Preparasi katalis Cr2O3/nGO dilakukan dengan impregnasi menggunakan alat ultrasonic cleaner sesuai dengan tiga perbandingan massa Cr2O3/nGO yaitu 0,125/1 ; 0,25/1 ; 0,5/1. Analisis X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) menunjukkan katalis berukuran 28,19 ; 26,30 dan 26,31 nm. Analisis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) menunjukkan nilai energi celah pita sebesar 1,70 ; 1,77 dan 1,80 eV. Analisis Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) menunjukkan bahwa Cr2O3 terdistribusi merata pada permukaan nGO. Nanoselulosa telah dipreparasi menggunakan metode delignifikasi, bleaching dan hidrolisis asam sehingga diperoleh nanoselulosa berukuran 16,52 nm dan mempunyai indeks kristalinitas sebesar 33,03%. Nanoselulosa dikonversi menjadi gula alkohol menggunakan Cr2O3/nGO di bawah sinar UV disertai aliran gas H2 dengan variasi waktu 1, 2, 3, 4 dan 5 jam. Hasil konversi menunjukkan bahwa persentase nanoselulosa terkonversi tertinggi sebesar 36,38% pada variasi katalis 1 nGO : 0,5 Cr2O3 dengan waktu konversi selama 4 jam. Analisis High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) menunjukkan katalis Cr2O3/nGO mampu mengkonversi nanoselulosa menjadi glukosa dengan konsentrasi 56 ppm glukosa, namun belum mampu mengkonversi nanoselulosa menjadi gula alkohol. Kata Kunci : Cr2O3, nGO, nanoselulosa, gula alkohol, konversi In this research, the preparation of the Cr2O3 catalyst using the precipitationgelation method and the preparation of nGO using the modified Hummers method were conducted. Furthermore, the preparation of the Cr2O3/nGO catalyst was carried out using the impregnation method with the help of an ultrasonic cleaner with three mass ratios of Cr2O3 to nGO which are 0.125/1, 0.25/1, and 0.5/1. XRay Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the particle sizes of the catalyst were 28.19 nm, 26.30 nm, and 26.31 nm. Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) analysis showed band gap energy values of 1.70 eV, 1.77 eV, and 1.80 eV. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) study showed an even distribution on the surface of Cr2O3/nGO. Nanocellulose was prepared using delignification, bleaching, and acid hydrolysis methods to obtain nanocellulose with a particle size of 16.52 nm with a crystallinity index of 33.03%. Nanocellulose was converted to sugar alcohol using Cr2O3/nGO under UV light irradiation accompanied by H2 gas flow with time variation of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hours. The conversion results showed that the highest percentage of nanocellulose conversion was 36.38%, with a Cr2O3/nGO catalyst ratio of 0.5/1 and a reaction time of 4 hours. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that Cr2O3/nGO catalyst could convert nanocellulose into glucose with a concentration of 56 ppm. Still, it was not able to convert nanocellulose into sugar alcohols.
