"Modifications of the TiO2 P25 photocatalyst with metals: Platinum (Pt), Copper (Cu) and non-metal: Nitrogen (N) doping to produce Hydrogen (H2) from a glycerol-water mixture have been investigated. The metals (Pt and Cu) were loaded into Titanium Dioxide (TiO2 ) surface by employing an impregnation and Photo-Assisted Deposition (PAD) method, respectively. As prepared the metal doped TiO2 photocatalyst was then dispersed into an ammonia solution to obtain N-doped photocatalysts. The modified photocatalysts were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). XRD patterns indicated that the modified TiO2 photocatalysts have a nano-size crystallite range of 16-23 nm, while the DRS analysis showed that the doping of both metal and non-metal into TiO2 photocatalysts could effectively shift photon absorption to the visible light region. The optimum Cu loading of Cu-N-TiO2 was found to be 5%, resulting in a 10 times higher H2 production improvement level when compared to unloaded TiO2, even though this is still considered to be inferior compared to that of a 1% Pt loading, which results in a 34 times higher level than an unmodified TiO2photocatalyst. The effect of glycerol concentrations on hydrogen production has also been studied. This method offers a promising technology to find renewable and clean energy by using cheap materials and a simple technology."

ABSTRACT

Hydrogen is one of the abundant elements on earth, hydrogen is found in compound with other atoms so that there are many in the air (such as H2 and NH2) and water (H2O), its availability in the earth's crust is 15.4%. Due to its abundant availability and ability to produce energy sources without producing air and water pollution, hydrogen is projected as a future energy source. But the selection of materials for hydrogen storage devices is very important because hydrogen in the gas phase is a reactive molecule that requires storage with the right material. Aside from safety factors, the effectiveness of hydrogen adsorption onto the surface of the material is also the main focus. Therefore graphene oxide was chosen, graphene oxide is a sheet formed from a single layer of graphite oxide which is easy to synthesize which has good electric and optical properties. The advantage of using graphene oxide material is that the price is cheaper than pure graphene and is available in large quantities. The gases that can be absorbed by this material include H2, CH4, CO2, N2, NH3, NO2, H2S, and SO2. Research conducted in this simulation makes it possible to test the effectiveness of adsorption with a wider variety of temperatures and pressures and uses a relatively lower cost compared to experimental research. Then the research conducted by the author uses the Molecular Dynamics Simulation method. The temperature variations used are 77 K, 100 K, 200 K, 250 K, 295 K, the pressure has a variation of 1 bar, 5 bar, 10 bar, 20 bar, 40 bar and 80 bar in a constant system. The results obtained will be compared with the research results experimentally."

"Penggunaan energi matahari untuk produksi hidrogen dari air dapat menjadi alternatif yang potensial untuk mengatasi masalah keberlanjutan pasokan energi dan pengurangan pencemaran lingkungan. Sistem tandem dyes sensitized solar cell-photoelectrocatalytic (DSSC-PEC) berpotensi dikembangkan menjadi salah satu perangkat pemanen sinar matahari untuk produksi hidrogen (Solar to hydrogen). Dalam sistem tandem tersebut bagian PEC sebagai tempat terjadinya reaksi pemecahan air, sedangkan bagian DSSC berfungsi sebagai salah satu penyedia tegangan insitu dan elektron aktif bagi sel PEC. Material TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) merupakan material satu dimensi (1D) yang memiliki sifat fotokatalitik yang superior dan luas permukaan spesifik yang besar, serta channel 1D yang kondusif dalam transpor muatan. TNAs telah dipreparasi menggunakan metode two step anodization dengan meningkatkan potensial anodisasi tahap dua pada potensial sedang. Plat Ti digunakan sebagai working electrode dan stainless steel digunakan sebagai counter electrode. Elektrolit yang digunakan adalah etilen glikol yang mengandung 0,3% w/w NH4F dan 2% v/v H2O. Hasil anodisasi tahap satu dihilangkan dengan sonikasi dalam air distilasi selama 20 menit dan plat ini berperan sebagai template untuk anodisasi tahap dua. Hasil anodisasi yang diperoleh pada tahap dua dikalsinasi pada suhu 450° C selama 2 jam untuk merubah fasa amorf menjadi fasa kristalin. Band gap energy dari TNAs yang dipreparasi dengan metode two step yakni sekitar 3,07-3,31 eV. Morfologi permukaan TNAs yang dihasilkan berbentuk heksagonal (honey comb). Peningkatan potensial anodisasi pada tahap dua menghasilkan TNAs yang highly order dengan durasi pembentukan yang relatif lebih singkat dengan nilai regularity ratio (RR) optimum 0,92. Agar lebih responsif terhadap sinar tampak, TNAs dimodifikasi dengan BiOI (bismuth oxyiodide) dengan metode Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) dengan bantuan ultrasonikasi dan pemanasan menggunakan pelarut air distilasi dan pelarut sorbitol. BiOI/TNAs hasil modifikasi responsif terhadap sinar tampak pada rentang 450-580 nm (redshift) dengan nilai band gap sekitar 1,90 eV-2,32. Morfologi permukaan BiOI/TNA yang dihasilkan yakni bentuk nanoplate, nanoflake, dan nanosheet dengan orientasi tegak lurus pada matriks TiO2 nanotubes. Modifikasi BiOI pada TNAs tidak mengubah fasa kristal anatase. Fotoanoda Graphene Oxide (GO)/TNAs dan reduced-Graphene Oxide (rGO)/TNAs dipreparasi menggunakan teknik drop casting dan teknik deposisi Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), berturut-turut. Modifikasi TNAs dengan material GO ini berhasil menggeser serapan pada sinar tampak (430 nm). Material GO atau rGO/TNAs ini dimodifikasi dengan BiOI untuk mendapatkan fotoanoda ternary yang memiliki respon fotoelektrokimia yang lebih tinggi. BiOI/TNAs dan ternary BiOI/GO/TNAs digunakan sebagai fotoanoda pada zona PEC. Sementara itu, pada bagian katoda PEC digunakan TNAs yang dimodifikasi dengan Pt yang dipreparasi dengan metode fotoreduksi, sebagai zona katalis untuk pembentukan hidrogen. Pengembangan bagian DSSC digunakan fotoanoda TNAs yang disensitasi dengan N719 dyes dan bagian katodanya digunakan kaca Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide (FTO) yang dilapisi dengan Pt. Efisiensi DSSC N719 dyes/TNAs optimum yang didapat sekitar 5,23%. Perangkat DSSC dan PEC ini diaplikasikan untuk produksi hidrogen menghasilkan persen solar to hydrogen (STH) sekitar 2,56%. Saat diaplikasikan untuk produksi hidrogen dan degradasi fenol secara simultan dengan persen solar to hydrogen (STH) turun menjadi 1,34%, namun mampu mendegradasi fenol hingga 73,74%. Dari hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa sistem DSSC-PEC dengan fotoanoda bagian PEC berupa BiOI/TNAs atau BiOI/rGO/TNAs memiliki potensi yang menjanjikan secara simultan untuk produksi hidrogen dan degradasi zat organik dalam air berkadar garam tinggi.

The solar energy utilization for hydrogen production from water can be a potential alternative to address the problem of sustainability of energy supply and reduction of environmental pollution. The tandem dyes-sensitized solar cell-photoelectrocatalytic (DSSC-PEC) system can potentially be developed into one of the solar harvesting devices for hydrogen production (Solar to hydrogen). In this tandem system, the PEC compartment acts as a site for the water-splitting reaction, while the DSSC part provides insitu voltage and active electrons for the PEC cell. TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) are one-dimensional (1D) with a superior photocatalytic high surface area and one dimension channel conducive to charge transport. TNAs have been prepared using a two-step anodization method by increasing the second-step voltages at moderate voltage. The Ti foil and stainless steel were used as the working and counter electrodes, respectively. The ethylene glycol containing 0.3% w/w of NH4F and 2% v/v H2O was used as the electrolyte. The first anodization result was removed by the ultrasonication process in the distilled water for 20 min, and this foil acted as the template for the second step of anodization. The second anodization product was calcined at 450° C for 2 h to convert the amorphous phase into a crystalline phase. Increasing the second step potential for producing TNAs with a highly ordered structure can improve the PEC properties. The band gap energy of TNAs prepared with the two-step anodization method was 3.07-3.31 eV. The surface morphology of TNAs prepared by the two-step anodization method was hexagonal (honeycomb). The increasing voltage in the second anodization step reveals TNAs with high order and short-duration of TNAs production with a regularity ratio (RR) was 0.92. In order to extend absorption in the visible range, TNAs were modified with BiOI (bismuth oxy iodide) by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) with ultrasonication and heat-assisted by using deionized water and sorbitol solvent. Modified BiOI/TNAs were responsive to visible light in the 450-580 nm (redshift) range, with a band gap energy of 1.90 - 2.32 eV. The BiOI/TNAs morphology was nanoplate, nanoflake, and nanosheet perpendicular to TiO2 nanotube matrices. The modification of BiOI on TNAs did not change the anatase crystal phase. The photoanode of Graphene oxide (GO)/TNAs and reduced-Graphene Oxide (rGO)/TNAs were prepared by Drop Casting and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) deposition, respectively. The TNAs were modified with GO material and succeeded in shifting the absorption in visible light (430 nm). The GO/TNAs and the rGO/TNAs were modified with BiOI to produce a ternary photoanode with a higher photoelectrochemical response. The BiOI/TNAs and BiOI/GO/TNAs ternaries were used as photoanodes in the PEC zone. Meanwhile, at the PEC cathode, TNAs modified with Pt prepared by the photoreduction method were used as catalyst zone for the hydrogen formation. The development of DSSC using TNAs photoanode that were sensitized with N719 dyes and for the cathode used Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide (FTO) glass modified with Pt. The optimum efficiency of DSSC was 5.23%. The DSSC and PEC devices were applied for hydrogen production to produce solar to hydrogen (STH) of around 2.56 %. When applied to hydrogen production and phenol degradation simultaneously, the percentage of solar to hydrogen (STH) decreased to 1.34% but degraded phenol up to 73.74%. The results of this study reveal that the DSSC-PEC system with PEC photoanodes in the form of BiOI/TNAs or BiOI/rGO/TNAs has a promising potential for simultaneous hydrogen production and degradation of organic substance in salty water."

"The effect of metal doping on the hydrogen physisorption energy of a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is investigated. Unlike many previous studies that treated metal doping as an ionic or charged element, in this study, lithium and magnesium are doped to an SWCNT as a neutral charged by substituting boron on the SWCNT (Boron substituted SWCNT). Using ab initio electronic structure calculations, the interaction potential energies between hydrogen molecules and adsorbent materials were obtained. The potential energies were then represented in an equation of potential parameters as a function of SWCNT diameters in order to obtain the most precise potential interaction model. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a canonical ensemble to analyze hydrogen gas adsorption on the inner and outer surfaces of the SWCNT. The isosteric heat of the physical hydrogen adsorption on the SWCNT was estimated to be 1.6 kcal/mole, decreasing to 0.2 kcal/mole in a saturated surface condition. The hydrogen physisorption energy on SWCNT can be improved by doping lithium and magnesium on Boron substituted SWCNT. Lithium-Boron substituted SWCNT system had a higher energy physisorption that was 3.576 kcal/mole compared with SWCNT 1.057–1.142 kcal/mole. Magnesium-Boron substituted SWCNT system had the highest physisorption energy that was 7.396 kcal/mole. However, since Magnesium-Boron substituted SWCNT system had a heavier adsorbent mass, its physisorption capacity at ambient temperature and a pressure of 120 atm only increased from 1.77 wt% for the undoped SWCNT to 2.812 wt%, while Lithium-Boron substituted SWCNT system reached 4.086 wt%."
