Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Influence of Cation Size and Polarity on Charge Transport in Ionic Liquid Based Electrolytes(Wiley, 2022) Aydın, Banu; Öner, Saliha; Zafer, Ceylan; Varlıklı, CananImidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with allyl and ether side chains were synthesized and characterized. Comprehensive structural and photoelectrochemical characterizations were performed, transport properties of ILs were also examined as electrolyte components in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The properties of synthesized materials and DSSC performances were compared with 1-propyl-3-methyl imidazolium iodide (PMII) and 1-allyl-3-ethyl imidazolium iodide (AEII) as reference ILs. Ionic conductivities, diffusion coefficients and charge transfer resistances of synthesized ionic liquids were investigated on DSSCs by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The diffusion coefficient values of triiodide ions in different ionic liquid-based electrolytes were measured by the means of diffusion limited current density method and found to be 1.75×10−7 cm2 s−1 and 2.05×10−7 cm2 s−1 with corresponding photocurrent densities of 10.38 mAcm−2 and 12.13 mAcm−2 for the reference AEII and PMII based electrolytes, respectively. However, for the electrolytes of 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-3-allyl imidazolium iodide and 1-allyl-3-methyl imidazolium iodide ionic liquids, these values were found to be 0.86×10−7 cm2 s−1 and 0.57×10−7 cm2 s−1 with photocurrent densities of 9.53 mAcm−2 and 8.98 mAcm−2, respectively. Allyl and ether substituted imidazolium ILs exhibited promising results as potential alternative electrolyte materials for DSSCs.Article The Effect of Imide Substituents on the Excited State Properties of Perylene Diimide Derivatives(Fırat Üniversitesi, 2022) Aksoy, Erkan; Danos, Andrew; Li, Chunyong; Monkman, Andrew; Varlıklı, CananSolid state optical properties of fluorescent materials are important for many photonic devices such as organic light emitting diodes, frequency down-converters or luminescent solar concentrators. Perylene diimides (PDIs) represent one of the most popular organic semiconductors which find application in such photonic device applications. In this study, photophysical properties of two dibrominated PDI (DiBrPDIs), one of which contains a branched alkyl chain (2-ethylhexyl, 2-EH) and the other with an aromatic substituent (diisopropylphenyl, DIA) at the imide positions are comparatively studied. We report their absorption and photoluminescence, lifetime and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), as well as photoinduced absorption properties (PIA) examined by fs-transient absorption spectroscopy. Having the same ? conjugated system, DiBrPDIDIA and DiBrPDI-2EH exhibited identical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra in chloroform (?abs:527 nm and ?PL:552 nm). However, in film phase, DiBrPDI-DIA (?PL-DIA:596 nm; PLQY:73.4%) presented a shorter PL wavelength with a higher PLQY than that of DiBrPDI-2EH (?PL-2EH:649 nm; PLQY:36.7%). Bond lengths and core bending angles of PDI derivatives were calculated using Chem3D pro software. It was determined that the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl group in DiBrPDI(DIA) extends a distance of about 6.8 Å out from the imide positions, providing more effective steric protection from aggregation than the smaller 2EH group.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Silylethynyl substitution for preventing aggregate formation in perylene diimides(American Chemical Society, 2021) Aksoy, Erkan; Danos, Andrew; Li, Chunyong; Monkman, Andrew P.; Varlıklı, CananEthynylene-bridged perylene diimides (PDIs) with different sized silane groups have been synthesized as a steric blocking group to prevent the formation of non-radiative trap sites, for example, strong H-aggregates and other dimers or excimers. Excited singlet-state exciton dynamics were investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence and ultrafast pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy. The spectra of the excimer or dimer aggregates formed by the PDIs at high concentrations were also determined. Although the photophysical properties of the bare and shielded PDIs are identical at micromolar concentrations, more shielded PDI2 and PDI3 exhibited resistance to aggregation, retaining higher photoluminescence quantum yield even at 10 mM concentration and in neat films. The PDIs also exhibited high photostability (1 h of continuous excitation), as well as electrochemical stability (multiple cycles with cyclic voltammetry). Prevention of dimer/aggregate formation in this manner will extend the uses of PDIs to a variety of high concentration photonics and optoelectronic applications, such as organic light-emitting diodes, organic photovoltaics, and luminescent solar concentrators.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Soluble Cytotoxic Ruthenium(ii) Complexes With 2-Hydrazinopyridine(Pleiades Publishing, 2019) Soliman, A. A.; Attaby, F. A.; Alajrawy, O., I; Majeed, S. R.; Şahin, C.; Varlıklı, CananNew water soluble Ru(II) binary complex [Ru(C5H7N3)(X)(H2O)(2)] with 2-hydrazinopyridine and its ternary complexes with X = dichloride, oxalate, malonate or pyrophosphate ligands have been synthesized. The complexes have been characterized using elemental analyses, mass, IR, and UV-Vis. spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic susceptibility, and thermal analysis. The complexes are diamagnetic and the electronic spectral data showed that peaks are due to low spin octahedral Ru(II) complexes. The optimized structures of the complexes 1-4 indicate distorted octahedral geometry with bond angles around the ruthenium atom ranged from 80.44 degrees to 99.64 degrees. The values of the electronic energies (-635 to -1145 a.u.), the highest occupied molecular orbital energies (-0.181 to 0.073 a.u.) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies (-0.056 to 0.167 a.u.) indicate the stability of the complexes. The complexes are polarized as indicated from the dipole moment values (9.39-14.27 Debye). The complexes have noticeable cytotoxicity with IC50 (mu M): 0.011-0.062 (HepG-2), 0.015-0.080 (MCF-7), 0.015-0.116 (HCT-116), and PC-3 (0.034-0.125).Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Contribution of O-2 Plasma Treatment and Amine Modified Gos on Film Properties of Conductive Pedot:pss: Application in Indium Tin Oxide Free Solution Processed Blue Oled(Elsevier, 2019) Diker, Halide; Yeşil, Fatih; Varlıklı, CananPrimary (n-propyl amine, n-PRYLA), secondary (dipropyl amine, DPRYLA) and alcohol (propanol amine, PRPOHA) amine derivatives were used as amine sources in graphene oxide (GO) modification and obtained samples were named as nPRYLA-GO, DPRYLA-GO and PRPOHA-GO, respectively. Modified graphene oxide (mGO) derivatives were doped in poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PH1000) and O-2 plasma treatment (70W, 3 min) was applied on the spin casted films. PH1000:mGO films presented high optical transparency values (> 90%) and low resistivity (177-183 Q/sq). The roughness values were increased especially when the hydrophobic alkyl chain containing DPRYLA-GO and nPRYLA-GO were doped in PH1000. Prepared films were utilized as anode in solution processed blue organic light emitting diode. PH1000:PRPOHA-GO anode presented more than 30 nm of decrement in full with at half maximum and 1.6, 1.5 and 1.9 fold enhancements in current, power and external quantum efficiency values, compared to those of ITO anode, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29Enhancing the Efficiency of Mixed Halide Mesoporous Perovskite Solar Cells by Introducing Amine Modified Graphene Oxide Buffer Layer(Elsevier, 2020) Şahin, Çiğdem; Diker, Halide; Sygkridou, Dimitra; Varlıklı, Canan; Stathatos, EliasIn this study, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized via Tour method and then modified with two different amine sources that contained different branched alkyl chains. The GO and modified GOs (mGOs) with dihexylamine (DHA) and 2-ethylhexylamine (2EHA) as amine sources were used respectively as buffer layers in mixed halide mesoporous perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in order to examine whether they could improve their performance. GO and mGO samples were characterized by several techniques such as X-Ray Diffraction, X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman analysis and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The preparation of the CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite solution was performed using standard Schlenk techniques under argon atmosphere to attain a homogeneous coverage of the perovskite film. The solar cells with the additional layer of mGO derivatives between perovskite and hole transporting layer showed an improved overall performance compared to the reference devices which was attributed to the enhanced charge carrier transport via the mGOs. In particular, 10% increase to the overall performance of the solar cells was monitored in devices where 2-ethylhexylamine (2EHA) modified GO was used, compared to standard cell without buffer layer.

However, their molecular aggregation in solid state is one of the main handicaps since it causes deviation in their optical properties and quenches photoluminescence quantum yields (Phi(f)). Investigation of the photophysical properties of a green (PTE), a yellow (PDI) and a new red (DiPhAPDI) emitting perylene derivative in solution, drop-casted films, polystyrene (PS) fibers and PS fibers embedded in poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) showed that PS:dye fibers prevent aggregation to some extend and allows high Of of dyes. The Of values of PTE, PDI and DiPhAPDI were all higher than 93.0% in solution and 84.8%, 94.3% and 73.6%, respectively in PS:dye fibers. Embedding the fibers in PDMS improved the photostabilities of the dyes two folds compared to their solution phases. The prepared dye containing fibers were combined together into a single PDMS film and utilized as a frequency conversion layer on a blue LED. Fabricated samples were found to show high color rendering index (>= 90), adjustable CCT (7500 K-5000 K), and power efficiency values exceeding 2001m/W depending on the used fiber amount in mass.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Structural Stability of Physisorbed Air-Oxidized Decanethiols on Au(111)(American Chemical Society, 2020) Kabanoy, Nikolai; Tsvetanova, Martina; Klaysyuk, Andrey L.; Zandvliet, Harold J. W.; Sotthewes, Kai; Kap, Özlem; Varlıklı, CananWe have studied the dynamic behavior of decanethiol and air-oxidized decanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) using time-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy at room temperature. The air-oxidized decanethiols arrange in a lamellae-like structure leaving the herringbone reconstruction of the Au(111) surface intact, indicating a rather weak interaction between the molecules and the surface. Successive STM images show that the air-oxidized molecules are structurally more stable as compared to the nonoxidized decanethiol molecules. This is further confirmed by performing current-time traces with the feedback loop disabled at different locations and at different molecular phases. Density function theory calculations reveal that the diffusion barrier of the physisorbed oxidized decanethiol molecule on Au(111) is about 100 meV higher than the diffusion barrier of a chemisorbed Au-decanethiol complex on Au(111). A two-dimensional activity map of individual current-time traces performed on the air-oxidized decanethiol phase reveals that all the dynamic events take place within the vacancy lines between the air-oxidized decanethiols. These results reveal that the oxidation of thiols provides a pathway to produce more robust and stable self-assembled monolayers at ambient conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 32Enhanced Capacitive Behaviour of Graphene Based Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors by Etheric Substitution on Ionic Liquids(Elsevier, 2020) Siyahjani, Shirin; Öner, Saliha; Diker, Halide; Gültekin, Burak; Varlıklı, CananIn this study, we report the effect of etheric substituents in imidazolium and ammonium based ionic liquids (IL) on the performance of electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLC) consisted of gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) electrode. GPEs contain poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluompropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and the ILs. Ammonium and imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) differ by their length of etheric groups and etheric group contents, respectively. According to the cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic chargedischarge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, longer etheric group substituted {N-methyl-2- (2-methoxyethoxy)-N,N-bis [2- (2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl] ethan-1-aminium bis(tri-fluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (AMEt-TFSI) and ether substituted (3-allyl-1-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl]-1H-imidazole-3-ium bis(trifluommethanesulfonyeimide (AL3IL-TFSI), tender specific capacitances of 250 Fg(-1) and 238 Fg(-1) and energy density values of 61.36 wh kg(-1) and 61.56 wh kg(-1), respectively.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Fabrication and Characterization of a Solution Processed Flexible Thermal Sensor by Using Chemically Synthesized Go and Rgo(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Bozkurt, Hakan; Diker, Halide; Varlıklı, CananGraphene oxide (GO) was reduced by ascorbic acid which is an environmental-friendly reductant and obtained sample was named as reduced GO (rGO). Stable dispersions of GO and rGO were prepared in N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF). Compared to GO sample, rGO was determined to have more thermal stability, smaller sheet size and lower surface energy. GO and rGO dispersions were drop-casted on aluminum (Al) coated acetate substrate and used as thermal sensor. Fabricated sensors were tested from 25 °C to 150 °C. The sensors fabricated with GO, were not stabile against driven temperature changes. However, rGO ones, presented no thermal hysteresis effect after the first heating step. This sensor (Al/rGO/Al) acted like an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor. The resistance of the rGO sensor was changed between 42 k? to 25 k? depending on the test temperature range (25 °C to 150 °C). Average beta value was calculated as 519.7649 K. © 2019 IEEE.
