Supercapacitors can be called electrostatic double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) or pseudo-capacitors based on their energy storage mechanism. Pseudo-capacitors with metal oxide electrodes that transmit electric charge offer great application power but low stability. This study aims to characterize trisodium citrate (TSC) modified NiCo2O4/rGO electrodes as a preliminary study for the NiCo2O4 nanoparticle pseudo-capacitor. The materials were characterized using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), XRD (X-Ray Diffractometer), FT-Raman (Fourier Transform Raman Spectroscopy), and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). All of these analyses confirmed that NiCo2O4 was manufactured successfully using TSC. At XRD, the angles of 2????, namely 45.04 and 53.34°, matched the plane of the cubic phase nanorod crystals of NiCo2O4 with values of 400 and 511, respectively. In the Raman examination, the presence of rGO, which increased the crystallinity of NiCo2O4 nanoparticles, was confirmed. FTIR analysis indicated that the 1550-1600 cm−1 corresponds to a C=C functional group in an aromatic ring or a C=O ????-???? structure, and the wavenumber of 2300 cm−1 corresponds to the OH group in TSC, an alkanoate derivative. SEM analysis determined that NiCo2O4 nanoparticles with 1 mmol TSC are the ideal material for supercapacitor electrodes, as the structure is the most uniform, soft, and tidy. Further analysis is needed to confirm the stability of the modified material.
Sistem penguncian locker sangat penting bagi instansi-instansi yang memberikan layanan-layanan umum seperti penitipan barang di supermarket, perusahaan, sport center, sekolah atau kampus. Bahkan penggunaan locker dapat diaplikasikan di rumah. Kebanyakan dari pemilik instansi tersebut masih menggunakan penguncian manual yang cenderung memiliki banyak kelemahan. Pada penelitian ini, sistem yang dibangun adalah sistem penguncian locker dengan memanfaatkan teknologi RFID, NodeMCU, Web aplikasi serta sistem keamanan. RFID digunakan sebagai sistem akses locker. Sistem ini menggunakan satu RFID reader untuk multiple locker, dan logic pengolahan data terletak pada NodeMCU. Web aplikasi yang dibangun digunakan admin untuk mendaftarkan user berupa identitas dan ID pada database. Sistem berhasil dibuat sesuai dengan skenario yang diharapkan. User yang memiliki id yang sesuai dapat mengakses locker, dan yang tidak sesuai tidak dapat mengakses locker. Sistem ini juga menggunakan tag master yang hanya dimiliki admin untuk dapat mengakses setiap locker user yang mengalami kehilangan tag atau kerusakan tag.
We have developed a photoacoustic (PA) measurement system using a broadband ultrasonic transducer to detect the PA signals induced in a gold nanorod (GNRs) colloid irradiated by the nanosecond-pulsed laser beam. This study will investigate the PA signals of PEG-GNRs at longitudinal surface plasmon resonance. Several factors including aspect ratio of GNR, pulse energy, concentration, and wavelength are varied to investigate these effects on the PA signal. We show that at the certain condition the generated PA signal of PEG-GNRs stronger than uncoated GNRs. Moreover, the PA signals of PEGGNRs are more stable than uncoated GNRs in the same condition.

Pemotongan rumput secara manual masih sering dilakukan oleh sebagian pemilik pekarangan atau ladang rumput yang luas sehingga menimbulkan kebosanan dan kelelahan. Kegiatan pemotongan rumput ini juga membutuhkan banyak waktu dan tenaga. Salah satu penemuan mesin pemotong rumput adalah mesin pemotong rumput gendong. Penemuan ini juga memiliki beberapa kelemahan seperti menimbulkan polusi udara dan suara yang sangat mengganggu masyarakat sekitar. Selain itu pemotongan manual ini juga merupakan pekerjaan yang monoton dan berbahaya. Robot pemotong rumput juga telah diperkenalkan dan tentunya memiliki biaya yang tinggi. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini kami berhasil membuat prototipe mesin pemotong rumput yang lebih ekonomis dari segi biaya, energi, dan polusi dengan memanfaatkan Raspberry Pi 3 sebagai mikrokontroler. Prototipe dirancang dengan panjang 24,5 cm dan lebar 22 cm serta dilengkapi dengan pisau mekanik pada bagian depan yang memiliki arah putaran ke bawah. Prototipe ini juga dilengkapi dengan sensor Infrared yang dapat mendeteksi pembatas area untuk menghindari tabrakan. Area pengujian adalah 2x2 meter tanpa hambatan di dalamnya. Jalur pemotongan telah ditentukan menggunakan algoritma SLAM dimana robot memotong rumput dengan jalur berbentuk S. Kami menunjukkan bahwa robot berjalan sesuai dengan algoritma dan memotong rumput dengan sempurna.Manual grass cutting is still often done by some owners of large yards or fields which causes boredom and fatigue. This activity also requires a lot of time and effort. One of the inventions of the lawnmower is the carrying grass cutting the machine. This invention also has several drawbacks such as causing air pollution and noise which is very disturbing to the surrounding community, monotonous and dangerous work. The lawnmower robot has also been introduced with various programs set in it and of course, has a high cost. Therefore, in this research, we succeeded in making a prototype lawn mower that is more economical in terms of cost, energy, and pollution by utilizing the Raspberry Pi 3 as a microcontroller. The prototype is designed with a length of 24.5 cm and a width of 22 cm and is equipped with a mechanical knife on the front which has a downward rotation direction. The prototype is also equipped with an IR sensor that can detect area delimiters to avoid collisions. The test area is 2x2 meters without any obstacles in it. The mowing path has been determined using the SLAM algorithm wherein the robot cuts the grass in an S-shaped path. We show that the prototype robot runs according to the algorithm and cuts the grass perfectly. for further work it is necessary to apply a different algorithm that can detect any obstacles in the test area.
