    Benzotellurodiazol Esaslı Yeni Anorganik-organik Melez Elektroaktif Monomerlerin Sentezi
    (2017) Cihaner, Atilla; Işık, Murat; Algı, Fatih
    Bu çalışmada benzotelluradiazol ve benzimidazol birim esaslı altı farklı elektron verici-alıcı- verici (V-A-V) monomerin sentezi, karakterizasyonu ve polimerizasyonu rapor edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Benzotelluradiazol esaslı V-A-V monomerleri başarı ile sentezlenememiş olsada benzimidazole esaslı V-A-V monomerleri başarılı bir biçimde sentezlenmiş, karakterize edilmiş ve elektrokimyasal olarak polimerleştirilmiştir. Benzotiyadiazol ve benzoselenadiazol türevleri gibi, tiyofen ve 3,4-alkilendioksitiyofen elektron verici birimleri ile birleştirilmiş benzimidazole birimleri içeren polimerler 1.50 eV ve 1.57 eV aralığında dar band aralığı değerlerine sahip olup dışarıdan uygulanan potensiyel altında elektrokromik özellikler göstermiştir. Diğer bir taraftan benzotelluradiazol türevleri için daha önceden literatürde rapor edilen sentez reçeteleri bu çalışmadaki benzotelluradiazol esaslı V-A-V monomerlerinin sentezinde çalışmamıştır. Malesef literatürde benzotiyadiazol veya benzoselenadiazol içerikli polimerlerin benzotelluradiazol içerikli polimerlerin dönüşümünde kullanılan sentez reçeteleri monomer ve oligomer sentezlerinde çalışmamıştır. Bunun yanında teorik çalışmalar benzotelluradiazol esaslı V-A-V tipi monomerlerin ve oligomerlerin oda sıcaklığında kararlı bileşikler olduğunu ve diğer elektron alıcı benzerleri ile karşılaştırıldığında daha düşük band aralıklı polimerler verebileceğini göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak benzotelluradiazol esaslı monomerler sentezleyebilmek için bilinen sentez reçetelerinin dışında yeni stratejilerin ve reçetelerin uygulanması gerekmektedir. Bu konu üzerindeki çalışmalar sürmektedir.

    Deposition and Characterization of Znsnse2 Thin-Films Deposited by Using Sintered Stoichiometric Powder
    (2019) Sürücü, Özge Bayraklı; Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin
    In this work, ZnSnSe2 (ZTSe) thin films were deposited using crystalline powder grown by vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger technique. The deposition process was carried out by means of e-beam evaporation on the well-cleaned soda lime glass substrates and keeping them at the substrate temperature of 200°C. The structural, optical and electrical properties of ternary ZTSe thin films were investigated depending on the annealing temperature at 250 and 300°C. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that as-grown films were in amorphous structure, however annealing at 250°C triggered the crystallization on the preferred ternary structure and annealing at 300°C resulted in the changes from amorphous to the polycrystalline structure. Using the compositional analysis, the detail information about the stoichiometry and the segregation mechanisms of the constituent elements in the structure were determined for both as-grown and annealed samples. In addition, they were morphologically characterized using scanning electron microscopy technique. The electrical properties were analyzed using temperature dependent dark- and photo-conductivity measurements. From the variation of electrical conductivity as a function of the ambient temperature, the current transport mechanisms and corresponding activation energies at specific temperature intervals for each sample were determined. The optical properties for the ZTSe thin films were studied depending on the structural changes with annealing.

    Electrochemical and Optical Properties of an Azo Dye Based Conducting Copolymer
    (2009) Cihaner, Atilla; Algı, Fatih
    The electrochemical and optical properties of a novel conducting copolymer called poly(2,5' -dimethyl-[4- (2,5-di-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl)-phenyl]azobenzene-co-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)) (poly(1-co-EDOT)) are reported. Electrochemically synthesized poly(1-co-EDOT) based on the azo dye has a well-defined and reversible redox couple (0.37 V vs. Ag/AgCl) with good cycle stability. The copolymer film exhibits high conductivity (13 S/cm) as well as electrochromic behavior (magenta when neutralized and transmissive sky blue when oxidized). Furthermore, electro-optically active copolymer film has a low band gap of 1.79 eV with a π − π* transition at 555 nm.

    Ann-Assisted Forecasting of Adsorption Efficiency To Remove Heavy Metals
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019) Buaısha, Magdi; Balku, Şaziye; Yaman, Şeniz Özalp
    In wastewater treatment, scientific and practical models utilizing numerical computational techniques suchas artificial neural networks (ANNs) can significantly help to improve the process as a whole through adsorption systems.In the modeling of the adsorption efficiency for heavy metals from wastewater, some kinetic models have been used such as pseudo first-order and second-order. The present work develops an ANN model to forecast the adsorption efficiency of heavy metals such as zinc, nickel, and copper by extracting experimental data from three case studies. To do this, we apply trial-and-error to find the most ideal ANN settings, the efficiency of which is determined by mean square error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (R2). According to the results, the model can forecast adsorption efficiency percent (AE%) with a tangent sigmoid transfer function (tansig) in the hidden layer with 10 neurons and a linear transferfunction (purelin) in the output layer. Furthermore, the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is seen to be most ideal for training the algorithm for the case studies, with the lowest MSE and high R2 . In addition, the experimental results and the results predicted by the model with the ANN were found to be highly compatible with each other.

It is noteworthy that 1,2-bis(5-(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2-methylthiophen-3-yl)cyclopent-1-ene can be efficiently switched between open and closed states by light in both solution and in the solid poly(methyl metacrylate) (PMMA) matrix. It is also found that the emission of this novel compound can be switched on and off upon irradiation.

    (2016) Tankal, Hilal; Orhan, Özge Yüksel; Alper, Erdoğan; Özdoğan, Telhat; Kayı, Hakan
    The reaction kinetics of CO2absorption into new carbon dioxide binding organic liquids (CO2BOLs) was com-prehensively studied to evaluate their potential for CO2removal. A stopped- ow apparatus with conductivity detectionwas used to determine the CO2absorption kinetics of novel CO2BOLs composed of DBN (1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene)/1-propanol and TBD (1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene)/1-butanol. A modi ed termolecular reaction mechanismfor the reaction of CO2with CO2BOLs was used to calculate the observed pseudo- rst{order rate constant k0(s1)and second-order reaction rate constant k2(m3/kmol.s). Experiments were performed by varying organic base (DBN orTBD) weight percentage in alcohol medium for a temperature range of 288{308 K. It was found that k0increased withincreasing amine concentration and temperature. By comparing using two different CO2BOL systems, it was observedthat the TBD/1-butanol system has faster reaction kinetics than the DBN/1-propanol system. Finally, experimentaland theoretical activation energies of these CO2BOL systems were obtained and compared. Quantum chemical calcula-tions using spin restricted B3LYP and MP2 methods were utilized to reveal the structural and energetic details of thesingle-step termolecular reaction mechanism.

    Magnetic and optical bifunctional nanoparticles that combine easy separation, preconcentration, and efficientSERS capabilities have been fabricated with high sensitivity and reproducibility through a low-cost method. Thesegold nanoparticles attached on magnetic silica-coated cobalt nanospheres (Co@SiO2 /AuNPs) display the advantageof strong resonance absorption due to gaps at nanoscale between neighboring metal nanoparticles bringing large fieldenhancements, known as “hot spots”. The prepared particles can be controlled by using an external magnetic field,which makes them very promising candidates in biological applications and Raman spectroscopic analysis of dissolvedorganic species. The magnetic property of the prepared particles lowers the detection limits through preconcentrationwith solid-phase extraction in SERS analysis. The performance of the prepared nanostructures was evaluated as a SERSsubstrate using brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) and rhodamine 6G (R6G) as model compounds. The solid-phase affinityextraction of 4-mercapto benzoic acid (4-MBA) using bifunctional Co@SiO2 /AuNPs nanoparticles followed by magneticseparation and the measurement of the SERS signal on the same magnetic particles without elution were investigated.Approximately 50-fold increase in SERS intensity was achieved through solid-phase extraction of 8.3 × 10 −6 M 4-MBAin 10 min.
