    Recyclability of Cspbbr3 Quantum Dot Glass Nanocomposites for Their Long-Standing Use in White Leds
    (2022) Vahedigharehchopogh, Naji; Erol, Erdinç; Kıbrıslı, Orhan; Genç, Aziz; Çelikbilek Ersundu, Miray; Ersundu, Ali Erçin
    The embedding of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) in an inorganic glass matrix not only protects them against chemical, thermal, and photodegradation but also provides an effective strategy to isolate toxic elements such as Pb from the environment for a long period of time. Herein, the recyclability of glass is another important feature that contributes to environmental sustainability. Hence, effective and efficient recycling technologies are needed for the widespread use of PQD glass nanocomposites (GNCs) in many commercial applications. However, studies on the recyclability of CsPbBr3 PQD GNCs have not been conducted so far. Therefore, in this work, we investigate the structural, thermal, optical, and photoluminescence properties of recycled CsPbBr3 PQD GNCs to assess their suitability as long-standing and reusable luminescent materials. For this purpose, the recyclability of GNCs is checked by three repeated melt-quenching and subsequent heat-treatment processes. Although the color emission properties of GNCs under the same heat-treatment conditions show a slight variation after each recycling step, PQD GNCs almost retain their PLQY even after the last recycling step. Ultimately, a prototype white light-emitting diode is constructed by coupling recycled PQD GNCs and a commercial red phosphor on top of a blue LED chip showing high-performance with CIE color coordinates of x = 0.3228, y = 0.3470 and a CCT value of 5920 K. The findings of this work reveal that the recyclability of PQD GNCs holds great promise for a more sustainable technology.

    Physically Unclonable Security Patterns Created by Electrospinning, and Authenticated by Two-Step Validation Method
    (IOP Publishing, 2022) Taşcıoğlu, Didem; Atçı, Arda; Sevim Ünlütürk, Seçil; Özçelik, Serdar
    Counterfeiting is a growing economic and social problem. For anticounterfeiting, random and inimitable droplet/fiber patterns were created by the electrospinning method as security tags that are detectable under UV light but invisible in daylight. To check the authenticity of the original security patterns created; images were collected with a simple smartphone microscope and a database of the recorded original patterns was created. The originality of the random patterns was checked by comparing them with the patterns recorded in the database. In addition, the spectral signature of the patterns in the droplet/fiber network was obtained with a simple and hand-held spectrometer. Thus, by reading the spectral signature from the pattern, the spectral information of the photoluminescent nanoparticles was verified and thus a second-step verification was established. In this way, anticounterfeiting technology that combines ink formula, unclonable security pattern creation and two-level verification is developed.
