DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
ELECTROCHEMICAL ENGINEERING LAB
The field of chemical engineering has broadened from the traditional one, that typically based on petroleum and petrochemical industries, to be an interdisciplinary area. We aim to advance chemical engineering education through research on synthesis and characterization of new electrode materials to the design of industrial electrochemical reactors.
FASCINATING ELECTROCHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND EXCITING RESEARCH AREAS
The research interests of the Electrochemical Engineering Laboratory range from synthesis and characterization of new electrode materials to to the design of industrial electrochemical reactors. Research in our group centers around nanoparticles and nanostructure porous materials derived from biomass and natural resources for their applications in electrochemical energy storage and conversion technology.

Cellulose aerogel has excellent properties due to its very high surface area and large pore volume. We developed a process to manufacture such materials from coir fiber and other abundant natural biomass. The aerogel have many potential applications such as adsorbent for dyes and absorbent for oil spill. It may be carbonized to produce carbon aerogel having extraordinary properties suitable for many applications. Read more
N-doped carbon aerogel possessing honeycomb-like structure of internal pores in individual fibers has been successfully prepared from coir fibers using our proposed method via one-step route of ammonia-urea system. The non-ordered porous carbon aerogel has very high surface area, >3500 m2/g and large pore volume. The aerogels have many potential applications such as as solid acid catalyst for esterification, electrocatalyst in metal-air batteries and fuel cells, and so on. Read more
Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have many potential applications for environment, biomedical, and energy storage and conversion. We proposed been a simple electrooxidation of iron in water. No chemicals other than water are used. Alternating monopolar configuration has been demonstrated to be able to produce high-throughput production of the nanoparticles. The electrochemical reactor is easy to scale-up for mass production. Read more

Paper sintesa elektrokimia nanopartikel yang menginspirasi
Pada tahun 2012 lab kami berhasil mempublikasikan hasil penelitian kami tentang pengembangan metoda untuk mensintesis nanopartikel magnetite (Fe3O4) dengan elektro-oksidasi besi dalam air di Advanced Powder Technology. Paper ini pernah menjadi salah satu paper yang masuk dalam the most cited articles untuk artikel yang terbit di jurnal tersebut untuk periode 5 tahun 2011-2015 (baca disini). […]
Yang datang dan yang pergi di awal 2021
Semester gasal 2020/2021 ini Lab meluluskan 2 sarjana dan menerima 2 mahasiswa doktor dan 4 mahasiswa magister. Berhubung saat ini sedang ada pandemi COVID-19 yang tidak memungkinkan untuk bertatap muka langsung, tidak ada perpisahan dan penyambutan seperti biasanya. Bagi yang lulus, selamat kalian telah berhasil menuntaskan pendidikan di Departemen Teknik Kimia ITS. Semoga sukses di […]
BUKU & MATERI KULIAH
Beberapa modul kuliah dapat dibaca dan diunduh di sini. Modul yang tersedia adalah Proses Perpindahan (html dan pdf) yang meliputi analogi perpindahan, dan perpindahan panas dan massa dan Kimia Fisika (pdf) yang meliputi wujud zat, teori kinetika gas, larutan, elektrokimia dan kimia permukaan (sol, adsorpsi, dll.).
Saya bangga menjadi salah satu alumni lab Elkimkor dikarenakan merupakan lab teravorit di angkatan 2013, sehingga untuk bisa masuk perlu perjuangan nilai yang tinggi. Setelah masuk menjadi salah satu member, saya merasa termotivasi dalam banyak kegiatan dikarenakan member-membernya adalah orang-orang yang berkualitas dan berwawasan tinggi. Dan juga memiliki kekeluargaan yang tinggi pula. Selama masa pembimbingan pun para dosen pembimbing sangat banyak membantu dan memberikan banyak pencerahan dan juga wawasan. Sehingga saya sebagai mahasiswi pada saat itu terpacu untuk menjalakankan penelitian. Semoga lab Elkimkor selalu menjadi lab terfavorit para mahasiswa dan sukses selalu.
