Geopolymer synthesis has two main requirements to fulfill which are the source material that is rich in Silicon (Si) and Aluminum (Al) and alkali activator such as sodium/potassium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is widely used for the synthesis of geopolymer compared to potassium hydroxide (KOH)...
