Physics

The Physics Study Program at Universitas Samudra offers a unique approach to research with a communal vision centered on the application of hydrogen fuel cell generators for vehicles. This vision is supported by a series of targeted research initiatives. The program has already embarked on developing hydrogen storage catalyst materials based on MgH2. Moving forward, it will evaluate the effects of composite materials such as Mg2H2/CaO and MgH2/Fe2O3 to produce hydrogen from water (H2O) through electrolysis. The study further aims to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell electricity by using a composite polymer membrane integrated with activated carbon derived from natural sources, such as empty oil palm bunches. Achieving this vision will provide substantial contributions to the field of renewable energy, particularly in sustainable vehicular technology. The commitment to this ambitious research underscores the program’s role in pushing the boundaries of alternative energy solutions. Supporting this vision is the well-equipped physics laboratory at Universitas Samudra, which plays a critical role in facilitating these advanced research efforts. This comprehensive laboratory infrastructure enables the study program to explore innovative solutions effectively and supports the realization of its research objectives. This combination of a clear research direction, cutting-edge laboratory facilities, and focused development on practical applications in renewable energy marks the distinctive nature of the Physics Study Program at Universitas Samudra.
