Konversi Karbon Menjadi Graphene Menggunakan Metode Plasma Tegangan Tinggi Berbahan Dasar Arang Tempurung Kelapa Sawit
Carbon charcoal derived from palm kernel shell can be transformed into Graphene through the application of high-voltage plasma technology. This research evaluates the conversion capability of palm kernel shell charcoal into Graphene using high-voltage plasma technology with the Arc Discharge method and analyzes the crystallization structure using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Changes in XRD peak patterns, such as shifts and narrowing, reflect the characteristic features of the resulting Graphene. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is utilized to examine the surface structure of the converted charcoal. The Arc Discharge method is applied by flowing an electrical voltage of 220 V, using a voltage booster transformer up to 10 kV, and connecting it to rod and plate electrodes to generate high-voltage plasma. The analysis results indicate that the plasma treatment duration influences the amount of Graphene produced, with an increase in the number of Graphene layers as the treatment duration increases. There is a correlation between power dissipation (lost power) and the number of Graphene layers formed, with a 90,91% increase in power dissipation from 6,03 Wh to 66,36 Wh. This results in an 85% increase in the number of Graphene layers formed, rising from 20 layers to 37 layers.
