    Influence of Cation Size and Polarity on Charge Transport in Ionic Liquid Based Electrolytes
    (Wiley, 2022) Aydın, Banu; Öner, Saliha; Zafer, Ceylan; Varlıklı, Canan
    Imidazolium-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.

    Enhanced 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, Canan
    In 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.

    Synthesis, Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties of Novel Carbazole-Triazine Based High Triplet Energy, Solution-Processable Materials
    (Elsevier, 2018) Öner, Saliha; Aydemir, Murat; Yeşil, Fatih; Şahin, Çiğdem; Varlıklı, Canan
    A series of molecules; tBuCz1SiTrz, tBuCz2SiTrz and tBuCz3SiTrz, which contain carbazole unit as hole-transporting group (donor-D) and triazine unit as electron transporting group (acceptor-A) were synthesized and characterized as high-triplet energy (>2.9 eV), solution-processable bipolar emitting materials. The conjugation between the D-A groups was interrupted by using bulky tetraphenylsilane groups as spacer aiming to obtain large bandgap and high-triplet energy. The photophysical behaviors of the molecules were investigated by UV-Vis absorption, photoluminescence, phosphorescence, photoluminescence quantum yield and lifetime measurements. Solvent polarity effects were investigated on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) behaviour and large solvatochromic effect was observed with the increasing solvent polarity. Electrochemical properties were determined by cyclic voltammetry. All molecules showed oxidation bands arise from the carbazole groups. Reduction bands were originated from the triazine groups and the intramolecular charge transfer between D-A groups. Photophysical, electrochemical and computational characterizations addressed that tBuCz2SiTrz has the weakest ICT character, highest photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and charge balance.

    Highly Efficient Supercapacitor Using Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Electrodes and Ionic Liquid Incorporated Solid Gel Electrolyte
    (SAGE Publications, 2018) Siyahjani, Shirin; Öner, Saliha; Singh, Pramod K.; Varlıklı, Canan
    Gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) comprising a low viscosity ionic liquid, that is, 1-propyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide (PMI-TFSI, viscosity 38 cP at 20°C) and a polymer, that is, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) have been prepared using solution cast technique and characterized by impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Blending PMI-TFSI with PVA matrix hindered the crystallinity of polymer matrix and presented remarkable enhancement in electrical conductivity with a conductivity maxima at 250 wt% PMI-TFSI. The prepared electric double-layer capacitor using single-walled carbon nanotube as symmetric electrodes and PVA:250 wt% PMI-TFSI as GPE presented a capacitance value of about 28 F g−
