Abstract

Science literacy is included in one of the science skills that children should possess and is part of the national literacy movement to increase low literacy among children. Especially on the island of Sumba, it is known that the scientific literacy of children has not increased significantly. Scientific literacy assistance activities have been carried out in Lombu Village, Wewewa Tengah District, Southwest Sumba Regency. The participants of the activity were the children of the Lombu Village, totaling 44 people. The purpose of this assistance is to increase children's understanding of literacy in the Lombu village. The implementation method of this activity consists of several stages including: (1) analysis of needs and potential in the village, (2) interviews with village officials, (3) mapping of literacy program activities , (4) implementation of scientific literacy activities, (5) evaluation of the program and follow-up plan in the Lombu village. The results of the study of this activity show that there is a greater understanding of science through practice with children in Lombu village, especially capillarity science, floating eggs and magic powder.

Abstract

This study synthesized Ni-doped ZnO (Ni0.05Zn0.95O) and TiO2 (Ni0.05Ti0.95O2) via immersion-assisted coprecipitation for hydrogen production. UV-Vis confirmed bandgap reduction to 2.87 eV (ZnO) and 2.82 eV (TiO2), enabling visible light activity. XRD and SEM verified Ni incorporation and a significant reduction in crystal size (to 21 nm). To mitigate rapid particle sedimentation (25 min), sodium silicate was applied as a dispersant, successfully extending suspension stability to 4 hours. Notably, this chemical stabilization maintained a lower reactor temperature (49°C) compared to mechanical stirring (52°C), preventing efficiency loss due to thermal effects. Ni0.05Zn0.95O exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity, attributed to its superior Ni atomic composition. This research demonstrates that combining Ni-doping with chemical dispersion effectively optimizes both the electronic and physical properties of photocatalysts for enhanced hydrogen harvesting.
