Abstract

This study successfully made starch from taro tuber flour using immersion methods (AQ, SM) and centrifugation methods (CE). Taro starch with the AQ method produced the most starch content, thus improving the viscosity parameter in the pasting properties test. A simple mathematical model was used to control the taro starch pasting process and product. The highest R-value in the AQ sample was 309.88 s, indicating the strongest starch granule resistance. Meanwhile, the S-value in this study showed that all samples were above 1, which indicated that water penetration affected the swelling rate of starch granules. Taro starch with different isolation methods was analyzed for hydrogel formation using optical microscopy, SEM, swelling degree test, weight loss, color analysis, and texture profile analysis (TPA). The morphological images show three phases of a taro starch hydrogel formation: granular, potential cross-linking, and cross-linking hydrogel with a firm structure. Optimization of freeze-thaw process parameters was carried out to determine the optimum parameters of starch hydrogel formation, which was obtained under freezing conditions for 17 hours at -23°C and thawing for 7 hours at 4°C. The sample CE resulted in the most stable hydrogel formation, showing the highest amylose content, protein content, and the lowest impurities or ash content. The CE starch concentration of 10% resulted in the highest swelling degree and the lowest weight loss, indicating that the ability of the hydrogel to maintain its structure was stronger and more elastic. The textural properties of CE hydrogel at a concentration of 10% showed the most stability. It had the highest hardness, fracturability, chewiness, and springiness. Physical characteristics showed that the starch hydrogels had a dense, porous surface and formed a cross-linking structure. It can potentially be used in functional food applications to control the release of bioactive compounds.

Abstract

Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method followed by annealing at different temperatures to investigate their structural, morphological, and magnetic properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of a single-phase spinel structure, with increased crystallinity and grain growth observed at higher annealing temperatures. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) further revealed a transition from small, aggregated nanoparticles to well-defined crystalline grains. Magnetic hysteresis measurements demonstrated a significant enhancement in saturation magnetization (Ms) and coercivity (Hc) with increasing temperature, reaching up to 55.15 emu/g and 253.23 Oe, respectively, at 800 °C. These improvements are attributed to reduced surface spin disorder and increased magnetic domain alignment due to grain growth. The results underscore the importance of annealing temperature in tailoring the magnetic behavior and structural properties of Ni–Zn ferrite nanoparticles for potential applications in magnetic and electronic devices.

Abstract

Cdots are carbon-based nanoparticles and luminescent materials that are safe for humans, the environment, and have many potential applications. Natural precursors using local plants can be utilized, and a green synthesis approach can be used to fabricate Cdots that are advantageous in terms of sustainability, availability, low cost, and minimal toxic waste. In this study, the hydrothermal method was chosen because the process is simple, does not require a catalyst, and is suitable for natural materials. The fabricated Cdots from various plant-based extract precursors using the hydrothermal method are investigated for the chemical and optical property changes that occur during the conversion of natural extracts into Cdots. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra show that functional groups such as O–H and C=C remain present after the Cdots synthesis process. The UV-Vis spectra show a shift in the absorption band, indicating the formation of sp² aromatic domains and π-π* transition in the Cdots structure, compared to plant-based extracts. These results show great potential of local plants as base material for producing Cdots that can be beneficial for various applications.

Abstract

This study reports the synthesis and characterization of niobium-doped BiVO4 (NbX-BiVO4, X = 0, 2, 4, 6 mol%) photocatalysts via a hydrothermal method, aimed at enhancing the degradation of organic pollutants under UV irradiation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the preservation of the monoclinic BiVO4 structure in all samples, although minor secondary features were detected in doped compositions. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) imaging revealed progressively rougher, nanostructured surfaces with increasing Nb content, while UV-Vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy indicated modified band structures and reduced recombination rates. Photocatalytic performance was evaluated using ciprofloxacin (CIP) and methylene blue (MB) as model pollutants. For CIP, the highest activity was achieved by Nb6-BiVO4 (k value of 0.09 min‒1 g–1), attributable to enhanced charge separation and increased surface texture. In contrast, MB degradation favored the undoped BiVO4 (k value of 0.29 min‒1 g–1) due to stronger dye adsorption, despite the optical improvements in doped samples. The findings demonstrate that Nb doping improves BiVO4 photocatalytic activity through synergistic structural and electronic effects, with pollutant-specific responses highlighting the importance of matching catalyst design to target contaminant properties.

Abstract

Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) is a promising pseudocapacitive material for supercapacitor applications due to its high theoretical capacitance and electrochemical stability. However, its practical performance is limited by low electrical conductivity and poor ion transport kinetics. In this work, we report the enhancement of Nb2O5 electrode performance through molybdenum (Mo) doping and thermal calcination. Mo-doped Nb2O5 nanostructures were synthesized via a hydrothermal method followed by calcination at 500 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed a rougher morphology and homogeneous Mo distribution in the doped sample. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a structural transformation from a deformed orthorhombic phase in pristine Nb2O5 to a more crystalline pseudohexagonal phase in Mo-Nb2O5-500. Electrochemical analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in capacitive behavior, with Mo-Nb2O5-500 achieving a specific capacitance of 55.3 F/g at 5 mV/s, which is five times higher than the undoped sample. All electrodes exhibited stable cycling performance. These results highlight the synergistic role of Mo doping and calcination in enhancing the electrochemical properties of Nb2O5, offering a viable approach for developing high-performance pseudocapacitor electrodes.
