Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Nanoarchitectonics Approach To Graphite/Starch-supported Bioelectrode for Enhanced Supercapacitor Performance(Elsevier, 2025) Goren, Aysegul Yagmur; Dincer, IbrahimThere has been an increasing interest in finding suitable materials for supercapacitor applications in response to the growing need for energy, to use alternative energy sources to fossil fuels in addition to energy storage. In this regard, bio-based carbon-loaded materials can be a promising option for high-performance supercapacitors because of their abundance, diversity, and reproducibility with waste management strategies. In this study, a new graphite-loaded bioelectrode is synthesized for supercapacitor application. The electrochemical performance of the synthesized electrode is tested at room temperature using the cyclic voltammetry method, and the capacity and energy density of the electrodes are evaluated. The electrochemical performance of 1 g of graphiteloaded bioelectrode was 3.5 mA/cm2, while the specific capacitance value was 355.6 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g. Furthermore, the bioelectrode provided significant cyclic stability with 93.5% in specific capacitance value after 5000 charge/discharge cycles at the current density of 0.5 A/g. Consequently, the synthesized bioelectrode can be a promising option for energy storage as a sustainable electrode due to its superior conductivity, stability, and low cost.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Experimental Study for Recovery of Heavy Metals From Contaminated Soil Using Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2025) Budak, Bulent; Onay, Turgut T.; Goren, Aysegul Yagmur; Khalvati, AliSoil micro-organisms like arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can provide beneficial symbiosis to their host plant and have been adopted to recover metal-polluted soils. This study investigates the removal of heavy metals from soil using phytoremediation in the presence of fungi. The results indicate that the sunflower plant illustrates the highest copper accumulation, with 18.55 mg/kg. In contrast, sunflower and sorghum controls (non-microorganisms) showed weak capability to transfer copper through plant biomass with 0.91 and 0.97 mg/kg, respectively. Both plants showed that phytoremediation can be a promising approach to providing sustainable solutions for soil heavy metal contamination in the presence of fungi.Article Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination and Removal Using <i>ceratophyllum Demersum</I> L.: a Case Study(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2024) Karaoglu, Aybike Gul; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Kobya, Mehmet; Goren, Aysegul Yagmur; Mese, Esra; Tepe, MelikeAssessment of heavy metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems continues to remain challenging. In this regard, Ceratophyllum demersum L. (C. demersum L.) is a common species found in rivers and can be used as a bioindicator to see the accumulation of heavy metals in the plant body. In this study, we aimed to investigate the accumulation of toxic metals and their effects on photosynthetic pigment content in plants for different seasons. The highest metal accumulations were observed in October 2019. The mean boron concentrations were 399 mg/kg in October 2019, while they were measured as 163 mg/kg in July 2020, most probably due to the decreasing agricultural activities in the studied area. However, the highest metal concentrations (aluminium 3,941 mg/kg and iron 5,161 mg/kg) were measured in July 2010. Moreover, the pigment content values were decreased with the increasing metal concentration in plants. The highest pigment content of 4.7 mu g/g was observed in October 2019, related to the low metal contamination in this season. Overall, C. demersum L. is a promising bioindicator of heavy metal pollution in water bodies with a significant amount of heavy metal accumulation capacity in a sustainable manner.
