Desain, pembuatan dan modifikasi material (Adsorben dan Fotokatalis) untuk Energi dan Lingkungan

The current and important issues that are developing todays are the energy and environmental issues (Kudo et al., 2008). The depletion of fossil fuel sources requires us to look for other energy alternatives for the long term. One of the promising energy sources is solar energy. But it is not possible to utilize solar energy without a medium. One of the media that can be a bridge to connect solar energy with daily needs is photocatalyst.
Photocatalyst applications currently cover several areas, including as the hydrogen gas production (Chen et al, 2011), industrial and agricultural waste processing (Gupta et al, 2011), disinfection processes in drinking water (Gamage et al, 2014), chemical synthesis, gas sensors (Suman et al, 2015), and self cleaning agents.
