Therefore, various methods have been carried out to produce ZnO crystals and one of them is the Electric Current Heating method. Electric Current Heating (ECH) method is a fabrication technique applied in researches to grow ZnO crystal on a ceramic bar. This method is preferred because of it is easy to operate in laboratory, low growth temperature and also low cost. In this research, by using powder metallurgy process, Graphene Oxide/GO (in various weight percentage) added into ZnO was pelletized in a compaction die with dimension of 14.95 mm x 30 mm x 40 mm and pressure of 4 bar. The pellet green body was then sintered at 1100 °C with rate 10.0 °C/min for 3 hours. The sintered GO added ZnO ceramic was cut into ceramic bar with dimensio of 13mm x 2mm x 2mm. ECH with current 3 A and applied voltage of 30 V was used to heat the ceramic bar to produce crystals. Under scanning electron observation, it was found different crystal-like structures for each percentage GO addition. UV-Vis measurement has shown that each crystal-like structure of a GO added ZnO has own degree of energy absorbsion because of different band gap. Addition GO into ZnO would increase band gap of pure ZnO.","PeriodicalId":177608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Metastable and Nanocrystalline Materials","volume":"280 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140750013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current research aims to synthesize titanate nanosheets using the natural mineral ilmenite from Indonesia through the hydrothermal method.

Ramelan, Susana Susana","doi":"10.4028/p-0vrmiv","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4028/p-0vrmiv","url":null,"abstract":"Porous Anodic Aluminum oxide (PAAO) is a porous oxide layer resulting from anodization. The structure of PAAO is influenced by anodization parameters, i.e., voltage and electrolyte composition. Increasing anodization voltage can affect the process of pore formation and oxide growth during anodization. Adding additives such as ethanol, propanol, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) can increase pore regularity and affect the structure of PAAO. In this study, tobacco extract (TE) was added to the oxalic acid-based anodizing solution. TE has many active compounds that may affect pore formation and oxide growth. Morphological analysis shows decreased pore diameter when adding tobacco extracts with concentrations of 0, 0.1, and 0.5 g/L, namely 43.92, 41.42, and 37.8 nm at anodization voltage 40 V. In anodization with a voltage of 60 V, a decrease in pore diameter was obtained with 46.47, 34.24, and 26.8 nm for adding tobacco extract 0, 0.1, and 0.5 g/L. The thickness of PAAO increases from 6.45 µm to 16.87 µm with increasing anodization voltage and tobacco extract concentration. The increase of tobacco extract concentration can lead to the decrease of the XRD peak intensity, where the sequence of the most significant decrease was observed for the peaks of (111), (220), (200), and (311), respectively. A decrease in the intensity ratio of (111) and (220) AAO peaks indicates the influence of tobacco extract on the anodization process. Further thermal analysis by Thermo-gravimetric (TG) shows an increase in mass loss from 1.47 to 5.37% with increasing tobacco extract concentration from 0 g/L to 0.5 g/L. TG results indicate the incorporation of tobacco extract in the inner pore wall.","PeriodicalId":177608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Metastable and Nanocrystalline Materials","volume":"1 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139529893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
