Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Zno Nanostructures for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue: Effect of Different Anodization Parameters(Springer, 2022) Öksüz, Ahmet Emrecan; Yurddaşkal, Metin; Kartal, Uğur; Dikici, Tuncay; Erol, MustafaIn this paper, the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanostructures formed by anodization method with different parameters was investigated. The synthesis of ZnO nanostructures with different morphology by varying anodic oxidation parameters containing electrolytes, molarity, voltage, and duration was analyzed. ZnO nanostructures were prepared through different parameters consisting of six samples. The produced ZnO nanostructures were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. It was found that the morphology of ZnO structures was formed as nanorods, needle-like, flower-like, heterogeneous, and homogeneous of mixed structures. ZnO nanostructures were identified by matching X-Ray diffraction peaks due to the international center for diffraction data database. Experiments on photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue demonstrated that the photocatalytic activity of ZnO samples. The best photocatalytic performance was observed by the sample anodized for an hour in 0.05 M of KHCO3 electrolytes with 40 V electrical potential. It was observed that the removal of methylene blue increased 3 times (photocatalytic degradation efficiency similar to 31% for methylene blue vs similar to 90% by the best sample) thanks to the obtained ZnO nanostructured photocatalysts. The results showed that an increment of the voltage has a significant effect on the photocatalytic activity of ZnO while keeping other parameters including molarity, time, and electrolyte type constant.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Optical and Photocatalytic Properties of Zno and Zns Structures Formed as Controlled Calcination Products of L-Cysteine Assisted Aqueous Precipitation(Elsevier, 2020) Şen, Selin; Top, AybenZnO and ZnS structures were obtained by the calcination of the aqueous precipitation products of Zn(NO3)2, NaOH and L-cysteine (Cys). Initial Cys:Zn molar ratios were changed as 0.1:1, 0.5:1, 1:1 and 1.5:1. All the precursors were transformed into ZnO upon calcination at 700 °C. ZnS structures were obtained by calcining the precursors prepared at the Cys:Zn ratios of 1 and 1.5 at 350 °C. In addition to changing chemical composition of the precipitation products, calcination temperature and initial Cys:Zn ratio also affected morphology, surface area, photoluminescence and photocatalytic properties of the final products. Free exciton energy values of the ZnO samples were observed to be between 3.29 eV and 3.35 eV. PL spectra of the ZnO samples indicated blue and green emission centers. Zinc interstitials (Zni), revealed by the blue emissions in the PL spectra were also confirmed by Auger Zn L3M4.5M4.5 spectra. The samples calcined at 350 °C removed rhodamine B mainly by adsorption. All the samples calcined at 700 °C successfully degraded the dye under UV light. Among the samples calcined at 700 °C, ZnO sample prepared at Cys:Zn = 0.5, which has the highest surface area and unique photoluminescence spectrum exhibited the fastest photodegradation rate. © 2020 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10The Comparison of Transient Photocurrent Spectroscopy Measurements of Pulsed Electron Deposited Zno Thin Film for Air and Vacuum Ambient Conditions(Elsevier, 2019) Özdoğan, Mehmet; Yiğen, Serap; Çelebi, Cem; Utlu, GökhanPhotoconduction mechanism of ZnO thin films that produced by Pulsed Electron Deposition method is systematically investigated by taking Transient Photocurrent Spectroscopy measurements for different atmospheres including high vacuum and air environments. Response and recovery rates of photocurrent in the air are faster than the rates in high vacuum condition. The results in the presented work clearly indicate that the photoconduction of ZnO thin films with high surface-area-to-volume ratio are surface-related and mostly governed by adsorption/desorption of oxygen and water molecules in the atmosphere. Therefore, the high surface interaction tendency of ZnO surface with the atmosphere inevitably leads to charge transfer from surface to adsorbates and/or vice versa.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Manufacturing Radar-Absorbing Composite Materials by Using Magnetic Co-Doped Zinc Oxide Particles Synthesized by Sol-Gel(SAGE Publications Inc., 2020) Atay, Hüsnügül Yılmaz; İçin, ÖyküAn indicator of being a strong country in today's world is that they have powerful weapons. In this sector where science is used exceedingly, the "stealth" takes an important place. Radar-absorbing materials are used in stealth technology to disguise an object from radar detection, such that it can allow a plane to be perceived as a bird. In this study, Co-doped zinc oxide reinforced styrofoam sheet composites were manufactured as radar-absorbing materials. For this purpose, Co-doped zinc-ZnO particles were synthesized via the Sol-Gel method with doping concentrations of 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%. They were embedded in a styrofoam matrix with different loading levels to see the concentration dependence. The as-prepared powders were characterized by using X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy. Magnetic characterization of samples was carried out using a vibrating sample magnetometer. Finally, the radar-absorbing test was applied with a network analyzer to achieve the main purpose of this research. It was concluded that Co-doped zinc oxide reinforced composites have electromagnetic properties that indicate potential applications in the radar-absorbing area.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 17Effect of Substrate Rotation Speed and Off-Center Deposition on the Structural, Optical, and Electrical Properties of Azo Thin Films Fabricated by Dc Magnetron Sputtering(American Institute of Physics, 2018) Türkoğlu, Fulya; Aygün, Gülnur; Köseoğlu, Hasan; Özdemir, Mehtap; Zeybek, S.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Özdemir, Mehtap; Özyüzer, Gülnur Aygün; Özyüzer, LütfiIn this study, aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The distance between the substrate and target axis, and substrate rotation speed were varied to get high quality AZO thin films. The influences of these deposition parameters on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the fabricated films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, spectrophotometry, and four-point probe techniques. The overall analysis revealed that both sample position and substrate rotation speed are effective in changing the optical, structural, and electrical properties of the AZO thin films. We further observed that stress in the films can be significantly reduced by off-center deposition and rotating the sample holder during the deposition. An average transmittance above 85% in the visible range and a resistivity of 2.02 × 10-3Ω cm were obtained for the AZO films.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Preparation and Characterization of Flexible Poly(vinyl Chloride) Foam Films(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2012) Şahin, Erdem; Yaşar Mahlıçlı, Filiz; Yetgin, Senem; Balköse, DevrimIn this study, the effect of activator ZnO and heating time at 190°C on foaming, gelation, and dehydrochlorination of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastisol was investigated. For this purpose, a PVC plastisol was prepared by mixing PVC, dioctyl phthalate (DOP), azodicarbonamide (ADC), ZnO, and the heat stabilizers calcium stearate (CaSt 2) and zinc stearate(ZnSt 2). PVC plastisol films were heated for 3, 6, 12, and 24 min periods at 190°C to see the effect of heating time on the gelation and foaming processes of the PVC foam. The time of 12 min was determined to be optimum for the completion of gelation and foaming processes without thermal degradation of PVC. No foaming was observed under the same conditions for the samples without ZnO. ZnO had a significant catalytic effect on ADC decomposition, accelerating the foaming of the films. Average porosity measurement showed a consistent increase in porosity with heating time up to 76% and the average density decreased from 1.17 to 0.29 g/cm 3 on foaming. Tensile tests showed that the tensile strength and tensile strain both increased considerably up to 0.98 MPa and 207%, respectively, with heating time and the elastic modulus was seen to gradually decrease from 4.7 to 0.7 MPa with heating time. Films without ZnO had higher tensile strength since there were no pores. PVC thermomat tests showed that ZnO lowered the stability time of plastigel film with azodicarbonamide.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 20Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics and Mechanical Properties of Polycaprolactone Composites With Zinc Oxide, Oleic Acid, and Glycerol Monooleate(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2013) Alp, Burcu; Cesur, SerapThe isothermal crystallization and mechanical behavior of polycaprolactone (PCL) with zinc oxide (ZnO) with oleic acid and glycerol monooleate (GMO) were studied. Theoretical melting points calculated by the Flory-Huggins and Thompson-Gibbs models were thoroughly compared with differential scanning calorimetry experimental observations. The isothermal crystallization kinetic parameters by Avrami analysis showed that crystallization was controlled by nucleation, crystal growth was spherical, and the nucleation type changed between thermal and athermal nucleation. X-ray diffraction showed that when the additives were used together both the crystal thickness and the degree of crystallinity increased. A multiple-response regression analysis was made with the ZnO, oleic acid, and GMO concentrations as variables and the crystallinity as output. Interaction parameters by the Pukanzky model were calculated from the tensile strength at the yield point and indicated that the addition of oleic acid or GMO improved the interface between the ZnO particles and PCL.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 21Effects of Particle Size and Electrical Resistivity of Filler on Mechanical, Electrical, and Thermal Properties of Linear Low Density Polyethylene-Zinc Oxide Composites(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2013) Özmıhçı Ömürlü, Filiz; Balköse, DevrimThe effects of particle size and electrical resistivity of zinc oxide (ZnO) on mechanical properties, electrical and thermal conductivities of composites made with linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) were investigated. Micron sized (mZnO), submicron sized (sZnO), and nano sized (nZnO) powders having resistivities of 1.5 × 106, 1.5 × 109, and 1.7 × 108 were used to prepare composites with 5-20 vol % filler. The tensile strength was lowered and the modulus of elasticity of the composites was increased with ZnO addition. Rather than the particle size of the ZnO, its initial resistivity and aspect ratio affected the resistivity of composites. The resistivity of the LLDPE was lowered from 2.3 × 1016 Ω cm down to 1.4 × 1010 Ω cm with mZnO addition. Thermal conductivity of the composites was increased with ZnO addition 2.5-3 times of the polymer matrix. The composites can be used for electrostatically dissipating and heat sink applications due to their decreased electrical resistivity and increased thermal conductivity.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13Effect of Supercritical Ethanol Drying on the Properties of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2012) Egbuchunam, Theresa; Balköse, DevrimThe synthesis, characterization, and application as polymers and anti-wear additives of nanosized zinc oxide particles obtained by conventional and supercritical ethanol drying are reported in this study. The nanaoparticles of ZnO produced by the two different drying techniques were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to elucidate the shape, size, composition, and stability of the nanoparticles. ZnO nanoparticles were then applied to poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) powder and light mineral oil to assess their effectiveness and suitability as additives in diverse areas. XRD analysis revealed ZnO crystalline structure with average particle size of 24.7 nm for zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared by supercritical ethanol drying while SEM showed well-isolated and monodisperse particles with average size of 61.08 nm. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
