conductivity values were 0.226715 W/moC, 0.16241 W/moC, 0.13543 W/moC, 0.09582 W/moC, 0.11457 W/moC, 0.15351 W/moC, 0.18276 W/moC. The porosity values of successive samples were 0.63116%, 2.84024%, 3.36151%, 3.85179%, 3.24880%, 3.09383%, 2.65145%. From the test results, it was obtained that variation 4 had the highest thermal conductivity value with a value of 0.09582 W / moC. while the highest porosity value was obtained in variation 4 with a value of 3.85179%. Composite panels with a variation of 4, and a variation of 5 are optimum variations that can be used as a good heat insulation material.
