Pada penelitian ini telah dilakukan sintesis antara serbuk partikel nano TiO2 dan serbuk partikel nano ZnO menjadi pasta yang akan diaplikasikan sebagai elektroda pada dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Elektroda pada DSSC ini bekerja berdasarkan adsorbsi foton oleh pewarna, elektron yang tereksitasi ditransfer ke TiO2/ZnO yang mempunyai perbandingan berbeda. Dimensi material partikel nano TiO2/ZnO sebagai elektroda sangat penting untuk menghasilkan efisiensi yang lebih tinggi pada DSSC. Sifat ini sangat dipengaruh oleh metoda pabrikasi elektroda TiO2/ZnO dan parameternya. Pada penelitian ini digunakan metoda doctor blade untuk pabrikasi DSSC dan larutan dyes (Z907) sebagai zat pewarna. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pencampuran serbuk TiO2 dan serbuk ZnO sebagai elektroda. Teknik pembuatan pasta TiO2/ZnO sebagai elektroda sangat penting untuk menghasilkan efisiensi tinggi pada DSSC. Teknik ini sangat terkait dengan material TiO2/ZnO, metoda pabrikasi, dan parameter pengukurannya. Dalam penelitian ini dibahas hasil karakterisasi XRD pada kedua serbuk TiO2 dan ZnO, hasil SEM pada pencampuran kedua material, hasil pengujian IPCE serta hasil pengukuran effisiensi pada pengujian I - V.

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) was blent with sodium alginate (SA) and chitosan (CS) respectively in order to enhance flexibility and compatibility of bipolar membrane(BPM). The PVA-mSA/mCS BPM was prepared by a paste method. The PVA/ SA and the PVA / CS was cross-linked by inorganic nano-materials and glutaraldehyde(GA), respectively. The SEM photographs showed the PVA-ZnO-SA/mCS BPM was consists of anion layer and cation layer. The thickness of the BPM was 121μm, the interface of BPM was 5μm. The Electronic spectrum (EDS) indicated that ZnO well-distributed in cation layer. The J-V curve and the AC impedances of PVA-ZnO-SA/mCS BPM showed lower working voltage and smaller membrane impedance. The contact Angle of PVA-ZnO-SA/mCS dropped down from the original 101.01° to 32.65°. Compared of TG curves of the BPMs modified by nano-Fe3O4, nano-TiO2 and nano-ZnO, the surface of the PVA-ZnO-SA/mCS BPM exhibited stronger hydrophilic. The dopping nano-ZnO improved the hydrophilic property, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the PVA-ZnO-SA/mCS.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the eco-cytotoxicity of several forms of nanomaterials (NM), such as nano-CuO, nano-TiO2, nano-SiO2 and nano-ZnO, on different aquatic species (Raphidocelis subcapitata, Daphnia magna and Lemna minor) following standard protocols and on human cell lines (Caco-2, SV-80, HepG2 and HaCaT). Predicted no-effect concentrations (PNEC) or hazard concentrations for 5% of the species (HC5) were also estimated based on the compilation of data available in the literature. Most of the NM agglomerated strongly in the selected culture media. For the ecotoxicity assays, nano-CuO and nano-ZnO even in particle agglomeration state were the most toxic NM to the freshwater organisms compared to nano-TiO2 and nano-SiO2. Nano-ZnO was the most toxic NM to R. subcapitata and D. magna, while nano-CuO was found to be very toxic to L. minor. Nano-CuO was very toxic to Caco-2 and HepG2 cells, particularly at the highest tested concentrations, while the other NM showed no toxicity to the different cell lines. The HC5 and PNEC values are still highly protective, due to data limitations. However, the present study provides consistent evidence of the potential risks of both nano-CuO and nano-ZnO against aquatic organisms and also their effects on public health.
