Abstract

Batteries are chemical devices to save electricity. device capable of generating a DC voltage, ie by converting chemical energy contained in it into electrical energy through the reaction of electro clams, Redox (Reduction - Oxidation). The battery consists of several cells, these cells become energy storage in the form of chemical energy. Negative electrode called the cathode, which serve as electron donors. Positive electrode called the anode which serves as an electron acceptor. Between the anode and the cathode current will flow from the positive pole (anode) to the negative pole (cathode). While the electrons will flow from ktoda toward the anode.In this study, the batteries are designed to use sea water as electrolyte. Voltage measured for one cell is 0,75 Volt and measurable current of 100mA, to get the required voltage is 10 Volts 15 cells arranged in series. Testing is done by loading a flashlight with 5 LED, the results of this special design battery capable of powering 5 LED for seven days without stopping, this suggests that there are large energy stored in batteries.

Abstract

This thesis presents a study of hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst for alkaline water electrolysis. Hydrogen production through the electrolysis of water requires the development of new electrocatalysts in order to reduce the hydrogen evolution over-potential of the cathode in order to make water electrolysis more competitive and efficient. An alternative approach in the optimisation of water splitting electrocatalyst may Be the modification of the metal electrocatalytic behaviour by supporting nano-particles on oxide support. Development of the electrocatalyst material for hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyte may obtain more stable hydrogen evolution reaction.Pt on TiO2 electrocatalyst has been synthesized by applying high throughput Physical Vapor Deposition (HT PVD) method. Electrochemistry measurements of Pt on TiO2 have been used to study the characteristic and stability of the electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyte for water electrolysis. XRD confirmed that the phase of TiO2 were amorphous and anatase after annealing for 6 hours at the temperature of 450oC. The thicknesses of TiO2 both for amorphous and anatase were 200 nm.Similar electrocatalytic behavior are presented both for Pt on amorpous TiO2 and Pt on anatase TiO2 from electrochemistry measurements using cyclic voltammetry and potential step on the 10 x 10 E-chem arrays in alkaline electrolyte (0.5 M NaOH). Higher currents are seen in the larger particle size of platinum in TiO2 both for amorphous and anatase phase. The hydrogen evolution reaction starts at the potential below -0.8 V vs RHE. The potential for hydrogen evolution reaction is shifted to the low potential. Larger particle size of platinum shows lower potential of hydrogen evolution reaction.Pt on TiO­2 tends to be a stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline water electrolysis. It is because hydrogen evolution reaction occurs at low potential. Anatase phase of TiO­2 is more stable than amorphous TiO2, hence, Pt on anatase TiO­2­ could be better than Pt on amorphous TiO­2 for hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline water electrolysis.

Abstract

This research develops a monitoring tool for urban plan-process based on Life Cycle Analysis by Lourenço. A special project of urban waterfront revitalization is proposed as a contribution to legitimize the LCA model. This research also proposes the influence and the success key factors of its behavior plan-process.The model is tested through benchmarking for six waterfront cities in South Europe. Bilbao in Spain, Genoa in Italy, and Lisbon in Portugal are considered as the success projects since the urban strategy has a strong link with the urban waterfront area notified by the high intensity of the cycle for each phase. Porto and Viana do Castelo in Portugal are considered as the success projects which have a similar behavior for the action and living phase which might be due to the same project under national policy and the projects touch economic and social opportunity of the people. Aveiro in Portugal shows rupture in the beginning, followed by high intensity in the next period which has similar behavior with ideal behavior of LCA model.This research shows the applicability of LCA Model to monitor waterfront revitalization projects and enables the discussion of conceptual issues related to the legitimizing of LCA and the present contribution. The behavior of urban waterfront area and the time dimension can be monitored and the influenced factors of the behavior can be noticed with the success key factors, those are: Planning: does the urban waterfront become the focus of the city planning? Action: does the project persistence in the design proposal? andLiving: does the urban waterfront touch social, culture and economic of the people activities?.
