Journal of Materials Exploration and Findings

Currently, Indonesia is progressing to build 35,000 MW of power plants, which will increase the demand for materials, especially steel. One of these power plants is fossil fuel-based, which generates not only electricity but also flue gas containing sulfur that may cause corrosion to power plant infrastructure such as chimney or boiler areas. In addition, apart from being resistant to corrosion in sulfuric and hydrochloric acid conditions, the steel used in power plant infrastructure must also have good strength, toughness, and weldability. Therefore, the present paper describes about steel development for power plant applications that has not only corrosion resistance …

Journal of Electrochemistry

As a promising 2D material, graphene exhibits excellent physical properties including single-atom-scale thickness and remarkably high charge carrier mobility. However, its semi-metallic nature with a zero bandgap poses challenges for its application in high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs). In order to overcome these limitations, various approaches have been explored to modulate graphene's bandgap, including nanoscale confinement, external field induction, doping, and chemical micropatterning. Nevertheless, the stability and controllability still need to be improved. In this study, we propose a feasible method that combines electrochemical bromination and photolithography to precisely tune the electron transport properties of single layer graphene (SLG).
