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.Research Project Nadir toprak ve geçiş elementleri katkılı titan kompozitlerinin nanotasarımı ve yapay fotosenteze yönelik kullanımlarının araştırılması(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2014) Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Duvarcı, Özlem; Özçelik, Serdar; Yurtsever, Hüsnü ArdaGünümüzde ağırlıklı olarak sürdürülebilir olmayan fosil yakıtlara (petrol, doğal gaz ve kömür) dayanan ve sürekli bir şekilde artan enerji ihtiyacının neden olduğu olumsuz etkiler ve bunların yarattığı kaygılar insanlığı er ya da geç sürdürülebilir temiz enerji kaynaklarına yöneltecektir. Hem küresel CO2 miktarını azaltan ve hem de metanol, hidrojen vb. yenilenebilir ve sürdürülebilir yakıt üretimini sağlayan yapay fotosentez (su parçalama/CO2 fotoindirgeme) önemli bir seçenek oluşturmaktadır. Fotokatalitik süreçler çevresel sorunların çözümüne ve yenilenebilir enerji üretimine önemli katkılar yapacaktır. Güneş enerjisini kullanarak çevre sorunlarını çözme ve enerji gereksinimini karşılamaya yönelik yapay fotosentez uygulamalarında kimyasal ve optik özelliklerinden ötürü titan bazlı fotokatalitik malzemeler en yaygın kullanılan malzemelerdendir. Son yıllardaki araştırmalar lantanit katkılarının titan fazlarını güneş ışınlarını görünür bölgede daha verimli kullanır hale getirebileceği yönünde önemli bulgular içermektedir. Etkin malzeme nanotasarımlarının başarısı katkı iyonlarının kafes/kompozit yapıdaki konumlarının, ana fazlardaki çözünürlüklerinin ve var olan çok fazlı sistemlerdeki fazlar arası etkileşimlerin daha iyi anlaşılmasıyla olasıdır.Article Impact of Titania Phase Structure and Surface Reactivity on the Photocatalytic Degradation of Various Dyes and Textile Wastewater(National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research, 2023) Yurtsever, Hüsnü Arda; İloğlu, Onur; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinTitania (TiO2) powders have been prepared by precipitation method in different precipitation media which contain sulfate, nitrate or organic species. Photocatalytic degradation of different dyes and a real textile wastewater have been conducted with these powders along with commercial powder Degussa P25 for comparison. Ethyl alcohol (organic medium), sulfuric acid (sulfate medium) and nitric acid (nitrate medium) have been used to dissolve titanium precursor for the precipitation of TiO2 in ammonia solution. UV-Vis DRS and XPS results indicate that S doping in sulfate medium precipitated powder and N doping in nitrate medium precipitated powder has been occurred and the presence of S or N containing impurities on the grain boundaries have been improved light absorption of TiO2 significantly. However, these powders have exhibited low surface reactivities. The highest surface reactivity has been obtained with the powder precipitated in organic medium which also has the highest crystallite sizes (76 nm rutile and 34 nm anatase crystallites) with relatively low rutile weight percentage (10.0%). The surface-normalized rate constants of this powder are 0.02038 min-1.m-2 in real textile wastewater degradation and 0.0161 min-1.m-2 in methyl orange degradation, which are 0.01563 and 0.0091 min-1.m-2, respectively, for Degussa P25. Results have shown that this powder show 30-70% higher surface reactivities compared to Degussa P25. The main structural difference of organic medium precipitated powder and Degussa P25 has been found to be the anatase-rutile weight ratio and crystallite size of rutile phase whereas band gap energy of Degussa P25 is lower and other properties are not significantly different.Article Nadir Toprak Elementi Katkılı Kimyasal Çöktürme Titanya Tozları ile Yapay Fotosentezle Hidrojen Üretimi(Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi, 2015) Yurtsever, Hüsnü Arda; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinBu çalışmada nadir toprak elementi (NTE) katkılı/katkısız titanya (TiO2) tozları yapay fotosentezle fotokatalitik hidrojen eldesine yönelik uygulamalarda kullanılmak üzere kimyasal çöktürme/birlikte çöktürme yöntemi ile hazırlanmıştır. Düşük ısıl işlem sıcaklıklarında yüksek yüzey alanlarından dolayı yüksek hidrojen üretim miktarları elde edilmiştir. Yüzey aktivitesi bakımından ise 700 oC’de ısıl işlem görmüş katkılı tozların diğer tüm saf tozlara göre birim alan başına daha fazla hidrojen ürettiği saptanmıştır. NTE katkısı ile TiO2’in faz yapısında değişiklikler meydana getirilmiş, optimum anataz-rutil faz oranına sahip ve ışık soğurma kapasitesi yüksek bir nanoyapı elde edilmiştir. Katkıyla tozlarda oluşturulan bu özellikler görece düşük bir miktar olan % 0,1 katkı düzeyinde bile TiO2’in fotokatalitik aktivitesinin birkaç kat artmasını sağlamıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8The Effect of Powder Preparation Method on the Artificial Photosynthesis Activities of Neodymium Doped Titania Powders(Elsevier, 2018) Yurtsever, Hüsnü Arda; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinThe effects of nanostructure on the artificial photosynthesis activities of undoped and Nd doped titania (TiO2) powders prepared by three different chemical co-precipitation methods were investigated. Substitutional/interstitial N and S doping was observed in powders due to the presence of high concentrations of HNO3 (NP) and H2SO4 (SP) in the powder preparation media, respectively. Nd, N and S doping caused anatase/rutile phase transformation inhibition and crystallite size reduction in the nanostructure. Light absorption was significantly enhanced by Nd doping and the residual SO42-/NOx species in the nanostructure. Photocatalytic hydrogen production activity of Nd doped NP powder was 4 times greater than undoped NP powder at 700 degrees C and had a high purity (CO:H-2 ratio similar to 0.00). CO was determined to be the main product in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. NP powders had the highest CO yields and Nd doping enhanced CO production. The powders with high crystallite sizes and rutile weight fractions had the highest artificial photosynthesis activities. (C) 2018 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

A series of rare earth (RE) element doped TiO2 powders were prepared by sol-gel processing. The effects of RE doping level, ionic size and heat treatment temperature on the nanophase structure evolution and the dopant ion location in TiO2 main matrix were investigated. Anatase was determined to be the main phase up to 900 °C at all doping levels for all REs. Anatase to rutile phase transformation was inhibited by RE doping. The inhibitory effect of REs increased with increasing ionic radius. Oxide phases of La, Nd, Pr, Sm were not present up to 5% and Nd4Ti9O24 phase was formed at 10% doping level at 800 °C. The formation of RE2Ti2O7 phases were determined for the REs with relatively lower ionic radii at 800 °C.
