Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4A Facile Method for Boosting the Graphitic Carbon Nitride's Photocatalytic Activity Based on 0d/2d S-Scheme Heterojunction Nanocomposite Architecture(Elsevier, 2024) Kahraman, Zeynep; Kartal, Uğur; Gent, Aziz; Alp, EmreGraphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has received significant interest as a metal -free photocatalyst. The S -scheme photocatalytic system has great potential to improve the charge separation in semiconductor photocatalysts. In this study, we have fabricated non-toxic and low-cost photocatalytic nanocomposites of 0D/2D S -scheme heterojunction composed of iron oxide and graphitic carbon nitride by a facile method. The developed facile method provides a sustainable way with a high atom economy to further enhance the photocatalytic performance of exfoliated g-C 3 N 4 . The 0D -iron oxide/2D-C 3 N 4 exhibited nearly 10 times better than bulk g-C 3 N 4 and almost 60 % better than exfoliated g-C 3 N 4 under simulated solar light irradiation. The experimental results demonstrated that the effective charge -carrier mechanism led to an improved generation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs), resulting in an impressive photocatalytic performance. A serial photocatalytic test was also conducted to understand photocatalytic reaction mechanisms with various scavengers.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Inverse Effects of Lanthanide Co-Doping on the Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production and Dye Degradation Activities of Cu Doped Sol-Gel Tio<sub>2</Sub>(Elsevier, 2023) Yurtsever, Husnu Arda; Erzin, Kubilay; Ciftcioglu, Muhsin; Yurtsever, Hüsnü Arda; Erzin, Kubilay; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinCopper doped and lanthanide-copper co-doped titania powders were prepared by sol-gel technique and the effects of co-doping on the photocatalytic reduction and oxidation activities of titania were investigated in this work. Characterization studies indicated that a reduced structure was formed due to the presence of Ti3+ species in copper doped titania powder and a more stable structure was formed when lanthanides were used as co-dopants. Copper doped powder had a significantly higher activity in photocatalytic hydrogen production (1037 mu mol/g/h) than the co-doped powders (similar to 400 mu mol/g/h). The oxidation activities of co-doped powders however were determined to be about 2 times higher than that of the copper doped powder. The decrease in the reduction activity was attributed to the decrease in the number of Ti3+ sites, whereas the increase in oxidation activity was probably a result of the increase in the surface area and dye adsorption due to lanthanide co-doping.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Formation of Monolithic Srtio3-Tio2 Ceramic Heterostructures by Reactive Hydrothermal Sintering(Elsevier, 2023) Karacasulu, Levent; Kartal, Uğur; İçin, Öykü; Bortolotti, Mauro; Biesuz, Mattia; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar VakıfIn a one-pot approach, monolithic SrTiO3-TiO2 ceramic heterostructures were obtained using the reactive hydrothermal liquid phase densification (rHLPD). Structural, morphological, and photocatalytic properties of the obtained ceramics were analyzed. The relative density of the formed components reached about 80% with reaction time, temperature, and NaOH concentration variation. It was observed via Rietveld refinement that there was no XRD detectable phase other than TiO2 and SrTiO3 in the final structure. The monolithic SrTiO3-TiO2 ceramics obtained by hydrothermal reaction at 120 °C for 24 h in 1 M NaOH concentration showed a dielectric constant being around 500, and the dielectric loss was below 0.25 at frequencies higher than 10 kHz. The SrTiO3-TiO2 heterostructured monoliths having only 20 vol% total porosity and low specific surface area, demonstrated ∼60% efficiency (in 5 h) in degrading Methylene Blue photo-catalytically. © 2023 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 12Comparison of Photocatalytic Performances of Solar-Driven Hybrid Catalysts for Hydrogen Energy Evolution From 1,8–diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7 (dbu) Solution(Elsevier, 2022) Orak, Ceren; Yüksel, AslıHydrogen is evolved from 1,8–Diazabicyclo [5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) model solution which is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic compound using different solar-driven hybrid photocatalysts. A characterization study is performed and the results of PL analysis show that the most promising solar-driven hybrid catalyst is graphene supported LaFeO3. Then, an experimental design matrix is built using the Box Behnken model to main and interaction effects of reaction parameters (pH, catalyst loading, and [H2O2]0). Based on the experimental results relatively higher hydrogen amounts are achieved using GLFO and this finding is supported by PL analysis. The highest hydrogen amount and DBU removal are determined as 3058.31 μmol/gcat and 90.3%, respectively. Statistical analysis shows that the square of catalyst loading is the only effective parameter over the produced hydrogen amount from the DBU model solution using GLFO and the R2 of model is 92.47%. Thus, hydrogen production and wastewater treatment could be achieved via photocatalytic oxidation as concomitant.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Dye Removal by Polymer Derived Ceramic Nanobeads(Elsevier, 2021) İçin, Öykü; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar VakıfEmulsion processed polymer derived ceramic (PDC) nanobeads are used for Methylene Blue dye removal from aqueous solutions. The PDC nanobeads, produced at 600 degrees C and 1200 degrees C pyrolysis, are subsequently coated with titania (anatase). Titania-coated nanobeads show less than 35%, i.e., limited dye adsorption capability in dark. Instead, enhanced total removal efficiency (similar to 97%) is obtained when the initial adsorption is succeeded by photodegradation under UV. Direct reusability tests show that even after the third cycle, very high regeneration efficiencies being above 92% are observed for titania-coated nanobeads.
