Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 26Lowering the Sintering Temperature of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Electrolytes by Infiltration(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Sındıraç, Can; Çakırlar, Seda; Büyükaksoy, Aligül; Akkurt, SedatA dense electrolyte with a relative density of over 95% is vital to prevent gas leakage and thus the achievement of high open circuit voltage in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The densification process of ceria based electrolyte requires high temperatures heat treatment (i.e. 1400-1500 degrees C). Thus, the minimum co-sintering temperatures of the anode-electrode bilayers are fixed at these values, resulting in coarse anode microstructures and consequently poor performance. The main purpose of this study is to densify gadolinia doped ceria (GDC), a common SOFC electrolyte, at temperatures lower than 1400 degrees C. By this aim, an approach involving the infiltration of polymeric precursors into porous electrolyte scaffolds, a method commonly used for composite SOFC electrodes, is proposed. By infiltrating polymeric precursors of GDC into porous GDC scaffolds, a reduction in the sintering temperature by at least 200 degrees C is achieved with no additives that might affect the electrical properties. Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy line scan analyses performed on porous GDC scaffolds infiltrated by a marker solution (polymeric FeOx precursor in this case) reveals a homogeneous infiltrated phase distribution, demonstrating the effectiveness of polymeric precursors.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Novel Hybrid Process for the Conversion of Microcrystalline Cellulose To Value-Added Chemicals: Part 2: Effect of Constant Voltage on Product Selectivity(Springer Verlag, 2017) Akın, Okan; Yüksel, AslıIn this study, electrochemical degradation of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) under hot-compressed water was investigated via application of constant voltage on reaction medium. Constant voltage ranges from 2.5 to 8.0 V was applied between anode (Titanium) and cathode (reactor wall). As an electrolyte and proton source 5–25 mM of H2SO4 was used. Reactions were carried out in a specially designed batch reactor (450 mL) made of T316 for 240 min at temperature of 200 °C.MCC decomposition products such as glucose, fructose, furfural, 5-HMF and levulinic acid were detected and quantified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In the absence of electrolyte, applied voltage (2.5 and 4.0 V) decreased the total organic carbon (TOC) yield, in contrast at 8.0 V, TOC yield increased to 13%. Application of 8.0 V in hydrothermal conditions alter MCC decomposition pathway selectively to furfural (15%). Addition of electrolyte (5 mM, H2SO4) and application of 2.5 V potential increased TOC (54%) and changed the decomposition pathway in favor of 5-HMF (30%) and levulinic acid (21%). The structural changes in solid residues of electrochemically reacted MCC was analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and found that MCC particles functionalized by carboxylic acid and sulfonated groups by the application of constant voltage to reaction medium. In the presence of electrolyte, under certain voltage (2.5 V), functionalization of solid particles became more obvious in FTIR spectrum results. Therefore, change in the selectivity values of degradation products were conducted with the functionalization of MCC particles due to applied voltage under sub-critical conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 12Effect of Calcium Hydroxide on Slip Casting Behaviour(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Şakar Deliormanlı, Aylin; Yayla, ZelihaThe effect of calcium hydroxide addition on the casting performance of ceramic slips for sanitary ware was studied. Powder composed of feldspar (24 wt.%), quartz (24 wt.%), kaolin (35 wt.%) and ball clay (17 wt.%) was mixed with water to contain 65 wt.% of solids (specific density 1800 g/l). Either Ca(OH)2 or Na2CO3 was added at concentrations ranging between 0.060 and 0.085 wt.% and the slurries were dispersed by the optimum addition of sodium silicate. Calcium hydroxide in presence of sodium silicate improved the casting behavior of the slips, lowering the viscosity, and water absorption, increasing bending strength and cake thickness, as compared to the addition of sodium carbonateArticle Citation - WoS: 89Citation - Scopus: 103Group 15 Quaternary Alkyl Bistriflimides: Ionic Liquids With Potential Application in Electropositive Metal Deposition and as Supporting Electrolytes(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2002) Bhatt, Anand I.; May, Iain; Volkovich, Vladimir A.; Hetherington, Melissa E.; Lewin, Bob G.; Thied, Robert C.; Ertok, NigarThe eletrochemical properties of Group 15 quaternary alkyl bistriflimides salts were reported. The ionic liquids with potential application in electropositive metal deposition when used as supporting electrolytes in MeCN was also discussed. It was found that the three Group 15 based ionic liquids that were prepared have extremely large electrochemical windows.
