Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Hollow Nano-caco3's Voc Sensing Properties: a Dft Calculation and Experimental Assessments(Elsevier, 2023) Bayram, Abdullah; Farzaneh, Amir; Esrafili, Mehdi D.; Okur, Salih; Özdemir, EkremAir is the most critical and necessary for life, and air quality significantly impacts people's health. Both indoor and outdoor pollution frequently contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Such contaminants provide immediate or long-term health risks to the living system. The present study investigates sorption characteristics of VOCs on hollow nano calcite (CaCO3) particles with 250 nm and 40 nm pore sizes to remove from the air ambient using the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique at room temperature both experimentally and theoretically. The results were supported by density functional theory (DFT), and adsorption-desorption characteristics were studied with Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The QCM measurements showed a stable signal without having hysteresis, and the response of polar VOCs on hollow nano-CaCO3 particles such as ethanol, propanol, and humidity with higher polarity was less compared to solvents such as chloroform and dichloromethane, which revealed that the surfaces of CaCO3 particles have mostly non-polar properties. CaCO3 surface and VOC molecule interactions overlap with the Langmuir model. With DFT calculations, VOC and water molecule adsorption changes the CaCO3 Egap. Our findings show that the ΔEgap values increase as chloroform > dichloromethane > propanol > ethanol > water. This order suggests that the sensing response of the hollow CaCO3 structure is linearly proportional to the adsorption energies of VOC and water. The linear adsorption characteristics, high sensing response, and short recovery time illustrated that the newly synthesized nano-CaCO3 could be implemented as a new VOC adsorbent material for health, environmental sustainability, and in vitro microbiome cultures.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Experimental and Density Functional Theory Study on Humidity Sensing Properties of Copper Phthalocyanine (cupc)(IOP Publishing, 2019) Farzaneh, Amir; Esrafili, Mehdi D.; Okur, SalihThe quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique was applied to investigate humidity sensing properties of a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin film prepared by drop cast method. The humidity adsorption and desorption kinetics of (CuPc) thin film was evaluated. The QCM and electrical measurements results showed that humidity sensing properties of CuPc is very sensitive to humidity changes and reversible adsorption/desorption performance which is an indicative of a good humidity sensor even at room temperature. Reproducible experimental results indicated that CuPc thin films have an abundant potential for humidity sensing applications at ambient temperature. According to the first-principle density functional theory calculations, the promising humidity sensing properties of CuPc can be attributed to the considerable charge transfer from the water molecule into Cu atom.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Humidity Adsorption Kinetics of a Trypsin Gel Film(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Okur, Salih; Ceylan, Çağatay; Çulcular, EvrenThis study focuses on the humidity adsorption kinetics of an isopropanol-induced and pH-triggered bovine pancreatic trypsin gel (BPTG). The BPTG was adsorbed on a gold coated Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) substrate with a thickness of 376nm. The morphology of the film was characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). QCM was used to investigate the humidity sensing properties of the BPTG film. The response of the humidity sensor was explained using the Langmuir model. The average values of adsorption and desorption rates between 11% RH (relative humidity) and 97% RH were calculated as 2482.5M -1s -1 and 0.02s -1, respectively. The equilibrium constant and average Gibbs Free Energy of humidity adsorption and desorption cycles were obtained as 133,000 and -11.8kJ/mol, respectively. © 2011 Elsevier Inc..Conference Object Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Gas Sensing Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Modified With Calixarene Molecules Measured by Qcm Techniques(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2012) Mermer, Ömer; Okur, Salih; Sümer, F.; Özbek, Cebrail; Sayın, S.; Yılmaz, MustafaThis study focuses on the characterization and optimization of calixarene modified carbon nanotube thin films for gas detection. Calixarene molecules were synthesized individually by considering their functional groups to attract the gas. Calixarene modified carbon nanotube based sensors were fabricated using drop-casting method on a quartz crystal microbalance gold electrode. Carbon monoxide, carbondioxide, oxygen and dry air were used as active gases for adsorption process, while high-purity nitrogen gas was used for desorption process. The selectivity and sensitivity of calixarene modified carbon nanotube are investigated in detail. Our experimental results show that functional calixarene modified carbon nanotube coated quartz crystal microbalance sensors are very sensitive and selective to gas of CO 2 at room temperature operation.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 37Humidity Adsorption Kinetics of Water Soluble Calix[4]arene Derivatives Measured Using Qcm Technique(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Okur, Salih; Kuş, Mahmut; Özel, Faruk; Yılmaz, MustafaWe report on the optimization and characterization of water soluble calix[4]arene derivative as a humidity sensor based on quartz crystal microbalance technique.
