Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: “Sesungguhnya telah diturunkan kepadaku pada waktu
malam sebuah Surah yang aku cintai lebih dari dunia ini dan isinya.” Pada riwayat
yang lain, “yang lebih aku cintai daripada apa yang disinari oleh cahaya matahari.”
Dan kemudian baginda membaca: “Innaa fatahnaa laka fatham mubiinaa (ayat
pertama Surah al-Fath).” (Riwayat Bukhari)

Start with problem
Fuel sell powered vehicles that run
from hydrogen
How to produce the hydrogen
cheaper & how to store it safely
Problem solver (Researchers)
Form of new catalyst: Platinum nanoparticles
Problems:
-Expensive
-can be easily deactivated in the presence off low levels
of carbon monoxide rendering
the fuel cell inoperable
Resolution
Catalyst using platinum nano particles
deposited on a support material of titanium
oxide.
Added tungsten to increase the electrical
conductivity of the catalyst
Result: Platinum catalyst is 2,000 times more
resistant to carbon monoxide
Alternative fossil fuel

12. Collecting matured oil palm leaves
Washing the leaves with the running tab water then shred
the washed leaves into small pieces
Heat the shredded leaves with distilled water
(ratio of leaves to distilled water, temperature and heating time will be
investigated)
Filter the solution and collect the oil palm leaves extract for the
synthesis
(composition of the extract will be evaluated using GC-MS and
FTIR)
Synthesis of Pt nanoparticles (reduction
temperature and time will be investigated)
FTIR & XRD
(identify the purity of the Pt
nanoparticles)
UV-vis (identify the extant of
reaction, kinetic and yield)
SEM and TEM (identify the
shape and the size of the
nanoparticles)
