Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Controlling Spontaneous Emission of Cdse Nanoparticles Dispersed in Electrospun Fibers of Polycarbonate Urethane(American Chemical Society, 2009) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Soysal, Duygu; Ünlü, Caner; Kuş, Mahmut; Özçelik, SerdarLuminescent fibrous composite films consisting of submicrometer diameter fibers were prepared by electrospinning of segmented polycarbonate urethane (PCU) in dimethyl formamide and tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO)-capped CdSe nanocrystals (5 nm in diameter) in toluene. Using a pair of conductive electrodes separated with an air gap, we successfully produced randomly deposited and uniaxially aligned electrospun fibers. The surface structure of the electrospun fibers was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and was compared to the corresponding film prepared by casting. In cast film, tapping mode AFM imaging suggests that hard urethane segments organize into rodlike morphology dispersed in soft polycarbonate. When PCU/ CdSe dispersions were subjected to electrospinning, copolymer domains were forced to arrange into lamella along the fiber axis due to elongational flow and high stretching. Molecular orientation in the domains of the composite fibers was confirmed by polarized infrared spectroscopy. We demonstrated that formation of the oriented domains by electrospinning develops a hierarchical structure, which consequently modifies spectral properties because new multiple sharp lines appeared in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the fibers. In contrast to randomly deposited fibers, the PL intensity of uniaxially aligned fibers was found to be angle dependent. We propose that the elongated internal structure within the fibers controls the spontaneous emission of CdSe nanoparticles dispersed throughout the electrospun mat. A discussion on the nature of the controlled spontaneous emission is provided.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 32Optical and Electrochemical Properties of Polyether Derivatives of Perylenediimides Adsorbed on Nanocrystalline Metal Oxide Films(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Kuş, Mahmut; Haklı, Özgül; Zafer, Ceylan; Varlıklı, Canan; Demiç, Şerafettin; Özçelik, Serdar; İçli, SıddıkWe report optical and electrochemical properties of polyether derivatives of perylenediimides (PDIs) thin films formed in various materials (semiconductor, insulator, amorphous and self-assembly). Perylenediimides adsorbed on nanocrystalline TiO2(NT) nanocrystalline alumina (NA), amorphous silicon (PS) and neat self-assemblied (SA) films were prepared and characterized based on spectroscopic, electrochemical, spectro-electrochemical techniques. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of PDIs in chloroform exhibit vibronic features. The fluorescence quantum yields (Uf) of PDIs with end amino substituents in chloroform solutions are over 0.95, while the quantum yield of triethoxyphenyl substituted PDIUfvalue is 0.024 in solution. Optical spectroscopy proves that PDIs in metal oxide thin films form aggregated type complexes. An electrochromism, a color change from red to blue/violet, is observed on metal oxide films, that indicates existence of mono and dianion forms of PDIs. Reversibility of electrochemical reductions in NT film depends on the scanning rate. However, electrochromism in NA films is stable and reversibility is independent from scanning rate. Stable mono and diaionic species are formed on NA films. SA films show broad absorption peaks during the voltammetric scan. On the other hand, the first reduction onset potentials of PDIs are almost equal to the onset potential of capacitive current of TiO2which lead to low efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells.
