    Plasmon-Enhanced Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Activity of Gold Nanoparticles-Decorated Hematite Nanostructures
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Emre, Alp; İmamoğlu, Rizvan; Savacı, Umut; Turan, Servet; Kazmalı, M. Kürşat; Genç, Aziz
    Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) nanoparticles have received significant attention from the researchers due to their favorable and desirable properties in diverse applications. In the present study, single-crystalline hematite pseudo-nanocubes and porous nanorods were synthesized by the hydrothermal route without the usage of any surfactant agents, which were then decorated with gold nanoparticles hidrothermally in an aqueous solution in order to increase the solar energy conversion efficiency. The photocatalytic activities of synthesized nanoparticles were studied against Rhodamine B (RhB) under the illumination of AM 1.5 solar simulator. The excellent photocatalytic efficiency was obtained by changing morphological features of hematite nanostructures, along with the photocatalytic performance enhancement up to 25% thanks to the surface plasmon resonances for the gold nanoparticles-decorated hematite nanostructures. For instance, gold-nanoparticles decorated hematite pseudo-nanocubes almost completely degraded all the RhB after 30 min of illumination. It was also observed that all hematite products, with and without gold decoration, exhibited an impressive antibacterial effect and showed the lethal effect in E.coli. The same nanoparticles being photocatalytically active for organic pollutant degradation and having antibacterial effect may have a good potential for waste water remediation applications.

    Open Cell Lead Foams: Processing, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties
    (Springer Verlag, 2012) Savacı, Umut; Yılmaz, Sinan; Güden, Mustafa
    Open cell lead foams with the porosities between 48 and 74 % were prepared by means of powder metallurgical and casting routes, using ammonium bicarbonate particles, silica beads, and sodium chloride salt particles as space holder. The resulting foam samples structure closely resembled open cell foam structure: each cell had few interconnections with neighboring cells. Small-sized lead (II) fluoride precipitates were microscopically observed in the interior of cells in the foam samples prepared using silica beads as space holder, resulting from the reaction between silica and hydrofluoric acid in the space holder dissolution step. The compression stress–strain curve of foam samples prepared by powder metallurgical route showed brittle deformation behavior following the initial elastic deformation region, while the foam samples prepared by casting route showed characteristic foam deformation behavior: cell edge crushing on the bent cell walls, and cell wall tearing. The collapse stresses, densification strains, and elastic moduli of the prepared foams were further fitted with scaling relations.
