Abstract

Synthesis ofoNiFe2O4/PVDF nanocomposite with sintering temperature variations of 2500C, 280, 3000C, 3500C, 4500C has been done with the solgel method for microwave absorbing material (RAM).This material is to reduce reflections or absorb microwaves, so objects coated with RAM are not detected by Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR). In making nanocomposite NiFe2O4 / PVDF, it includes the making of Fe3O4 precursor solution using iron sand, making NiFe2O4 solution, making NiFe2O4 / PVDF nanocomposite, printing, and  sintering. The samples were characterized by XRD. FTIR and VNA. For the analysis of microwave absorption ability as measured by the Vector Network Analyzerr(VNA), and then maximum Reflection Loss (RL) number was obtained at theesintering temperature of 2800C at -27.5767 dB at aafrequency off11.20 GHz which the X-Band region with microwaveeabsorption in coefficient amounting to 0.0417989142. Nanocomposite NiFe2O4 / PVDF can absorb microwaves ~ 96% at a frequency of 11.20 GHz. So, NiFe2O4/PVDF nanocomposite is suitable for Absorbing Radar Material

Abstract

The availability of fossil energy is decreasing day by day. Therefore, a New Renewable Energy solution is needed. One of the renewable energy is DSSC. DSSC is a photoelectrochemical-based solar cell that has a lower cost, less difficult preparation, and is environmentally friendly. DSSC be composed of working electrode, dye, electrolyte, and counter electrode. This researchintend to investigate the performance of the working electrode where the manufacture of a thin film using the dip coating method with variations in immersion and its effect on the efficiency of DSSC. This research is an experimental research. In this study, the semiconductor working electrode was made based on 9% ZnO/Ag synthesis by going through a sol-gel process. The working electrode was coated with variations of immersion 1, 3 and 5 times. The 9% ZnO/Ag thin layer was characterized by UV-DR Spectrometer. Based on the results, 9% Ag doped ZnO deposited on the ITO substrate with variations of immersion 1, 3 and 5 times showed, a band gap of 3.09 eV, 3.10 eV and 3.12 eV, respectively. Based on these data, it was applied to DSSC with the optimum efficiency shown at the electrode 1 time dip. Therefore, the greater the amount of immersion, the lower the efficiency of the DSSC.The availability of fossil energy is decreasing day by day. Therefore, a New Renewable Energy solution is needed.

Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has a complex geological structure. Its location at the confluence of three plates, namely the Eurasian plate, the Indo-Australian plate, and the Pacific plate causes high tectonic activity. This seismic activity causes high seismicity levels, especially along the subduction zone. An earthquake with a large magnitude can occur and cause a high level of damage, so it is necessary to know about the language of earthquake resistance. Earthquake vulnerability is useful for mitigating earthquakes that will occur so that people are more alert to earthquake disasters that can occur anytime and anywhere. This research is a descriptive type of research, namely by collecting data on the JINSET (Japan Indonesian Seismic Network) earthquake catalog in 1999-2003 with M greater than 5 S.R. Earthquake hazard data processing using geopsy software for HVSR analysis. The horizontal component data is divided by the vertical component in the frequency domain so that the H/V value is obtained.

Abstract

The northern Sumatra has a high level of seismic activity. Before a significant earthquake occurs, there is a seismic quiescence phenomenon that precedes a significant earthquake.This phenomenon can be observed in seismic rate changes based on the spatial distribution of z-value.The data used are from the NEIC/USGS website, period 1990-2021. The study was conducted in five focus zones, three zones in the 2004 (9.2 SR), 2005 (7.8 SR) 2010 (7.1 SR) earthquake, two zones with coordinates 0.6-1.8 North Latitude and 96.8-97.6 East Longitude and zones with coordinates 3.6-4.8 North Latitude and 97.8-98.6 East Longitude. Using the z-value spatial distribution method, the region is divided into several grids. Z-value is calculated for each grid and describes the seismic rate change in the northern Sumatra. Based on the results obtained, before the 2004, 2005, and 2010 earthquake events, there was a seismic quiescence phenomenon that preceded the earthquake event. The seismic quiescence phenomenon appears afew years in early 2021 in a zone that has high seismic activity. Meanwhile, in zones that have low seismic activity, the increase seismic activity appears six years before the beginning of 2021. The spatial distribution of z-values in early 2021, there is a phenomenon of a decrease in seismic activity in several areas of northern Sumatra.

Abstract

This study aims to form a graphene oxide layer from bagasse, which by knowing the microstructure of the layer graphene oxide can be used as microwave absorption. In the process, bagasse is made into activated carbon with various carbonation temperatures, namely 300oC, 350oC, 400oC and 450oC. Then it was synthesized using the modified hummers method by mixing carbon with H2SO4, KMnO4, H2O2 and aquades. Then they were characterized using FTIR, XRD and SEM.Based on the FTIR data, it states that there is a relationship between carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) which proves the formation of a graphene oxide layer. Also based on the results of XRD which states that the diffraction angle is in the range of 10o-90o and has the highest crystal size of 40.5267076 nm. Likewise, the results from SEM which stated that the best graphene oxide was at an average particle size of 81,4043598 nm. The resulting graphene oxide is also shaped like monolayer sheets.

Abstract

Manganese is a metal element found in group VII, has an atomic weight of 54.93u, with a boiling point of 20320˚C, while the melting point is 12470˚C, and has a reddish-gray color. Iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) or also known as hematite or maghemite iron ore, iron hematite (α – Fe2O3) is a simple oxide which has a hexagonal (rhombohedral) structure and has the R3c space group. Manganese was used as reinforcement in this research, while the matrix used was polystyrene. In this study, 5 variations of pH MnFe2O4/PS, namely 5,6,7,8 and 9 nanocomposites were synthesized using the spin coating method with manganese oxide (MnO2) and iron ore (Fe2O3) precursors. The composite gel is dropped on the glass substrate then the drying process is carried out in an oven. MnFe2O4/PS nanocomposites were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). giving acid and alkaline solutions affects the size of the crystals, when adding a base (25% Na4OH) the crystal size becomes small while when the acid is added (100% CO3COOH) the crystal size is larger. : pH 8: pH 9 an increase in crystal size and grain size occurs.
