Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 13Energy storage performance of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/co-doped polyaniline nanocomposites(Springer, 2022) Altınışık, Hasan; Getiren, Bengü; Çıplak, Zafer; Soysal, Furkan; Yıldız, NurayThe design and exploration of carbon-based electrode materials have become highly significant for developing supercapacitor technology, which has attracted considerable attention in energy storage systems. Here, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) – Polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites were synthesized by a facile two-step method in which in situ polymerization of aniline monomer was performed on hydrothermally synthesized N-rGO nanosheets in DBSA and H2SO4 medium for co-doping of PANI chains. The effects of various acid concentrations (DBSA:H2SO4 0.5 − 0.25:1 n/n) and N-rGO:aniline ratios (N-rGO:aniline 1:4–10 m/m) used in the preparation of the electrode material on the capacitive properties were investigated. It is found that the co-doped N-rGO-PANI nanocomposites exhibit a high specific capacitance of 346.3 F g− 1 at 1 A g− 1, remarkable rate capacity (99.9%, 1–10 A g− 1) and excellent cycle stability at 5 A g− 1 (81.3%, 5000 cycles) in a two-electrode system. As a result, constructing co-doped PANI chains and N-doped rGO provided a viable and simple way to improve the capacitive performances of supercapacitors.Article 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.
