Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7A Comparative Study on Structural, Morphological and Photocatalytic Properties of Anodically Grown Zno Nanowires Under Varying Parameters(Springer, 2021) Özdemir, Erdem Tevfik; Kartal, Uğur; Dikici, Tuncay; Erol, Mustafa; Yurddaskal, MetinIn this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) were successfully produced on Zn plates through electrochemical anodization in potassium bicarbonate aqueous electrolytes with different production parameters in two groups as applied voltage and anodization time. Subsequently, the ZnO NWs were annealed at 300 degrees C for 1 h in air atmosphere to increase crystallinity and remove organic residues. Structural and morphological properties were determined through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The effect of anodization parameters on the structure of ZnO NWs and thus their photocatalytic activities were evaluated in detail by UV spectrophotometer. The results pointed out that, the most effective nanostructure on the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue was obtained in the sample that was anodized for 30 min under 30 V at room temperature with a degradation efficiency of 90.6% after 11 h. This result shows that the NW-structured ZnO materials are promising to be used as effective photocatalysts in the removal of organic pollutants by solar energy and their conversion to green compounds.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Formation and Characterisation of Nanoporous Tio2 Layers on Microroughened Titanium Surfaces by Electrochemical Anodisation(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2014) Dikici, Tuncay; Güzelaydın, Abdurrahman Halis; Toparlı, MustafaNanoporous titanium dioxide (TiO2) layers were successfully formed by an electrochemical anodisation method on microroughened titanium (Ti) surfaces in fluoride containing aqueous electrolyte. Microroughened Ti surfaces were produced by sandblasting with Al2O3 particles of 50 μm in diameter and acid-etching in a blend of HCl/H2SO4 solution. The surface morphology, topography and chemical composition of the specimens were analysed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The surface roughness and the wettability of treated Ti surfaces were measured using profilometry and a contact angle measurement system, respectively. With anodising of sandblasted-/acid etched surfaces, micrometre- and nanometre-scale textures on titanium specimens were created. Results showed that these developed nanoporous-microroughened surfaces exhibited lower contact angle values than the other treated Ti surfaces. The sandblasted/acid-etched/anodised Ti specimen had a surface morphology with distinctively formed hills and valleys and higher surface roughness than the other anodised specimens. This study indicated that nanoporous TiO2 structures fabricated on microroughened Ti can be an effective way to modify the titanium surfaces for the future development of implant applications.
