Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Photocatalytic Activity of Dye-Sensitized and Non-Sensitized Go-Tio2 Nanocomposites Under Simulated and Direct Sunlight(Wiley-Blackwell, 2022) İlhan, Hatice; Durmaz Çaycı, Gamze Belkis; Aksoy, Erkan; Diker, Halide; Varlıklı, CananGraphene oxide (GO), amine-modified graphene oxide (mGO), and N-TiO2 composites were synthesized by low-temperature hydrothermal method and characterized by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FTIR, and BET analysis techniques. The films of synthesized TiO2, mGO:TiO2, N-TiO2, GO:TiO2, GO:N-TiO2, and commercially available P25 were prepared by doctor blade method. These films and their perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxy tetrabutylester (PTE)-sensitized forms were employed as photocatalysts for the photodegradation of rhodamine-B (RhB) under Xe lamp and direct sunlight irradiations. Independent from the irradiation source, the photocatalytic order of the non-sensitized films were GO:N-TiO2 > GO:TiO2 > N-TiO2 > mGO:TiO2 > TiO2 > P25, but seven and 15 folds of increments were detected under direct sunlight irradiation. PTE-sensitized catalyst films exhibited more than two folds of increase in the photocatalytic rate constants compared to their non-sensitized counterparts under Xe lamp irradiation. Under direct sunlight irradiation no matter which photocatalyst was used, the photocatalytic activity of these films was enhanced seven folds. Reusability tests revealed no significant changes in the photocatalytic rate constants obtained with both the non-sensitized and sensitized films.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.

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.
