Article Investigation of the Experimental and Theoretical Band Gap of Pbvo3cl for Use in Energy Conversion Devices(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Harmanli, Ipek; Aytekin, Ahmet; Gol, Emre Yusuf; Eanes, Mehtap; Karabudak, EnginThe major goal of the research described in this paper is to investigate the structure of electronic band and band gap of the novel semiconductor lead (II) trioxovanadate (V) chloride (PbVO3Cl). 3 Cl). Depending on both experimental and theoretical (computational) results, the utility of PbVO3Cl 3 Cl as a semiconductor in solar fuel devices was discussed. The optical band gap was determined experimentally by applying Tauc Plot method to the absorption spectra of PbVO3Cl. 3 Cl. Additionally, computational approaches for the structure prediction of PbVO3Cl 3 Cl have been studied. The electronic band structures were examined theoretically using local density (LDA), generalized gradient (GGA), and hybrid (HSE06) approximations. PbVO3Cl, 3 Cl, which has an optical band gap of about 2.2 eV, has been shown to have promising photocatalytic properties. As a result of these approximations, the transition type of PbVO3Cl 3 Cl was determined as indirect. We also discussed the potential future application of PbVO3Cl 3 Cl in Lewis solar fuel devices as a combination of the photoanode and Si photocathode. And the solar efficiency of the PbVO3Cl-Si 3 Cl-Si double-layer semiconductor system was calculated. Further experimental proofs can be important.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Investigation of the Structural and Optical Properties of Copper-Titanium Oxide Thin Films Produced by Changing the Amount of Copper(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Horzum, Şeyda; Gürakar, Sibel; Serin, TülayWe examine how the structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2 thin films are changed with heavily copper (Cu) content. Variations in characteristic properties of the films with 0, 12.5, 25 and 50 wt% Cu contents, grown by sol-gel dip coating method, are observed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and optical spectroscopy measurements. The XRD and Raman spectra indicate that pure TiO2 film forms in the anatase structure. At high Cu concentrations, XRD results also reveal the substitution of Ti with Cu and formation of extra compound Copper-Titanium oxide. Raman measurements also show that Cu is incorporated homogeneously into TiO2 matrix up to 12.5 wt% concentration and this uniformity is distorted at higher Cu contents. In addition, optical spectroscopy measurements show that the optical band gap energy decreases from 3.26 eV to 2.05 eV with increasing Cu concentration. Furthermore, it is observed that the refractive index values obtained by means of transmittance spectra at 550 nm wavelength; increases from 2.47 to 3.39 when the Cu concentration increases from 0 to 50 wt %.
