Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Development of Single-Use Thin Film Electrodes Based on Zn2sno4 on In2o3:sno2 Substrates With Their Biosensing Applications(Elsevier, 2022) Yurttaş, Betül; Maral, Meltem; Erdem, Arzu; Özyüzer, LütfiDopamine (DA) has a significant impact on the emergence and treatment of certain diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases). Therefore, monitoring of DA is important, and using biosensors is a favorable option instead of time-consuming and expensive conventional methods. In biosensor manufacturing, thin films have become a rapidly emerging field. In this study, a non-enzymatic electrochemical biosensor based on thin film electrodes is developed for monitoring DA levels. The thin film electrodes (ZTO/ITO) are developed by deposition of Zn2SnO4 (ZTO) on In2O3:SnO2 (ITO) substrates by magnetron sputtering. 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) is used to modify the surface of these electrodes. Physical, optical, and structural properties of the electrodes are determined by applying surface profilometry, UV–VIS–NIR spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. According to these measurements, it has been observed that the ZTO/ITO combination has a higher optical transmission value than the bare ITO, depending on the deposition time and the oxygen concentration used during ZTO deposition. In addition, the ITO thin film has a crystalline structure, while the ZTO thin film has an amorphous structure and both thin films have a good surface morphology. As electrochemical analysis, cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements are performed. As a result of CV and EIS measurements, a remarkable change (63.54%) was observed after applying APTES modification onto the surface of ZTO/ITO electrode, and the ones obtained by DPV showed successful detection of DA by APTES modified ZTO/ITO. In addition, the experiments in the presence of interferences such as ascorbic acid (AA), uric acid (UA), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and fish sperm double-stranded DNA (fsDNA) show that the electrodes can be successfully applied for voltammetric determination of DA. The detection limit of DA was estimated to be 0.013 µM in the range of DA between 0.1 and 1 µM, and sensitivity was calculated and found to be 11.057 μA μg−1 mL cm−2, which means ZTO/ITO electrodes have a good sensitivity.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Structural and Optical Characteristics of Antimony Selenosulfide Thin Films Prepared by Two-Step Method(Springer, 2022) Türkoğlu, Fulya; Ekren, Memduh Emirhan; Cantaş, Ayten; Yakıncı, Kübra; Gündoğan, Hazal; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, LütfiAntimony triselenide (Sb2Se3) is one of the most promising absorber material choices among the inorganic semiconductors that has attracted much attention today. However, highest recorded efficiencies for Sb2Se3 solar cells are still lower than ideal. Exploring antimony selenosulfide (Sb-2(SxSe1-x)(3)) to increase device performance is one option because some features of alloyed Sb-2(SxSe1-x)(3) depend on composition such as bandgap and band position. In this study, two-step process was used to grow Sb-2(SxSe1-x)(3) thin films. In the first stage, Sb2Se3 thin films were deposited on soda lime glass substrates using direct current magnetron sputtering technique. In the second stage, Sb2Se3 thin films were exposed to sulfurization process in a quartz ampoule to obtain Sb-2(SxSe1-x)(3) thin films. Characterization results showed that morphological, optical, and structural properties of Sb-2(SxSe1-x)(3) thin films grown by presented method were highly dependent on amount of sulfur in the films. By the adjustment of the S/S + Se atomic ratio, Sb-2(SxSe1-x)(3) absorber materials with suitable bandgap, favorable orientation and compact morphology can be obtained for photovoltaic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Development of Zto/Ag Transparent Electrodes for Thin Film Solar Cells(Springer, 2022) Türkoğlu, Fulya; Köseoğlu, Hasan; Ekmekçioğlu, Merve; Cantaş, Ayten; Özdemir, Mehtap; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, LütfiThis article presents the optimization of Zinc Tin Oxide/Silver/Zinc Tin Oxide (ZTO/Ag/ZTO) multilayers to implement them in thin film solar cells as transparent electrodes. To achieve improvements on the performance of these transparent multilayers, effect of Ag and ZTO thicknesses, and position of Ag layer within the multilayer were investigated. Electrical and optical characterization of these multilayers revealed that reduced sheet resistance and improved optical transmittance can be acquired for solar cells by the optimization of thin film thicknesses and position of the Ag within the multilayer. The improvement of the electrical and optical behavior of the ZTO/Ag/ZTO structures enabled figure of merit (FoM) values up to 69.69 × 10–3 Ω−1. The performance of our multilayer electrodes was also compared with ITO and AZO electrodes. The obtained results suggest that fabricated multilayer electrodes can be a good choice for thin film solar cells.
