The influence of the electroplating parameters and their interactions on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the internal stress were studied during the electrodeposition of Ni and Ni-MoS2 composite coatings by fractional factorial design (FFD) and analyzed by Minitab software package. The parameters and their ranges were; MoS2 particle concentration (0 and 30 g/L), temperature (30 and 50 ºC), pH (2 and 4) and three surfactants, sodiumlignosulfonate (SLS), ammoniumlignosulfonate (ALS) and depramin-C (DC) (0 and 1 g/L), for voltammetric measurements of HER. The internal stress during electrodeposition was measured by deposit stress analyzer. The MoS2 particle concentration (0 and 10 g/L), temperature (30 and 50ºC), pH (2 and 4), current density (1.2 and 4.8 A/dm2) and coating thickness (25 and 50µm) were the parameters. The best combination of parameters (temperature: 50ºC, pH: 2, current density: 4.8 A/dm2, thickness: 50 µm, in presence of MoS2) for the lowest internal stress was determined. Meanwhile, the effects of mineral processing surfactants (SLS, ALS and DC) on homogeneity of MoS2 particles and on internal stress were investigated. Since relatively more homogenous particle distribution was observed when SLS was added, it was used in the experiments. The tribological behavior of Ni-MoS2 composite coatings developed under above mentioned conditions were studied by using a pin–on-disc tribometer. The effects of MoS2 particle concentration (5, 10 and 30 g/L), MoS2 particle size (1.440 and 5.156 µm average) and the surfactant (SLS) amount (0.3 and 1 g/L) on the friction and wear behaviour were investigated. Small particle size, high MoS2 and surfactant amount decreased the friction coefficient.

Electropolymerization of a New 4-(2,5-Di-2-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl)-Tetra Substituted Nickel Phthalocyanine Derivative
Yavuz, Arzu; Carbas, Buket Bezgin; Aras, Leyla; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Wiley, 2011-10-15)
A new tetrakis 4-(2,5-di-2-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl) substituted nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc-SNS) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), and UV-vis spectroscopies. The electrochemical polymerization of this newly synthesized NiPc-SNS was performed in dichloromethane (DCM)/tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) solvent/electrolyte couple. An insoluble film was deposited on the electrode surface, both during repetitive cycling and constant potential electr...
Adsorption of water and ammonia on TiO2-anatase cluster models
Önal, Işık; Senkan, Selim (2006-06-15)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed at B3LYP/6-31G** level are employed to study water and ammonia adsorption and dissociation on (101) and (001) TiO2 anatase surfaces both represented by totally fixed and partially relaxed Ti2O9H10 cluster models. PM3 semiempirical calculations were also conducted both on Ti2O9H10 and Ti9O33H30 clusters in order to assess the effect of cluster size. Following dissociation, the adsorption of H2O and NH3 by H-bonding on previously H2O and NH3 dissociated s...
Electrochemical study of tricarbonyl(eta(6)-cyclooctatetraene)metal(0) complexes of the group 6 elements
Yilmaz, GA; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Özkar, Saim (1998-08-01)
Tricarbonyl(eta(6)-cyclooctatetraene)metal(0) complexes of the group 6 elements were prepared by using the procedures described in the literature with some minor modifications and identified by IR and NMR spectroscopy. Their electrochemical behavior was studied by using cyclic voltammetry in dichloromethane solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate as supporting electrolyte. Their oxidation and reduction potentials were measured and discussed in terms of the frontier energy levels in co...
In situ DRIFTS characterization of wet-impregnated and sol-gel Pd/TiO 2 for NO reduction with CH4
Karakaş, Gürkan; Ozkan, Umit S. (Elsevier BV, 2002-05-01)
The adsorption/desorption behavior of 2%Pd/TiO2 catalysts synthesized by wet-impregnation and modified sol–gel techniques were examined in NO–CH4–O2 reaction using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The catalyst prepared by the modified sol–gel method showed significantly higher resistance toward oxygen while maintaining a 100% NO conversion. Under NO+CH4+O2 flow, the main adsorbed NO species was identified as the linearly adsorbed NO on metallic palladium (Pd0–NO)...

Sıkan, Fatih; Yaşar, Bengisu; KALAY, İLKAY (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-04-01)
The effect of rare-earth element (Sm) microalloying on the thermal stability and crystallization kinetics of melt-spun ribbons and suction-cast rods of Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 alloy were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atom probe tomography (APT). The XRD results of constant heating rate annealing indicated that amorphous Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 melt-spun ribbons devitrifies into Cu2Sm at 673 K (400 A degrees C). The sequ...
