Abstract

The climate change caused by the widespread and continuous use of fossil fuels is a problem that needs to be addressed urgently. One of the solutions offered is through an energy transition towards the use of new or renewable and low-carbon fuels. Hydrogen gas as a carrier of energy is an alternative solution that has attracted the attention of researchers, due to its high combustion energy and environmental friendliness. The production of hydrogen gas using the Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (PEMWE) method is considered effective for large-scale production. This study investigates the impact of catalyst loading and various current densities on hydrogen production in the PEM water electrolysis process, utilizing the Cu2O/C catalyst. This study investigates the impact of catalyst loading and different current densities on hydrogen production in the PEM water electrolysis process, utilizing the Cu2O/C catalyst. The electrode catalytic properties were evaluated using the Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) method to determine the Electrochemical Surface Area (ECSA) and the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) method to determine the electrical conductivity. The ECSA and EIS measurements demonstrated that the best results were obtained at a higher catalyst loading of 2 mg/cm2 with an ECSA value of 0.21 m2/g and electrical conductivity of 3.04 × 10−6 S/cm. The production of hydrogen results showed that the highest hydrogen production rate was 3.75 mL/s with a catalyst loading of 2.5 mg/cm2, indicating that increasing the load could lead to a higher rate of hydrogen gas production, but this is highly dependent on the surface area utilized. Additionally, at higher current densities, the cell resistance in the electrolysis process may decrease, leading to reduced electrode efficiency for hydrogen production. Thus, the use of high currents may not always be advantageous in hydrogen production using the PEM water electrolysis method.

Abstract

Research on hydrogen production from aluminum waste using the aluminum-water method using potassium as an activator has been successfully carried out. This research aims to determine the performance of the potassium activator in hydrogen production with variable water volume and potassium percentage. Hydrogen gas production is carried out using 60 mesh aluminum waste. Optimum conditions were achieved when a mass of 1 gram of aluminum was reacted with an additional volume of water of 1.5 mL, and 7% w/w of the activator mass, with the production of hydrogen gas of 553 mL at a production rate of 69 mL/minute.

Abstract

The increasing consumption of cooking oil has led to a significant rise in waste cooking oil (WCO) production, posing serious health and environmental risks. Improper disposal of WCO contributes to water and soil pollution, while its repeated use in cooking has been linked to various health issues, including cardiovascular diseases and cancer. This community service programme aimed to raise awareness among housewives in Desa Sumber Rejo, Banyuasin, regarding the dangers of WCO through educational training. The study employed an interactive discussion approach, beginning with a questionnaire to assess participants' prior knowledge, followed by a socialisation session, and concluding with a post-test evaluation. The results revealed that approximately 80% of participants were unaware of WCO hazards before the training. However, post-training assessments showed a significant improvement in understanding, highlighting the effectiveness of targeted educational interventions. This programme underscores the importance of continuous awareness efforts and the promotion of sustainable WCO management practices, such as its potential repurposing into biodiesel or soap, to mitigate its negative impact on health and the environment.

Abstract

Methanol (MeOH) and ethanol (EtOH) are commonly used fuels in Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells (DAFC). The advantages of these two fuels are influenced by electrochemical reactions centered around the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA). In this study, Pt/C catalyst was used on the cathode and Pt-Ru/C on the anode, with catalyst loadings of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mg/cm2. The anode and cathode were characterized using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), while the conductivity properties were evaluated through Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) of the MEA in a single DAFC cell reached 0.65 V, with the highest value observed at a MeOH:EtOH volume ratio of 70:30 at concentrations of 3 M for MeOH and 2 M for EtOH. In addition to oxidation at the anode, oxygen reduction plays a significant role in the MEA performance on the cathode side. The oxygen supply to the cathode increased the power density by 52.17% at the optimal blower voltage of 5 V.
