Abstract

NiFe2O4/SiO2/NiO magnetic was successfully synthesized using NiFe2O4, SiO2, and NiO as the core, interlayer, and shell, respectively. NiFe2O4/SiO2/NiO under UV light irradiation was used for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange dye with different pH, catalyst dose, and initial dye concentration. This composite was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDs), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and Point of Zero Charge (pHpzc). The results showed that the composite is a superparamagnetic material with a saturation magnetization value of 44.13 emu/g. It also has a band gap of 2.67 eV with a pHpzc of 6.33. The optimum conditions for photocatalytic degradation were at pH of 4; 0.50 g/L catalyst dose, and 10 mg/L initial concentration. NiFe2O4/SiO2/NiO degradation efficiency to methyl orange dye was 95.76%. The photocatalytic degradation in different concentrations follows the pseudo-first-order, where the greater the concentration, the smaller the constant rate (k). After five cycles of repeated usage, NiFe2O4/SiO2/NiO has good catalytic performance as well as efficient and favourable of a recyclable photocatalyst.

Abstract

The climate change caused by the widespread and continuous use of fossil fuels is a problem that needs to be addressed urgently. One of the solutions offered is through an energy transition towards the use of new or renewable and low-carbon fuels. Hydrogen gas as a carrier of energy is an alternative solution that has attracted the attention of researchers, due to its high combustion energy and environmental friendliness. The production of hydrogen gas using the Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (PEMWE) method is considered effective for large-scale production. This study investigates the impact of catalyst loading and various current densities on hydrogen production in the PEM water electrolysis process, utilizing the Cu2O/C catalyst. This study investigates the impact of catalyst loading and different current densities on hydrogen production in the PEM water electrolysis process, utilizing the Cu2O/C catalyst. The electrode catalytic properties were evaluated using the Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) method to determine the Electrochemical Surface Area (ECSA) and the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) method to determine the electrical conductivity. The ECSA and EIS measurements demonstrated that the best results were obtained at a higher catalyst loading of 2 mg/cm2 with an ECSA value of 0.21 m2/g and electrical conductivity of 3.04 × 10−6 S/cm. The production of hydrogen results showed that the highest hydrogen production rate was 3.75 mL/s with a catalyst loading of 2.5 mg/cm2, indicating that increasing the load could lead to a higher rate of hydrogen gas production, but this is highly dependent on the surface area utilized. Additionally, at higher current densities, the cell resistance in the electrolysis process may decrease, leading to reduced electrode efficiency for hydrogen production. Thus, the use of high currents may not always be advantageous in hydrogen production using the PEM water electrolysis method.

Abstract

This study describes the co-precipitation synthesis of magnetic bentonite-Fe3O4 for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and Congo red pigments under visible light. Bentonite-Fe3O4 composites were produced using the mass ratio of 2:1 and 1:1 for bentonite to Fe3O4, respectively. X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), BET surface area, Vibrating-Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Ultraviolet–Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV DRS) were used to characterize the materials. The bentonite-Fe3O4 (1:1) composite exhibited a greater surface area in comparison to the bentonite-Fe3O4 (2:1) composite with a measured value of 106.6 m2/g. It is a superparamagnetic material with a band gap of 2.25 eV and a saturation magnetization of 69.64 emu/g. The photocatalytic degradation of dye using bentonite-Fe3O4 (1:1) with the initial dye concentration of 25 mg/L, volume of 50 mL, catalyst dose of 0.05 g/L, addition of 3 mL H2O2, and 90 minutes of visible irradiation resulted in 94.34% and 98.45% degradation efficiency of methylene blue and Congo red dyes, respectively. The study determined that the most favorable pH for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue was pH 11, whereas the optimal pH for Congo red was found at pH 5. For methylene blue and Congo red dyes, photocatalytic degradation followed pseudo-first-order with the constant rates of 0.0356 min-1 and 0.0348 min-1, respectively. After five cycles of use in the photocatalytic process, the catalyst's degradation efficiency fell into below 5%. This research demonstrated that catalysts could be utilized in wastewater treatment technology.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize bentonite/PDA/Fe3O4@CuO composites as a catalyst for the photodegradation of Methylene blue dye. Composite characterization involves X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with X-ray Energy Dispersion Spectrometry (EDS), UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Response Surface Methodology (RSM) employs Central Composite Design (CCD) to optimize photodegradation by varying dye concentration, irradiation time, and catalyst dose. The bentonite/PDA/Fe3O4@CuO composites exhibit a saturation magnetization value of 54.82 emu/g and a band gap of 2.1 eV. The optimization revealed that concentration and dose significantly impact the photodegradation efficiency. A quadratic model is suitable for modeling the photodegradation of Methylene blue dye using bentonite/PDA/Fe3O4@CuO composites, as determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The optimal conditions for achieving maximum photodegradation efficiency were identified as a dye concentration of 10 mg/L, an exposure time of 90 min, and a catalyst dose of 1.67 g/L. Under these parameters, the photodegradation process exhibited a remarkable efficiency of 100%. The Bentonite/PDA/Fe3O4@CuO composites exhibited strong stability, efficiency, and recyclability. After six photodegradation cycles, there was a 5.18% decrease in photodegradation efficiency. Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

Methanol (MeOH) and ethanol (EtOH) are commonly used fuels in Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells (DAFC). The advantages of these two fuels are influenced by electrochemical reactions centered around the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA). In this study, Pt/C catalyst was used on the cathode and Pt-Ru/C on the anode, with catalyst loadings of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mg/cm2. The anode and cathode were characterized using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), while the conductivity properties were evaluated through Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) of the MEA in a single DAFC cell reached 0.65 V, with the highest value observed at a MeOH:EtOH volume ratio of 70:30 at concentrations of 3 M for MeOH and 2 M for EtOH. In addition to oxidation at the anode, oxygen reduction plays a significant role in the MEA performance on the cathode side. The oxygen supply to the cathode increased the power density by 52.17% at the optimal blower voltage of 5 V.

Abstract

Graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide have been widely studied as a biomass-sourced alternative to graphene for their various capabilities, e.g. as adsorbent. This publication reports the preparation of graphite (g), graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) from coconut shell (1) and sugarcane bagasse (2) using matoa leaves extract as reducing agent, characterized by XRD, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy. The X-ray diffractogram showed 2θ peaks between 22.8°–23.8° for g1, GO1, and rGO1, and between 23.6°–25.8° for g2, GO2, and rGO2. FT-IR spectra of both sets of GO and rGO showed common peaks of O–H (~3400 cm–1), C–H (~2900 cm–1), and C–OH (~1600 cm–1), while also some noticeable differences between the sets. Raman spectra of both rGO showed D peak (~1400 cm–1), G peak (~1700 cm–1), and weak 2D peaks (2700–3300 cm–1) with ID/IG of 0.93 and 0.91 for rGO1 and rGO2, respectively. The obtained g, GO, and rGO were used as adsorbent for methylene blue dye. The adsorption study involved variation in dye concentration, contact time, and amount of adsorbent. It was found that rGO performs best as adsorbent compared to GO and g, with maximum adsorption capacity of 22.308 μg/mg (rGO1) and 47.533 μg/mg (rGO2). Adsorbents prepared from sugarcane bagasse were found to perform better due to its easiness of carbonization compared to coconut shell.
