Abstract

The preparation of reduced graphene oxide composite electrodes from palm shells (rGOCKS-ZnO) as a chemical oxygen demand (COD) sensor by photoelectrocatalysis has been successfully carried out. The preparation of rGOPS - ZnO electrodes by thermal reduction method and modified Hummer. The XRD results showed several peaks of rGOCKS - ZnO namely 23.287 º, 26.781 °, 29.889 °, 32.468 °, 35.109 °, 37.14 °, 39.822 °, 43.559 °, 47.927 °, and 48.537 °. SEM-EDX analysis reveals the surface of graphene sheets containing aggregates in the shape of small particles attached to graphene sheets. The results of the EDX analysis consisted of C 67.82 %, O. 19.2 %, Zn. 7.85 % and 5.13 % impurity. The CV and LSV tests showed that the rGOAK - ZnO electrode with a variation of 1 gram: 0.3 gram had a good response to the oxidation process under visible light. The profile tests of these organic dyes (methylene blue) in concentrations of 0.5 ppm, 1.0 ppm, 2.0 ppm, and 3.0 ppm were applied by Multi Pulse Amperometry (MPA). The performance of the rGOPS - ZnO electrode has been in determining the value of COD by photo electrocatalytic good sensitivity, linearity, limit of detection, repeatability, and service life. The COD value was determined using the rGOPS - ZnO electrode and obtained 2.97897 mg/LO2 close to the theoretical value.

Abstract

The silver nanoparticles (NPP) are synthesized with the chemical reduction method by using a water extract bioreductor of gandaria seed (Bouea macrophylla G.) which acts as a reducing precursor, in this case, AgNO3 Ag+ is reduced to AgO. The concentration of AgNO3 is made between 0.5 mm and 1 mm. The characteristic of NPP is unstable, so a modification is needed with and without the addition of PVA 1 %. The process of NPP shaping is monitored by observing the uptaken of UV - Vis when the color changes occur. The high NPP concentration of AgNO3 has higher absorbance and is wider if compared to the lower AgNO3 concentration. The result of this research based on the absorbance value and the wavelength showed the NPP synthesized without the addition of PVA 1 % (b/v) is wider. The addition of PVA 1 % (b/v) provides better stability and maintains the absorbance of spectrum changes from day to day. The maximum uptaken of UV-Vis from NPP AgNO3 0.5 mm by using green synthesis and 1 mm without adding PVA are 0.946 and 0.980, respectively. However, NPP with the addition of PVA has 0.968 and 0.978 absorbance. The best concentration of NPP produced was 1 mm AgNO3.

Abstract

Cleome viscosa L. has been used empirically by people on the island to treat diseases that have clinical symptoms such as malaria (fever, sweating, chills, and muscle aches). The purpose of this study was to determine the class of secondary metabolites and antioxidant activity. The extraction was carried out using the maceration method, while the fractionation was carried out using the separating funnel. The secondary metabolites found in the Cleome viscosa L. plant extract are alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, tannins, and saponins. Antioxidant test conducted by DPPH method showed that the positive control of ascorbic acid and methanol extract obtained IC50 values of 3.86 ppm and 37.4 ppm, respectively.
