Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Magnesium-Ion Battery Anode From Polymer-Derived Sioc Nanobeads(Wiley, 2023) Guo, Wuqi; Kober, Delf; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Bekheet, Maged F.; İçin, Öykü; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyTin-containing silicon oxycarbide (SiOC/Sn) nanobeads are synthesized with different carbon/tin content and tested as electrodes for magnesium-ion batteries. The synthesized ceramics are characterized by thermogravimetric-mass spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, N2 sorption analysis, scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray, and elemental analysis. Galvanostatic cycling tests, rate performance tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests, and ex situ XRD measurements are conducted. Results of battery performance tests present a high capacity of 198.2 mAh g-1 after the first discharging and a reversible capacity of 144.5 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 500 mA g-1. Excellent rate performance efficiency of 85.2% is achieved. Battery performances in this research are influenced by surface area, and tin contentof the SiOC/Sn nanobeads. EIS, CV tests, and ex situ XRD measurements reveal that higher surface area contributes to higher capacity by providing more accessible Mg2+ ion storage sites and higher rate capability by improving the diffusion process. Higher Sn content increases battery capacity through reversible Mg-Mg2Sn-Mg alloying/dealloying process and improves the rate performances by increasing electrical conductivity. Besides, SiOC advances cycling stability by preventing electrode collapse and enhances the capacity due to higher surface capacitive effects. SiOC nanobeads containing Sn nanoparticles are synthesized and tested as anode for magnesium-ion batteries. The anodes show high performance with reversible capacity of 144.5 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 500 mA g-1 and excellent rate performance efficiency of 85.2% from 50 to 500 mA g-1.imageArticle Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Design and Performance Comparison of Polymer-Derived Ceramic Ambigels and Aerogels(American Chemical Society, 2023) Soraru, Gian Domenico; İçin, Öykü; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis work reports the synthesis and characterization of preceramic-and polymer-derived SiOC aerogels obtained from a commercial siloxane resin. The preceramic aerogels were obtained by ambient pressure drying (ambigels) and CO2 supercritical drying. Despite different drying processes, the final ceramic ambi/aerogels have very similar microstructural features in density, porosity, pore size, and specific surface area. Both materials have shown promising results for oil sorption and water cleaning. Supercritically dried-SiOC aerogel had low thermal conductivity with 0.046 W.m(-1).K-1 at RT and 0.073 W.m(-1).K-1 at 500 degrees C. These results suggest that substituting the rather complicated and expensive CO2-SC drying with the more friendly and cheap ambient pressure drying can be done without having to accept significant microstructural/property degradation.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Formation of Monolithic Srtio3-Tio2 Ceramic Heterostructures by Reactive Hydrothermal Sintering(Elsevier, 2023) Karacasulu, Levent; Kartal, Uğur; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Bortolotti, Mauro; Biesuz, Mattia; Kartal, Uğur; Karacasulu, Levent; 03.09.

Faculty of EngineeringIn a one-pot approach, monolithic SrTiO3-TiO2 ceramic heterostructures were obtained using the reactive hydrothermal liquid phase densification (rHLPD). Structural, morphological, and photocatalytic properties of the obtained ceramics were analyzed. The relative density of the formed components reached about 80% with reaction time, temperature, and NaOH concentration variation. It was observed via Rietveld refinement that there was no XRD detectable phase other than TiO2 and SrTiO3 in the final structure. The monolithic SrTiO3-TiO2 ceramics obtained by hydrothermal reaction at 120 °C for 24 h in 1 M NaOH concentration showed a dielectric constant being around 500, and the dielectric loss was below 0.25 at frequencies higher than 10 kHz. The SrTiO3-TiO2 heterostructured monoliths having only 20 vol% total porosity and low specific surface area, demonstrated ∼60% efficiency (in 5 h) in degrading Methylene Blue photo-catalytically. © 2023 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Targeted Multidrug Delivery Systems To Kill Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus(Editions de Sante, 2023) Özalp, Veli Cengiz; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Ucak, Samet; Dursun, Ali D.; Sudağıdan, Mert; İçin, Öykü; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Henning, Laura M.; Simon, Ulla; Gurlo, Aleksander; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyDifferent ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) nanoparticles, ranging from regular COK-12 to COK-12 modified in terms of pore shape and size, have been employed as standard drug carriers for the controlled adsorption and release of drug molecules in comparison to well-known OMS SBA-15 and MCM-41. The cytotoxicity analysis demonstrated that regular COK-12 particles were less harmful to mammalian cultured cells, causing lower apoptosis induction than modified COK-12, MCM-41, and SBA-15 particles. Thus, regular COK-12 was further used to prepare a dual antibiotic-loaded drug delivery material, followed by surface functionalization with Staphylococcus aureus-specific aptamers for targeting. The results demonstrated that the joint loading of lysozyme and vancomycin in regular COK-12 improved the ability of the antibiotic treatments to kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus strains via aptamer targeting. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values decreased 4.1-fold and 12-fold compared to the non-targeted use of the antimicrobial agents in homogeneous solutions for vancomycin and lysozyme, respectively, clearly demonstrating the high potential of COK-12 to be used as a carrier in multidrug therapy. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Processing of Polymer-Derived, Aerogel-Filled, Sic Foams for High-Temperature Insulation(Wiley, 2023) Zambotti, Andrea; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Gargiulo, Nicola; Caputo, Domenico; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Santhosh, Balanand; Biesuz, Mattia; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyPorous polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) are outperforming materials when low-density and thermal inertia are required. In this frame, thermal insulating foams such as silicon carbide (SiC) ones possess intriguing requisites for aerospace applications, but their thermal conductivity is affected by gas phase heat transfer and, in the high temperature region, by radiative mechanisms. Owing to the versatility of the PDC route, we present a synthesis pathway to embed PDC SiC aerogels within the open cells of a SiC foam, thus sensibly decreasing the thermal conductivity at 1000 degrees C from 0.371 W center dot m(-1)K(-1) to 0.243 W center dot m(-1)K(-1). In this way, it was possible to couple the mechanical properties of the foam with the insulating ability of the aerogels.The presented synthesis was optimized by selecting, among acetone, n-hexane, and cyclohexane, the proper solvent for the gelation step of the aerogel formation to obtain a proper mesoporous colloidal structure that, after ceramization at 1000 degrees C, presents a specific surface area of 193 m(2)center dot g(-1). The so-obtained ceramic composites present a lowest density of 0.18 g center dot cm(-3), a porosity of 90% and a compressive strength of 0.76 MPa.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 33Cold Sintering as a Promising Isru Technique: a Case Study of Mars Regolith Simulant(Elsevier, 2023) Karacasulu, Levent; Karacasulu, Levent; Gurlo, Aleksander; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03. Faculty of EngineeringMars regolith simulant (MGS-1) was densified for the first time via a cold sintering process (CSP) as a novel in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) concept. The technique comprises the utilization of NaOH solution as a liquid media during the densification of simulant powder with <100 μm particle size. In as short as 30 min, with the increase in the NaOH concentration (from 3 M to 10 M) and processing temperature (from 150 °C to 250 °C), the relative densities of the regolith compacts and the mechanical properties were enhanced. The artifacts produced with Mars regolith simulant powder at 250 °C using 10 M NaOH solution yielded a relative density of around 88% and compressive strength reaching ∼45 MPa.
