Abstract

This study aimed to synthesize a superabsorbent polymer composite based on a natural polymer that has been made by grafting method using cassava starch as a backbone (main framework), Acrylic acid (AA) as a monomer, Ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator and N,N Methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. The effect of the ratio of cassava starch and acrylic acid (25 : 75; 50 : 50 and 75 : 25% weight total) has been studied based on absorption capacity. The chemical structure that occurs is analyzed using Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results of the FTIR spectrum showed that the grafting of acrylic acid to starch occurred. In the ratio of starch to acrylic acid 25 : 75% of the weight total obtained the maximum water absorption ability (absorption capacity) 224 g/g in aquades and 25 g/g in 0,9% NaCl solution. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mensintesis komposit polimer superabsorban berbasis polimer alam yang telah dibuat dengan metode grafting (pencangkokan) yang menggunakan pati singkong sebagai backbone (kerangka utama), asam akrilat (AA) sebagai monomer, Ammonium persulfat (APS) sebagai inisiator dan N,N Metilen bisakrilamida (MBA) sebagai crosslinker. Pengaruh rasio pati singkong dan asam akrilat (25 : 75; 50 : 50 dan 75 : 25% berat total) telah dipelajari berdasarkan kapasitas absorbsi. Struktur kimia yang terjadi dianalisa menggunakan spektroskopi Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR). Hasil dari spektrum FTIR memperlihatkan bahwa terjadinya grafting asam akrilat terhadap pati. Pada rasio pati dengan asam akrilat 25 : 75% berat total diperoleh kemampuan menyerap air (kapasitas absorbsi) maksimum 224 g/g dalam aquades dan 25 g/g dalam larutan NaCl 0,9%.

Abstract

Photosynthesis is a technique for converting light energy into chemical energy that is both efficient and sustainable. Chlorophyll in energy-transducing photosynthetic organisms is unique because of their distinctive structure and composition. In photo-bioelectrochemical research, the chlorophyll's quantum trapping efficiency is attractive. Chlorophyll from Spirulina platensis is demonstrated to communicate directly with TiO2-modified Indium Thin Oxide (ITO) to generate electricity without the use of any mediator. TiO2-modified ITO with a chlorophyll concentration of 100 % generated the greatest power density and photocurrent of approximately 178.15 mW/m2 and 596.92 mA/m2 from water oxidation under light among all the other materials. While the sensitivity with light was 0.885 mA/m2.lux, and Jmax value was 1085 mA/m2. Furthermore, the power and photocurrent density as a function of chlorophyll content are studied. The polarizability and Van der Waals interaction of TiO2 and chlorophyll are crucial in enhancing electron transport in photo-bioelectrochemical systems. As a result, this anode structure has the potential to be improved and used to generate even more energy.
