Article The Impact of Quaternization Degree in Polyepichlorohydrin-Based Anion Exchange Membranes on Salinity Gradient Energy Generation by Reverse Electrodialysis(Elsevier, 2025) Cihanoglu, Aydin; Guler, Enver; Kabay, NalanAnion exchange membranes with tailored fixed-charge densities can improve monovalent ion selectivity and performance in reverse electrodialysis for salinity gradient power generation. In this study, poly(epichlorohydrin) was blended with polyacrylonitrile and quaternized with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane at three different molar ratios to produce AEMs with systematically varied quaternization degrees via a one-step amination/ crosslinking procedure. The resulting membranes were characterized for their physicochemical, electrochemical, and RED performance using ATR-FTIR, XPS, SEM, AFM, water uptake, swelling degree, contact angle, surface zeta potential, ion exchange capacity, fixed charge density, and electrical resistance. Higher quaternization increased the IEC, reduced resistance, and shifted surface charge, leading to improved stack power output in model NaCl solutions. In the presence of Na2SO4, power loss was reduced for more highly quaternized membranes, indicating enhanced exclusion of divalent anions (SO42-) and reduced uphill transport. Fouling tests with humic acid/fulvic acid mixtures showed greater stability for quaternized membranes compared to a commercial benchmark. Moreover, stability tests conducted on fouled membranes revealed that the tailor-made membrane exhibits superior durability and lower fouling-induced power loss than commercial Fujifilm Type II AEMs. Overall, these results demonstrate that tuning the degree of quaternization is an effective strategy to balance conductivity and ion selectivity in AEMs for RED applications.Doctoral Thesis Baraj Rezervuarlarında Sediment Oksijen İhtiyacı ile Su Kalitesi ve Besin Madde İlişkisinin Modellenmesi(2022) Abdulqader, Noor N.; Güler, Enver; Genç, Aslı NumanoğluBurada sunulan çalışma, Ankara'daki Kurtboğazı baraj rezervuarının yüzey ve dip çökellerindeki kirleticileri temsil etmek üzere simüle edilen bir su kalitesi modeli olan WASP8'e (Su analizi simülasyon programı) dayalı bir model yaklaşımıdır. Çalışmada yeralan su kalitesi değişkenleri şunlardır: sıcaklık, nitrat, toplam fosfor, toplam Kjeldahl, çözünmüş oksijen, Klorofil a ve amonyum. Rezervuardaki gerçek durumu temsil etmesini sağlamak için simülasyon modelimizin sonuçları Kurtboğazı baraj sahasından alınan gerçek veriler kullanılarak kalibre edilmiş ve istatiksel verilerden yararlanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada özgün olarak, su kütlesinde meydana gelen durum değişkenlerinin tepkilerini, birbirleriyle nasıl etkileşime girdiklerini ve bunların Kurtboğazı rezervuarının genel kalite durumu üzerindeki etkilerini tahmin etmek için bir kalite modelinin geliştirilmesi araştırılmıştır. Modelin doğruluğu, simüle edilmiş modelimizin rezervuar alanındaki özellikleri temsil edebildiğini gösteren mükemmel sonuç aralıkları üreten belirleme katsayısı ve bağıl hata biçimindeki istatistik teknikleri kullanılarak kontrol edilmiştir. Kurtboğazı baraj rezervuarı, tabakalaşma dönemlerinde hipolimnetik tabakada çözülmüş oksijen tükenmesi gibi olumsuz etkilerden etkilenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, tortu-su arayüzündeki oksijen tüketimi süreçlerini kavramak hala zordur. Temel olarak, tortu oksijen tükenmesi ve tortu oksijen talebi SOD ile bağlantılıdır. Bu nedenle, bu model, su yöneticileri için anoksik durumu ve bentik akıyı etkileyen parametrelerin tahmini için faydalı bir araç olarak hizmet edebilir.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticle-Immobilized Antibacterial Anion-Exchange Membranes for Salinity Gradient Energy Production by Reverse Electrodialysis(Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Eti, Mine; Cihanoglu, Aydin; Hamaloglu, Kadriye Ozlem; Altiok, Esra; Guler, Enver; Tuncel, Ali; Kabay, NalanBiofouling, stemming from the attachment of living microorganisms, such as bacteria, which form resilient biofilms on membrane surfaces, presents a significant challenge that hampers the efficiency of anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) in reverse electrodialysis (RED) applications. This limitation curtails the generation of electrical power from salinity gradients, which notably is a sustainable form of energy known as osmotic energy. RED stands as a clean and promising process to harness this renewable energy source. This study aimed to impart antibacterial activity to synthesized AEMs by using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). For that purpose, AgNPs were synthesized at 30 degree celsius using two different pH values (6.0 and 9.0) and immobilized into synthesized AEMs using the dip-coating technique. In nanoparticle synthesis, ascorbic acid and trisodium citrate were used as a reductant and a stabilizer, respectively, to take control of the particle size and agglomeration behavior. The results indicated that AgNPs synthesized at pH 6.0 were dispersed on the AEM surface without agglomeration. The stability of AgNPs immobilized on the membrane surface was tested under low- and high-saline solutions. The antibacterial activities of AEMs were determined with the colony-counting method using Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterial suspension. The viability of bacteria dramatically decreased after the immobilization of AgNPs in the AEMs. In the short- and long-term RED tests, it has been observed that the AEMs having AgNPs have high energy-generating potentials, and power density up to 0.372 W/m(2) can be obtained.Review Citation - Scopus: 7Ion Exchange Membranes for Reverse Electrodialysis (red) Applications - Recent Developments(Amirkabir University of Technology - Membrane Processes Research Laboratory, 2021) Eti,M.; Othman,N.H.; Guler,E.; Kabay,N.The innovative membrane-based technology called reverse electrodialysis (RED) is capable of producing electrical power from the controlled mixing of two aqueous streams of different salinity. There has been tremendous progress so far in the development of RED process in terms of system development, spacer design, membranes properties and operational conditions optimization. Among those, characteristics of the ion exchange membranes are found to be the critical element affecting the performances of RED process. In this respect, a brief overview of the latest developments in ion exchange membranes were presented in this review, focussing on their properties and performances in RED applications. The recent developments of nanocomposite and ion selective membranes, particularly pore filling ion exchange membranes due to their high performances and inexpensive fabrication cost were also summarized. Shortly, fouling problem for the ion exchange membranes employed in the RED system was mentioned. © 2021 Amirkabir University of Technology - Membrane Processes Research Laboratory.

The feed solutions, including the mixture of two different salts, were prepared with 90 wt.% of NaCl and 10 wt.% of LiCl, KCl, CaCl2, MgCl2 or Na2SO4 by keeping the salt ratio between high concentrate solution and low concentrate solution constant as 1:30 (g/g) at various flow velocities (50, 125 and 200 mL/min). It was observed that the divalent ions exhibited a negative impact on the performance of the RED system due to their high valence and low ionic mobility depending on their high hydrated radius and low diffusion coefficients compared to those of the monovalent ions. On the other hand, the effect of the monovalent ions differed according to the properties of ion exchange membranes used in the RED stack. When the power generation performances of ion exchange membrane pairs employed in the RED stack were compared, it was considered that Neosepta AMX and CMX membranes provided the highest power density due to their low membrane thicknesses, low electrical resistances, and relatively high ion exchange capacities compared to other two commercial ion exchange membrane pairs.Article Citation - WoS: 15Metal-Salt Enhanced Grafting of Vinylpyridine and Vinylimidazole Monomer Combinations in Radiation Grafted Membranes for High-Temperature PEM Fuel Cells(Amer Chemical Soc, 2020) Mojarrad, Naeimeh Rajabalizadeh; Sadeghi, Sahl; Kaplan, Begum Yarar; Guler, Enver; Gursel, Selmiye AlkanProton exchange membranes were prepared and characterized for utilization in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells, HT-PEMFCs. 1-vinylimidazole (1-VIm) and 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) monomers were simultaneously grafted onto pre-irradiated ETFE (ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) films which were prepared using gamma-rays with a dose of 100 kGy, as a robust substrate to prepare acid-base composite membranes. The grafting reaction was performed at 60 degrees C for 24 h followed by protonation via phosphoric acid doping in the subsequent step. The effect of adding ferrous salts as promoters in grafting was investigated by characterization of resultant membranes via thermal gravimetric analysis and mechanical tests. The fuel cell tests were conducted under different relative humidities (RHs) and applied temperatures. Membranes prepared with salt addition exhibited superior proton conductivities. Results including up to 80 mS cm(-1) conductivity at 110 degrees C in 60% RH and excellent thermal stability, even at 300 degrees C, suggest these membranes are promising for HT-PEMFC applications.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 28Enhancing Proton Conductivity Via Sub-Micron Structures in Proton Conducting Membranes Originating From Sulfonated Pvdf Powder by Radiation-Induced Grafting(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Sadeghi, Sahl; Sanli, Lale Isikel; Guler, Enver; Gursel, Selmiye AlkanWe report here submicron-structured proton conducting poly(vinylidene fluoride)-graft-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PVDF-g-PSSA) membranes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Highly conductive proton exchange membranes were obtained by single-step radiation grafting of sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) to powder-form PVDF, followed by casting and subsequent solvent evaporation. The obtained submicron structure of membrane through solvent evaporation led to the arrangement of ionic channels proving increasing proton conductivity with the increase in graft level. In addition, a temperature above melting point of PVDF was used for solvent evaporation to allow melted PVDF to fill the formed pores, providing denser structure resulting in improved mechanical properties of the membranes. SSS grafting to PVDF powder was verified by NMR spectroscopy, and resultant membranes were characterized for proton conductivity, water up-take, morphology, mechanical and thermal properties, and fuel cell performance. According to preliminary tests, proton conductivities which were observed to increase with graft level were found to be around 70 mS cm(2) at 35% graft level. Thus, this led to a promising power density of 250 mW/cm(2) at 650 mA/cm(2).Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Salinity Gradient Energy Conversion by Custom-Made Interpolymer Ion Exchange Membranes Utilized in Reverse Electrodialysis System(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Altiok, Esra; Kaya, Tugce Zeynep; Smolinska-Kempisty, Katarzyna; Guler, Enver; Kabay, Nalan; Tomaszewska, Barbara; Bryjak, MarekReverse electrodialysis (RED) is one of methods to extract salinity gradient energy between two aqueous solu-tions with different salt concentrations. In this work, custom-made interpolymer ion exchange membranes were employed in the RED stack. The effects of divalent (Mg2+, Ca2+ , SO42-) and monovalent (Li+, K+ and Cl-) ions in the feed solutions prepared from NaCl salt as a function of such process parameters as number of membrane pairs, flow rate , salinity ratio on power generation by the RED method were studied. It was shown that the maximum power density of 0.561 W/m2 was reached by using three membrane pairs using 1:45 of salt ratio with a feed flow rate of 120 mL/min using only NaCl salt in the feed solutions. The maximum power density was 0.398 W/m2 at 120 mL/min of the flow rate of the feed solutions composed of 90 wt% NaCl and 10 wt% KCl by using a salt ratio of 1:30 while the lowest power density of 0.246 W/m2 was obtained with a feed flow rate of 30 mL/min in the presence of SO42-ions with a similar salt ratio. Consequently, it was seen that while the presence of divalent ions in NaCl solutions had negative impact on power generation by RED system, the addition of monovalent ions having smaller hydrated radius than that of the Na+ ions contributed positively to the power generation.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Comparison of Physicochemical Properties of Two Types of Polyepichlorohydrin-Based Anion Exchange Membranes for Reverse Electrodialysis(Mdpi, 2022) Karakoc, Ezgi; Guler, EnverThe development of the most effective, suitable and economic ion-exchange membranes is crucial for reverse electrodialysis (RED)-the most widely studied process to harvest salinity gradient energy from mixing seawater and river water. RED utilizes two types of membranes as core elements, namely cation exchange membranes (CEM) and anion exchange membranes (AEM). Since the preparation of AEMs is more complex compared to CEMs, the design and development of anion exchange membranes have been the focus in this study. Homogeneous AEMs based on two types of polyepichlorohydrin (PECH) with different chlorine amounts (PECH-H, 37 wt% and PECH-C, 25 wt%) were synthesized, and first-time benchmarking of the membrane properties was conducted. In addition to physicochemical membrane properties, some instrumental analyses such as SEM, FTIR and DSC were investigated to characterize these anion-exchange membranes. Based on the results, although the PECH-H-type membrane had enhanced ion-exchange properties, PECH-C-based anion-exchange membranes exhibited a higher power density of 0.316 W/m(2) in a lab-scale RED system. Evidently, there is room for the development of new types of PECH-C-based AEMs with great potential for energy generation in the RED process.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Characterization and Fuel Cell Performance of Divinylbenzene Crosslinked Phosphoric Acid Doped Membranes Based on 4-Vinylpyridine Grafting Onto Poly(ethylene-Co Films(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) Guler, Enver; Sadeghi, Sahl; Gursel, Selmiye AlkanThe effect of divinylbenzene (DVB) as crosslinker on the graft polymerization of 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) from poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films was studied. The resulted films were doped with phosphoric acid (PA) and characterized for mechanical, surface, thermal properties, and fuel cell performance. The crosslinked membrane obtained from grafting a mixture of 4VP with 1% DVB improved the polymerization kinetics and resulted in about 50% graft level depending on graft conditions. The crosslinked membranes were also found to have better mechanical properties compared to its non-crosslinked counterpart. The resulted membrane exhibited proton conductivity as high as 75 mS/cm under 50% relative humidity (RH) at 120 degrees C, besides almost doubling the power output of fuel cell compared to a non-crosslinked membrane. To the best of our knowledge, DVB crosslinked 4VP based ETFE membranes were, for the first time, tested in practical fuel cell test station correlating their performance to operating temperature. Furthermore, surface properties of produced membranes were additionally correlated to the degree of crosslinking. Humidity dependence is less pronounced in the produced membranes resulting in strong potential for testing at intermediate temperature (80-120 degrees C) polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.
