Abstract

Photocatalytic is considered a deadlock-breaking technology for renewable energy and lowering environmental pollutants. Photocatalytic efficiency efforts are improved by activating the photocatalyst to introduce an external magnetic field. This review highlights recent breakthroughs by comparing original coffee waste, activation of coffee waste with the addition of catalysts, and manipulation of spin electrons by applying external magnets. Characterization was done with FTIR to look at chemical bonds, UV-Vis with Tauc's Relation approach to measure bandgap, and material morphology using SEM EDX. The increase in photocatalyst activation aligns with the decrease in bandgap value. The rate of decline in bandgap is in line with the rate of acceleration of hydrogen production. Adding an external magnetic increases hydrogen production up to 1.5 times greater than the original photocatalytic.

Abstract

Porous carbon derived from banana peel has been synthesized by increasing the temperature range variation from 180 oC - 270 oC. The prepared carbon was tested in an experiment using double-chamber photoelectrochemistry to see the results of hydrogen production. SEM-EDX, FTIR, and TGA analyses identified all banana peel carbons. Optical and electrochemical properties were analyzed and measured by UV-Vis, Tauc Relationship, and Pearson Absolute Electronegativity. The amount of hydrogen gas produced from the simulation of UV-A visible light irradiation on variations of BP-240, BP-210, BP-180, and BP-Natural. The surface of BP-270 has more pores and can produce the most significant hydrogen of 1566.05 μmol·g-1. The data is compared to the weight loss percentage at a temperature of 400 oC. Generally, the degradation of the weight percentage in banana peel is up to a temperature of 900oC. This value shows that the most significant energy is needed, 1709190.45 Joules, equivalent to 1.0667 x 1025 eV. At the same time, the energy provided by UV-A is 3.099 eV, equivalent to 4.9661 x 10-19 Joule. Based on the average pores formed by the method used in this study, it explains that the temperature at BP-270 has been able to produce hydrogen in the UV-A exotherm. The increase in banana peel carbon pores increases the separation between electrons and holes and reduces the band gap distance. This study designs an efficient, cheap, and environmentally friendly photoelectrochemical system with waste materials to provide alternative energy sources by utilizing visible light energy.
