Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 44Ultralong-Life Quinone-Based Porous Organic Polymer Cathode for High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries(American Chemical Society, 2023) Büyükçakır, Onur; Büyükçakır, Onur; Yüksel, Recep; Begar, Ferit; Erdoğmuş, Mustafa; Arsakay, Madi; Lee, Sun Hwa; Kim, Sang Ouk; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe synthesized and studied a redox-active quinone-basedporousorganic polymer (rPOP) and found ultralong cycle life: it is a promisingorganic cathode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). It has highphysicochemical stability and enhanced intrinsic conductivity fromits fused-aromatic conjugated skeleton. rPOP's high porosityallows for efficient Zn2+ infiltration through the poresduring charging-discharging cycles and contributes to the efficientutilization of redox-active quinone units. It delivers a specificcapacity of 120 mAh g(-1) at a current density of0.1 A g(-1) with a flat and long discharge plateau,which is critically important to provide a stable voltage output.It provides ultralong cycle life at a current density of 1.0 A g(-1) for 1000 and at 2.0 A g(-1) for 30 000cycles, with initial capacity retention of 95 and 66%, respectively.The co-insertion (Zn2+ and H+) charge storagemechanism was investigated using various electrochemical measurementsand ex/in situ structural characterization techniques, and is explainedherein. These findings contribute to a better understanding of thestructure-property relationship for rPOP and open a new avenuefor new organic cathode materials for high-performance next-generationaqueous batteries.Article Citation - WoS: 111Citation - Scopus: 97A General Approach To Composites Containing Nonmetallic Fillers and Liquid Gallium(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021) Wang, Chunhui; Büyükçakır, Onur; Cunning, Benjamin, V; Lee, Seunghwan; Le, Quan; Joshi, Shalik R.; Büyükçakır, Onur; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe report a versatile method to make liquid metal composites by vigorously mixing gallium (Ga) with non-metallic particles of graphene oxide (G-O), graphite, diamond, and silicon carbide that display either paste or putty-like behavior depending on the volume fraction. Unlike Ga, the putty-like mixtures can be kneaded and rolled on any surface without leaving residue. By changing temperature, these materials can be stiffened, softened, and, for the G-O-containing composite, even made porous. The gallium putty (GalP) containing reduced G-O (rG-O) has excellent electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness. GalP with diamond filler has excellent thermal conductivity and heat transfer superior to a commercial liquid metal-based thermal paste. Composites can also be formed from eutectic alloys of Ga including Ga-In (EGaIn), Ga-Sn (EGaSn), and Ga-In-Sn (EGaInSn or Galinstan). The versatility of our approach allows a variety of fillers to be incorporated in liquid metals, potentially allowing filler-specific fit for purpose materials.
