Master’s Student in Chemistry at Diponegoro University, Brainy Happy Ana Tasiman, Makes a Breakthrough in Photocatalysis
In the realm of chemical research, Brainy Happy Ana Tasiman, a master’s student at Diponegoro University, has successfully made a breakthrough through her thesis titled “Synthesis and Characterization of Bismuth Oxide/Carbon Quantum Dots Photocatalyst as a Degrading Agent for Dyes.”
Degrading Dyes with Photocatalysis
This research focuses on the development of an effective photocatalyst for degrading various types of dyes. Brainy Happy Ana Tasiman chose to combine Bismuth Oxide (Bi2O3) with Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) as a photocatalytic agent. The addition of CQDs is expected to optimize the photocatalytic process in degrading complex dyes.
Innovative Material Synthesis
In her thesis, Brainy Happy Ana Tasiman successfully synthesized an innovative material, namely the Bismuth Oxide photocatalyst enriched with Carbon Quantum Dots. This synthesis process involved meticulous steps to ensure efficient integration between Bismuth Oxide and CQDs, resulting in a material with superior photocatalytic properties.
Optimizing the Photocatalysis Process
This research proves that the addition of CQDs significantly enhances the performance of Bismuth Oxide photocatalysis in degrading dyes. This success could pave the way for the development of new methods to clean water contaminated by industrial dye pollutants.
The Importance of Liquid Waste Management
On a global scale, the management of liquid waste from textile, dyeing, and chemical industries often poses a serious challenge. Brainy Happy Ana Tasiman’s research makes a positive contribution to environmentally friendly solutions to address this issue.
Hope for a Cleaner Future
The thesis advisor, research colleagues, and students at Diponegoro University highly appreciate Brainy Happy Ana Tasiman’s contribution to this research. This breakthrough is not only a step forward in the field of chemistry but also opens opportunities to create a cleaner future through the development of photocatalysis technology.
Diponegoro University Continues to Encourage Innovation
Diponegoro University proudly supports research and innovation efforts that can provide real solutions to global environmental challenges. The hope is that this research can serve as a starting point for further studies in the development of photocatalysts for cleaning water from dyes and other pollutants.
