Abstract

Selectively producing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from biomass-derived carbohydrates is key in valorizing renewable resources into biobased chemicals and fuels. HMF is a crucial bio-based platform chemical, but its selective production from glucose and fructose remains challenging due to side reactions and product degradation. Modified niobium(V) oxide (Nb2O5) catalysts have shown great promise owing to their intrinsic Brøntsted and Lewis acidity, thermal stability, and surface tunability. This review overviews recent advances in catalyst design, including metal doping, structural tuning, and hybridization with porous materials. These have significantly improved HMF yields -up to 80%- while enhancing catalyst selectivity and reusability. A systematic review with a descriptive-analytical approach was applied, analyzing literature from 2015 to 2025 across major scientific databases. Furthermore, challenges, including side-product formation and active site leaching, are highlighted alongside future perspectives for scalable and green HMF synthesis using Nb-based catalysts. This review aims to guide the rational development of modified Nb2O5 catalysts for efficient biomass transformation. These developments are crucial for advancing Nb-based catalytic platforms and unlocking the full potential of HMF in a circular, bio-based chemical industry.

Abstract

Kegiatan sosialisasi penggunaan workbook sebagai bahan ajar pendukung pada materi zat aditif dan adiktif dalam pembelajaran IPA dilaksanakan di SMPN 28 Mukomuko dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterlibatan siswa dalam proses belajar. Materi zat aditif dan adiktif merupakan salah satu materi yang topik pengetahuannya terlalu luas sehingga membutuhkan pendekatan pembelajaran yang konstektual dan interaktif. Melalui kegiatan ini, siswa-siswi diperkenalkan pada penggunaan workbook yang disusun secara sistematis seperti materi yang spesifik, soal evaluasi yang menarik, serta kumpulan istilah-istilah sains yang dapat digunakan peserta didik sebagai bahan ajar pendukung. Hasil dari sosialisasi menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan workbook dapat mendorong siswa untuk lebih aktif, mandiri, dan kritis dalam memahami materi. Siswa memberikan respon positif terhadap format dan isi workbook, serta menunjukkan minat yang lebih tinggi dalam mengikuti proses pembelajaran yang dibuktikan dengan adanya peningkatan pemahaman siswa terkait materi zat aditif dan adiktif berdasarkan hasil pre-test dan post-test. Kegiatan ini diharapkan menjadi langkah awal dalam penerapan media pembelajaran yang lebih efektif dan dapat menarik minat belajar peserta didik serta dapat meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran IPA di sekolah.

Abstract

Misconceptions about atomic structure and subatomic particles are a systemic issue in chemistry education, hindering the understanding of advanced concepts and limiting critical thinking. This study aims to identify common misconceptions, explore their root causes, and propose effective corrective strategies. A literature review of 20 peer-reviewed articles was conducted using thematic analysis across three main focuses. Findings reveal that deterministic views of the Bohr model, confusion over technical terms, and misinterpretation of symbolic representations are the most prevalent misconceptions. These stem from unadaptive teaching methods, cognitive limitations, and misleading visuals. Effective remedies include cognitive conflict, dynamic visualizations, and historical-metacognitive approaches to support conceptual change and deepen scientific understanding.

Abstract

Nano-MgO was synthesized via a nitrate–citrate sol–gel combustion method, in which magnesium nitrate acted as the oxidizing precursor and citric acid served simultaneously as the chelating agent and organic fuel. The formation of a homogeneous Mg–citrate coordination network enabled controlled gelation, while the auto-combustion process produced a porous MgO matrix composed of ultrafine crystallites. Calcination at 800 °C promoted phase consolidation, removal of organic residues, and enhanced long-range atomic ordering. X-ray diffraction confirmed the exclusive formation of the cubic periclase phase (fm3m), with no detectable hydroxide or carbonate impurities. Crystallite size analysis yielded an average size of 16.03 nm based on the Scherrer equation, whereas the Williamson–Hall method produced a larger value of 25.44 nm with a microstrain of 5.37 × 10-4. indicating minimal lattice distortion. The discrepancy between the two size estimates reflects the contribution of microstrain effect not considered in the Scherrer approach. Overall, the synthesized nano-MgO exhibits high crystallinity, narrow crystallite size distribution, and excellent structural stability, highlighting its potential for catalytic, gas-sensing, and high-temperature functional applications. These results demonstrate that the sol–gel combustion method is an efficient and reliable strategy for producing nanocrystalline MgO with well-controlled structural characteristics.
