Abstract

Conventional synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles often involves the use of toxic chemicals, high costs, and extreme operating conditions. This research aims to develop a cost-effective and environmentally friendly green synthesis method for TiO₂ by utilizing oil palm leaf (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Subsequently, doping with barium (Ba) was carried out to enhance the photocatalytic, optical, and electrical properties of the resulting TiO₂. Phytochemical analysis revealed that oil palm leaf extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, and tannins, which play a role in the reduction and stabilization processes of TiO₂ nanoparticles. Characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identified Ti-O bonds in pure TiO₂ at a wavenumber of 588 cm⁻¹, and a shift in absorption peaks in the range of 548-595 cm⁻¹ in Ba-doped TiO₂ indicated the formation of the barium titanate phase. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that Ba doping increased the crystallite size of TiO₂ from 1.17 nm to 1.65 nm, which may have implications for photocatalytic applications.

Abstract

MDMA is known as a narcotic and stimulant is a drug that is often abused, both in pill and powder form. Therefore, it is important to have an accurate and sensitive analysis method to detect the presence of MDMA especially in urine samples of drug users. In this work, optimization of the GC-MS method was carried out to obtain the best separation conditions and the highest sensitivity using the GCMS instrument. This study aims to develop a validation method for the analysis of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) using the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) technique. The results of the analysis showed that the accuracy, precision, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification and selectivity were respectively: 97.53%, 3.66%, R² ≥ 0.99, LOD 0.7 ppm, LOQ 2.35 ppm, and Rs 19.83. The results of the study showed that this method has good accuracy with acceptable precision values ​​and low enough LOD and LOQ to detect MDMA at appropriate concentrations. Thus, this validated GC-MS method can be effectively applied for the analysis of MDMA in various urine sample matrices, especially in the development of the field of analytical chemistry.
