Abstract

Ammonia is commonly synthesized through the Haber-Bosch process, which produces large amounts of CO2 emissions as it is carried out at extreme temperatures and pressures. An alternative technology is needed to synthesize ammonia which consumes less energy and is environmentally friendly. In this research, a Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Photoelectrochemical tandem system (DSSC-PEC) was developed for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) into ammonia. PEC cells utilized BiVO4/TiO2 Nanotube (BiVO4/TiO2NT) as a photoanode for water oxidation. BiVO4/TiO2NT was synthesized by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) with the cycles variation of 10, 15, and 20 cycles. The optimization method for 20 cycles (20s) gave the highest photocurrent of 0.352 mA/cm2. As a cathode where the nitrogen reduction reaction to ammonia takes place, Ti3+/TiO2NT was used. DSSC based on TiO2NT/N719 with an efficiency of 1.13% was used as an energy booster in the reaction. Using this system with an electrodes area of 3 cm2, under visible light irradiation on photoanode and DSSC while dark at the cathode, the rate of ammonia production, analyzed using the phenate method was 0.022 µmol.h−1.cm−2 with solar to chemical conversion (SCC) efficiency of 0.003%.

Abstract

Sansevieria trifasciata (mother-in-law's tongue), an ornamental plant widely found in Indonesia, can absorb electromagnetic radiation in various electronic devices. This study aims to find the best S. trifasciata extract as an electromagnetic and thermal radiation reducer emitted from a smartphone. S. trifasciata leaves were macerated using ethanol, acetone, and dichloromethane. The extract was mixed with PVA as a film and tested for electromagnetic radiation using a radiation measuring device type GM-3120. Thermal radiation was tested using a temperature sensor (PASCO CI-6505B) connected to a PASCO 550 Universal Interface. All smartphone protective films decreased radiation from the smartphone, and the acetone extract caused the most significant radiation decrease, with the best results at a concentration of 5%. An S. trifasciata extract contained alkaloids, saponins, steroids, phenolics, and tannins based on the phytochemical tests. Based on LC-MS data, the dominant compounds identified from the three extracts of S. trifasciata is a group of alkaloids, fatty acid, and steroid. The functional groups that are thought to play a role in reducing radiation are the C-O, C=O, and C-OH functional groups. A compound that is thought to contribute to the reduction in radiation is neuroscogenin, a steroid group.

Abstract

In this study, silica gel was extracted from rice husk ash using a modified acid-leaching process. The gel was then characterized using an X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and an X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). At different loadings of 0, 0.05 and 0.10 wt.%, silica gel was used as a cross-linker in the membrane formulation. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the membranes, while their performance was determined by pure water flux. XRD and XRF results revealed that the gel contained 76.85% silica. The presence of silica gel in membranes results in optimal water flux, indicating that the membranes have achieved good integral stability via the cross-linking process. Based on these positive findings, the applications of the membranes in the water-oil separation process will be evaluated in future work.

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) is a calcium phosphate-based biomaterial that is widely used in bone implants due to its similarity in composition with the constituent elements of bone. However, HAp still has poor mechanical properties, so research was carried out to improve the mechanical properties such as reduced brittleness, less fracture resistance, and a denser structure of HAp by synthesizing composites with PEG. This study used PEG as a filler and HAp as a matrix. HAp was synthesized from blood clam shells (Anadara granosa) using the sol-gel method. HAp-PEG composite was synthesized using the in-situ method with various HAp concentrations of 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80%. FTIR characterization showed the presence of functional groups PO43− and CO23−, which indicated the presence of HAp. Analysis of the XRD pattern showed a crystal size of 24.194 nm. SEM-EDX showed the needle-shaped HAp-PEG composite HAp crystal morphology and obtained a Ca/P ratio of 1.87. Analysis of DTA results showed a weight loss of 65.72% in the composite at a temperature > 200 °C. A degradation test was also carried out to see the percentage of the HAp-PEG composite to be degraded, and the optimum degraded composite with increasing days had a concentration of 70%.

Abstract

The aims of this research are to synthesize and determine the formula, characteristics, and complex structure of Cu(II) and Co(II) with 4-aminophenol and to investigate their antibacterial activity. The complexes were synthesized by refluxing a solution of CuSO4·5H2O and CoSO4·7H2O, respectively, with 4-aminophenol in methanol for 1 h. The products were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, thermal analysis, conductivity, FTIR, and magnetic moment. The formation of the complex was indicated by shifting of maximum wavelength of the metal solution toward shorter, i.e., 817  to 421 nm for Cu(II) and 566  to 450 nm for Co(II). From the characterization, the proposed formulas of the complexes are [Cu(4-aminophenol)4]SO4 and [Co(4-aminophenol)4(H2O)2]SO4·5H2O forming square planar and octahedral geometry, respectively. Both complexes are paramagnetic with negligible antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract

One in every three people in the world still lacks access to clean drinking water. Aside from microbiological pollution, high fluoride content in drinking water is one of the most serious problems in African countries. This study aimed to contribute to the availability of clean water by developing a point-of-use drinking water purifier using an aluminum oxide-based flocculent-disinfectant composite. Batch experiments were conducted to determine factors affecting fluoride removal efficiency (FRE) and E. coli log reduction efficiency. AO of 75 mg/L, 800 mg/L alum, lime (35% alum dose), and 1.5 mg/L Ca(OCl)₂ doses achieved 95% FRE and 5 log10 reductions of E. coli using 15 mg/L as initial fluoride concentration ([F−]0), and 105 CFU/100 mL E. coli concentration. [F−]0 affected FRE but showed no effect on E. coli log reduction. The optimum pH of the solution for both FRE and E. coli log reduction was found to be in the range of 4–8. Three prototypes in powder form were developed. The prototypes were tested on real water samples from the Ethiopian Rift Valley, and the results were found to be within the drinking water standards, thus indicating the capability of the developed products to purify contaminated water for human consumption.

Abstract

The polymer/ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) foam and aerogel composites generally exhibit superior radar absorptivity performance. However, these composites have poor mechanical and thermal properties. This study manufactured a polylactic acid (PLA)/Fe3O4 bio-composite and evaluated the radar absorptivity, thermal, and mechanical properties of radar-absorbing material. The composites were prepared using a solvent casting method to mix PLA and Fe3O4 at varying concentrations, followed by evaporation, oven drying, and hot pressing into a film. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the decomposition temperature of the PLA/Fe3O4-5% composite occurred at around 306 °C, which shifted to a lower decomposition temperature of PLA. The addition of 25 wt.% Fe3O4 improved the tensile modulus of neat PLA from 2.92 to 3.55 GPa. The vector network analyzer demonstrated that the addition of Fe3O4 at 25% improved the reflection loss of PLA from –5.17  to -25.83 dB at a thickness of 3 mm, with energy absorbed by 99.74% at frequency position 10.58 GHz. These results demonstrated that PLA/Fe3O4 composites have great potential in radar-absorbing practical applications.

Abstract

Composites of manganese and nitrogen-codoped zirconium titanate (Mn,N-codoped ZrTiO4) had been synthesized by the sol-gel method as a visible-light responsive photocatalyst for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB). Synthesis was conducted at 25 °C using titanium(IV) isopropoxide, zirconium oxide, urea, and manganese(II) chloride. Mn,N-codoped ZrTiO4 containing fixed 10% nitrogen dopant (wN/wTi) with various Mn dopant contents (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10% wMn/wTi) and calcination temperatures (500, 700, and 900 °C) had been investigated. All of the Mn,N-codoped ZrTiO4 exhibit a band gap within the visible range (2.51 to 2.74 eV). Photodegradation of MB was performed under visible light illumination for 120 min. The highest activity was achieved up to 7.7 µg L−1 min−1, which was obtained from Mn,N-codoped ZrTiO4 calcined at 500 °C containing 6% Mn and 10% N dopants.

Abstract

Hantap (Sterculia coccinea Jack) has been used traditionally for various health issues, including cancer treatment. The therapeutic effects of natural ingredients are often attributed to their chemical constituents. This study aimed to analyze the phytochemical contents and cytotoxic activities of S. coccinea leaves on HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. The quantitative phytochemical analysis was carried out following standard laboratory procedures. Phytochemical compounds were identified using LC-MS/MS QTOF. The MTT assay PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent test method was used to test cytotoxic activity in the cell culture. Extraction was carried out by the maceration method using 96% ethanol as solvent. The quantitative analysis revealed that tannins were the major phytochemical constituent in the highest percentage of 72.16%, followed by alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroids, with values of 30.80, 28.66, and 2.85%, respectively. Saponins were present in the lowest percentage of 1.15%. The ethanolic extract exhibited moderate cytotoxicity on HeLa and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 591.00 and 578.10 µg/mL, respectively. Identification using LC-MS/MS showed the suspected compounds 5,7-dihydroxy-3-(4'-hydroxybenzyl)chromone as homoisoflavanones and kaempferide-3-O-α-L-rhamnosyl-7-O-α-L-rhamnoside from flavonol triglycosides. These results may contribute to the study on the use of leaves extract of S. coccinea for developing a chemoprevention agent.

Abstract

The genus Genista L. (Family: Fabaceae) is a plant having several traditional uses for treating common ailments such as diabetes, ulcer, and respiratory diseases. In this current study, the composition of essential oil and the biological activities of Genista sagittalis L. (Fabaceae) from Kocaeli: Yuvacık Dam Basin have been studied. A total of fourteen components were identified in the essential oil. The identified compounds belonged to straight-chain alkane, aromatic ether, and terpenoid derivatives. The antibacterial activity analyses demonstrated that G. sagittalis flower extract only had low activity against P. mirabilis and P. aeruginosa with MICs 1 to 2 mg/mL, as the peduncle extract showed strong anti-QS activity at 1.3 mg/mL. To the best of our knowledge, the current work is the first to report the antimicrobial and anti-quorum sensing activity of G. sagittalis growing in Turkey. Double-stranded DNA binding affinity investigations of the flower and peduncle ethanol extracts indicate that there are interactions with double-stranded DNA and related binding constants (Kb) were found as 1.97×103±0.37 and 3.68×102±0.44 for the flower and peduncle extract, respectively.
