Article Comparison of the Photoresponse Characteristics for 4H-SiC Schottky Barrier UV Photodetector with Graphene and Ni/Cr Electrode(Elsevier, 2026) Dulcel, Atilla Mert; Gozek, Melike; Unverdi, Ozhan; Celebi, CemGr/4H-SiC and Ni/Cr/4H-SiC Schottky junction UV photodetectors were fabricated and investigated to reveal the effect of electrode materials on the device performance such as spectral response and response speed. I-V characterization, spectral response, and response speed (on-off) measurements were conducted for the UV wavelength range between 200 and 400 nm. The maximum photo-responsivity was obtained as 0.081 A/W for Gr/4H-SiC and 0.041 A/W for Ni/Cr/4H-SiC at a wavelength of 260 nm. This result was attributed to the higher optical transmittance of the graphene electrode compared to the semitransparent Ni/Cr electrode. Zero bias response speed measurements were done under 280 nm wavelength UV light pulsed at different frequencies such as 100 Hz, 500 Hz, and 1000 Hz. The Gr/4H-SiC and Ni/Cr/4H-SiC photodetectors show distinctly different decay times of 5.04 ms and 305.1 mu s, respectively, while their rise times were found to be similar. This observation has been explained by the inclination of graphene to act as a trap site for photogenerated holes.Article Passive Matrix Schottky Barrier 2d Photodiode Array on Graphene/Soi Platform(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Yanilmaz, A.; Ünverdi, Ö.; Çelebi, C.We fabricated 4 × 4 pixel two-dimensional (2D) photodiode array (PDA) out of monolayer graphene and n-type silicon (n-Si) electrodes on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. Our device design is based on passive matrix sensor array architecture consisting of individual graphene and silicon electrodes aligned perpendicular to each other. I-V measurements conducted at room temperature to reveal the electronic characteristics of graphene and Si junction in the device structure. The spectral responsivity, respond speed and the optical crosstalk of each G/Si pixels in the array have been determined by wavelength resolved and time dependent photocurrent spectroscopy measurements. Micro-Raman mapping measurements were conducted to examine the surface coverage of graphene electrode on each pixel. The results of Micro-Raman mapping measurements were correlated with the corresponding photocurrent data acquired under light illumination. We believe that this work constitutes a significant potential in integrating variety of 2D materials and SOI technology into next generation image sensing and multiple pixel light detection applications. © The Author(s) 2025.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9High Voltage Response of Graphene/4h-sic Uv Photodetector With Low Level Detection(Elsevier, 2023) Jehad, Ala K.; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, CemA self-powered graphene/silicon carbide (G/4H-SiC) ultraviolet photodetector of a p-i-n like-structure with high voltage response has been fabricated to detect and measure low intensity ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Bilayer graphene sheet grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was transferred on the top of an epilayer structure of n-/n+ 4 H-SiC. In this structure, two Schottky contacts were formed: one at G/ n- 4H-SiC interface and the other at bulk-4 H-SiC/Cr/Au interface. The photodetector's characteristic measurements revealed low dark current of - 0.58 nA and spectral voltage responsivity of - 0.75 V/W at 300 nm wavelength. Under low level UV illumination of 300 nm wavelength, the photodetector exhibited a leakage current and a photogenerated response voltage of 1.1 nA and 10 mV, respectively. The time-dependent photovoltage measurements displayed a rapid photovoltage response with rise and decay times of -74 ns and - 580 ns, respectively. This novel device holds promise for applications requiring sensitive and self-powered UV detection.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 35Cvd Graphene/Sic Uv Photodetector With Enhanced Spectral Responsivity and Response Speed(Elsevier, 2023) Jehad, Ala K.; Fidan, Mehmet; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, CemA self-powered, high-performance graphene/Silicon Carbide (G/4H-SiC) ultraviolet Schottky junction photodetector has been fabricated, and the effect of using monolayer and bilayer graphene on the device performance parameters was investigated. P-type graphene sheets were grown by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, while 4H-SiC material consists of an epilayer structure of n-/n+ on bulk n-SiC. Two photodetector devices have been studied, one with monolayer graphene (MLG) and the other with bilayer graphene (BLG). The proposed photodetector structure reveals the highest spectral responsivity known of a G/4H-SiC UV photodetector so far. Electronic and optoelectronic characterizations were done under an ultraviolet wavelength range from 240 to 350 nm. The results show two spectral responsivity maxima (Rmax) at 285 nm and 300 nm wavelengths. Exhibiting two maxima in spectral responsivity and detectivity is caused by the constructive and destructive interference effects of multiple reflections at the SiC epilayer's interfaces. The photodetector devices exhibit high spectral responsivity (R ? 0.09 AW?1), maximum detectivity (D* ? 2.9 × 1012 Jones), and minimum noise equivalent power (NEP ? 0.17 pWHz-1/2) in both devices. Using bilayer graphene instead of monolayer showed no significant change in both the photogenerated current and the spectral responsivity due to the higher absorption coefficient of bilayer graphene, however, it exhibited a significant improvement in the response speed. The response speed was found to increase by 50 % when bilayer graphene was used as a hole collecting electrode in the G/4H-SiC junction. This is because bilayer graphene creates a narrower depletion layer and higher electric field, which promotes efficient charge separation and recombination. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Insights Into Sustainability of Engineered Carbonaceous Material-Based Technologies for Advanced Cyanide Removal From Wastewater(Elsevier, 2023) Yoon, Yeojoon; Khataee, Alireza; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Recepoğlu, Yaşar KemalCyanide (CN) is a serious concern in industrial and goldmine wastewater. Strict regula-tory standards have been established by various agencies due to the detrimental effects that CN has on human health. Therefore, before discharge to water bodies or land, it is essential to create a sus-tainable model for the safe removal of CN. Carbon-based materials are well known for their adsorption and oxidation features, which can be conducive to CN removal. This paper reviews the relevant literature on the application of modified and unmodified carbon-based materials to CN removal in water; these materials include activated carbon (AC), graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Moreover, CN removal mechanisms and photocatalytic removal of CN are comprehensively discussed, with a particular emphasis on modifying carbon-based materials. It has been observed that adding various elements to carbon-based materials improves their surface area, functional groups, CN adsorption capacity, and pore volume. Impacts of operational parameters, isotherm models, kinetics, and types of carbon-based materials are also outlined. This study provides insight into the real-scale applicability of carbon-based materials for CN removal from waters. Moreover, this review indicates that essential work on CN removal using carbon-based materials is still needed. Future research should focus on developing modified carbon-based materials to encourage multidisciplinary research. The most crucial gap in the literature is that the studies have been performed on a lab scale. Therefore, further pilot and real-scale applica-tions should be conducted. Overall, the cost assessment, environmental effects, and human health risks of carbon-based materials should be studied in future research to achieve a realistic perspective on applicability on an industrial scale.(c) 2023 THE AUTHORS.

The scope of this work is to reduce optical crosstalk and thus increasing the device performances with graphene and Si integration. This paper presents the design, fabrication process, and performance evaluation of self-powered individual Graphene/Silicon on Insulator (GSOI) based Schottky barrier photodiode array (PDA) devices. A 4-element GSOI Schottky barrier PDA with separate graphene electrodes is fabricated to examine possible optical crosstalk encountered between each diode in the array structure. Here, monolayer graphene is utilized as hole collecting separate electrode on individually arrayed n-type Si on SOI substrate by photolithography technique. Each diode in the array exhibited a clear rectifying Schottky character. Photoresponse characterizations revealed that all diodes had excellent device performance even in self-powered mode in terms of an Ilight/Idark ratio up to 104, a responsivity of ∼0.12 A/W, a specific detectivity of around 1.6 × 1012 Jones, and a response speed of ∼1.32 μs at 660 nm wavelength. As revealed by optical crosstalk measurement, the device with pixel pitch of 1.5 mm had a total crosstalk of about 0.10% (−60 dB) per array. These results showed that the optical crosstalk between neighboring n-Si elements can be greatly minimized when graphene is used as separated electrode on arrayed Si on SOI substrate. Our study is expected give an insight into the performance characteristics of GSOI PDA devices which have great potential to be used in many technological applications such as multi-wavelength light measurement, level metering, high-speed photometry and position/motion detection. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Multi-Layered Graphene Based Gas Sensor Platform for Discrimination of Volatile Organic Compounds Via Differential Intercalation(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023) Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Ng, Zhi Kai; Başkurt, Mehmet; Keleş, Berfin; Vardar, Gökay; Şahin, Hasan; Tsang, Siu Hon; Palaniappan, Alagappan; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Teo, EhtSelective and sensitive detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is of critical importance for environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis and industrial applications. Among VOCs, assay development for primary alcohols has captured significant research attention since their toxicity causes adverse effects on gastrointestinal and central nerve systems, resulting in irreversible blindness, and coma, and can be even fatal at high exposure levels. However, selective detection of primary alcohols is extremely challenging owing to the similarity in their molecular structure and characteristic groups. Herein, we have attempted to investigate the differential methanol (MeOH)-ethanol (EtOH) discriminative properties of single-layer, bi-layer, and multi-layer graphene morphologies. Chemiresistors fabricated using the three morphologies of graphene illustrate discriminative MeOH-EtOH responses, which is attributed to the phenomenon of differential intercalation of MeOH within layered graphene morphologies as compared to that of EtOH. This hypothesis is verified by density functional theory calculations, which revealed that the adsorption of EtOH molecules on the graphene surface is more energetically favorable as compared to that of MeOH molecules, thereby inhibiting their intercalation within the layered graphene morphologies. It is further evaluated that the degree of MeOH intercalation increases with increasing layers of graphene for obtaining differential MeOH-EtOH responses. Experimental results suggest possibilities to develop selective and sensitive MeOH assays fabricated using various graphene morphologies in a combinatorial sensor array format.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 13Energy storage performance of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/co-doped polyaniline nanocomposites(Springer, 2022) Altınışık, Hasan; Getiren, Bengü; Çıplak, Zafer; Soysal, Furkan; Yıldız, NurayThe design and exploration of carbon-based electrode materials have become highly significant for developing supercapacitor technology, which has attracted considerable attention in energy storage systems. Here, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) – Polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites were synthesized by a facile two-step method in which in situ polymerization of aniline monomer was performed on hydrothermally synthesized N-rGO nanosheets in DBSA and H2SO4 medium for co-doping of PANI chains. The effects of various acid concentrations (DBSA:H2SO4 0.5 − 0.25:1 n/n) and N-rGO:aniline ratios (N-rGO:aniline 1:4–10 m/m) used in the preparation of the electrode material on the capacitive properties were investigated. It is found that the co-doped N-rGO-PANI nanocomposites exhibit a high specific capacitance of 346.3 F g− 1 at 1 A g− 1, remarkable rate capacity (99.9%, 1–10 A g− 1) and excellent cycle stability at 5 A g− 1 (81.3%, 5000 cycles) in a two-electrode system. As a result, constructing co-doped PANI chains and N-doped rGO provided a viable and simple way to improve the capacitive performances of supercapacitors.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Stable Single Layer Structures of Aluminum Oxide: Vibrational and Electronic Characterization of Magnetic Phases(Elsevier, 2022) Özyurt, A. Kutay; Molavali, Deniz; Şahin, HasanThe structural, magnetic, vibrational and electronic properties of single layer aluminum oxide (AlO2) are investigated by performing state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. Total energy optimization and phonon calculations reveal that aluminum oxide forms a distorted octahedral structure (1T′-AlO2) in its single layer limit. It is also shown that surfaces of 1T′-AlO2 display magnetic behavior originating from the O atoms. While the ferromagnetic (FM) state is the most favorable magnetic order for 1T′-AlO2, transformation to a dynamically stable antiferromagnetic (AFM) state upon a slight distortion in the crystal structure is also possible. It is also shown that Raman activities (350–400 cm−1) obtained from the vibrational spectrum can be utilized to distinguish the possible magnetic phases of the crystal structure. Electronically, both FM and the AFM phases are semiconductors with an indirect band gap and they can form a type-III vdW heterojunction with graphene-like ultra-thin materials. Moreover, it is predicted that presence of oxygen defects that inevitably occur during synthesis and production do not alter the magnetic state, even at high vacancy density. Apparently, ultra-thin 1T′-AlO2 with its stable crystal structure, semiconducting nature and robust magnetic state is a quite promising material for nanoscale device applications.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 31Wien Effect in Interfacial Water Dissociation Through Proton-Permeable Graphene Electrodes(Nature Research, 2022) Cai, Junhao; Griffin, Eoin; Guarochico-Moreira, Victor H.; Barry, D.; Xin, B.; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Zhang, Sheng; Geim, Andre K.; Peeters, François M.; Lozada-Hidalgo, MarceloStrong electric fields can accelerate molecular dissociation reactions. The phenomenon known as the Wien effect was previously observed using high-voltage electrolysis cells that produced fields of about 107 V m−1, sufficient to accelerate the dissociation of weakly bound molecules (e.g., organics and weak electrolytes). The observation of the Wien effect for the common case of water dissociation (H2O ⇆ H+ + OH−) has remained elusive. Here we study the dissociation of interfacial water adjacent to proton-permeable graphene electrodes and observe strong acceleration of the reaction in fields reaching above 108 V m−1. The use of graphene electrodes allows measuring the proton currents arising exclusively from the dissociation of interfacial water, while the electric field driving the reaction is monitored through the carrier density induced in graphene by the same field. The observed exponential increase in proton currents is in quantitative agreement with Onsager’s theory. Our results also demonstrate that graphene electrodes can be valuable for the investigation of various interfacial phenomena involving proton transport.
