Abstract

This study aims to analyze the characteristics and performance of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) synthesized using soursop leaf extract bioreductor modified with the addition of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) stabilizer as a colorimetric sensor for heavy metal ions. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out by reducing AgNO3 using soursop leaf extract (Annona muricata Linn) bioreductor modified with the addition of PVP as stabilizer. The results showed that the optimum synthesis volume ratio of AgNP synthesis was 0.7 mL of soursop leaf extract: 10 mL AgNO3 with the addition of 3% PVP stabilizer. The formation of AgNP was characterized by a change in the color of the solution from yellow to brownish with a surface plasmon resonance peak at a maximum wavelength of 438 nm. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy studies showed hydroxyl groups (-OH) and carbonyl groups (C=O) play a role in the reduction process of silver ions. Particle size analysis results demonstrated an average particle size of 71.5 nm with a polydispersity index value of 0.364. The results of the colorimetric analysis showed that the synthesized AgNPs proved to be highly selective towards Cu metal ions.

Abstract

Platinum (Pt) is often used as an electrocatalyst in the electrooxidation of ethanol. There have been many attempts to improve the catalytic properties of platinum-based catalysts to achieve satisfactory results. The solutions are manipulating the size and shape of Pt. In this study, Pt will be deposited using the square wave pulse deposition method at upper potential variations. The Pt samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results of SEM show that the morphology of Pt at potentials of 0.3 V, 0.5 V, and 1.0 V produces a dendritic nanothorn morphology, while 1.25 V and 1.50 V produce a nanoleaf morphology. The lowest charge transfer resistance value is at Pt1.0V with the smallest size. The highest yield of ethanol electrooxidation was at Pt1.0V reaching 8.82 mA/cm2.

Abstract

Waste cooking oil has been repurposed in the preparation of liquid hand soap, enriched with Aloe vera extract as an antibacterial agent. To ensure the safety and efficacy of the product in bacterial inhibition, comprehensive testing of physical quality and antibacterial activity has been undertaken on the produced liquid soap. The test results affirm that the soap product complies with the Indonesian National Standard for free alkali content, acidity level (pH), foam height, foam stability, and water content. Notably, the soap exhibits a free alkali content of 0.01873%, a pH of 10, a foam height of 65 mm, and a foam stability value of 84.61%. The water content in the soap is measured at 40%. These results collectively position the soap within the criteria for high-quality soap. In the antibacterial effectiveness test against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria, the addition of Aloe vera has markedly expanded the inhibitory zone, demonstrating a significant enhancement in antibacterial activity. In light of the above, this study aims to address environmental pollution and health risks associated with improper disposal of waste cooking oil. Moreover, the addition of antibacterial Aloe vera presents an economically valuable solution by repurposing waste cooking oil into a useful product.

Abstract

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are well known as free radical scavengers, which may induce cell damage, triggering degenerative diseases and premature aging. This research aims to assess the antioxidant activity of AuNPs synthesized via the electrodeposition method, employing cyclic voltammetry on a Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide (FTO) substrate. By varying the initial voltage, the resulting AuNPs exhibit  variations in both particle size and number. In this study, AuNPs demonstrated promising antioxidant potential, particularly at an initial voltage of -1 V, as evidenced by their ability to respond to DPPH radicals, yielding a percent inhibition of up to 36.80%.

Abstract

AuPt Bimetal has been successfully synthesized by electrodeposition method with potentiostat technique. By varying the concentration of Au ions in the solution they are able to control the morphology and composition of the synthesized sample. The morphology obtained from the AuPt synthesis is cauliflower. The effect of Au ion concentration in solution on the catalytic performance of AuPt, the greater the Au concentration, the greater the current density in the electrooxidation reaction. In addition, the concentration of Au ions in the solution affects the results of the deposition of Au and Pt elements. In the study of AuPt nanocatalysts with a 0.4 mM Au ion concentration in an electrolyte solution, it was shown to have good catalytic activity in the ethanol electrooxidation reaction, with the resulting current densities and If/Ib of 10.1 mA/cm2 and 43.53 mA/cm2, respectively. This is an implication of many Au compositions which are known to have the ability to absorb and oxidize CO to encourage an increase in current density and increase its catalytic activity.
