Nowadays, people are on the edge of huge energy problem since the concentrations of greenhouse gases are dramatically increased and it causes the greenhouse effect that lead to warming of the Earth. In order to lessen the effect, OLED devices gain importance since they help to decrease the energy consumption because of its low driving voltage. Therefore, the discovery of OLED ushered a new epoch for flat panel displays and solid state lighting. The most powerful candidate of green energy source is the solar energy because electricity is generated by using sun light. In this manner, polymer light emitting diode and organic solar cell (OSC) devices were constructed. In this study, benzotriazole based conjugated polymers containing selenophene as π bridges were coupled with fluorene and carbazole via Suzuki condensation reaction. The structures of polymers were verified with NMR and molecular weights of polymers were determined via GPC. OLEDs with an ITO/PEDOT:PSS/polymer/LiF/Al configuration was constructed by using newly synthesized polymers and orange color was observed. Luminance values were determined as 6608 cd/m2 for P1 and 2540 cd/m2 luminance for P2. Luminous efficiencies were 0.95 cd/A for P1 at 8.0 V and 0.27 cd/A for P2 at 9.5 V, respectively. Photovoltaic properties of P2 were investigated using ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P2:PC71BM/LiF/Al device configuration. The best performance of P2 based OSC device showed a Voc 0.86 V, a Jsc of 4.32 mA/cm2, a fill factor (FF) of 47.0 %, and a PCE of 1.75% under standard AM 1.5 G at 100 mW/cm2.

Synthesis of bistriphenylamine and benzodithiophene based random conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaic applications Çetin, Aslı; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2018) Nowadays, traditional fossil fuels have become unable to compensate huge energy demand of the world due to the population increasing day by day and bringing about destructive greenhouse effect. Owing to all of these problems, renewable energy sources such as solar energy not only can be candidate for the solution of this expanded energy need but also can protect the earth by reducing the production of greenhouse gas. In this study, electronic, optical features and photovoltaic applications of two novel orga...
Copolymers comprising benzodithiophene and benzotriazole derivatives for organic solar cells Güven, Duygu; Çırpan, Ali; Arslan Udum, Yasemin; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2016) In recent years, converting different energy sources into electricity is under massive investigation. Sun light is an environmental source having a great potential to be utilized as a green energy source. The photovoltaic cells directly convert sun light into electricity. In this study, organic photovoltaic cells in which an active material absorbing sun light and generating electricity were examined. For this aim, two novel organic conjugated polymers were synthesized. Benzodithiophene moiety was used as a...
Syntheses of benzodithiophene and thienopyrroledione containing conjugated random polymers as components for organic solar cells Azeri, Özge; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2017) In recent years organic solar cells (OSC) have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for renewable energy technology because of their low cost, light weight and flexibility. In this study, in order to improve the efficiency of a bulk heterojunction solar cell, two conjugated random polymers were designed. For this purpose, benzodithiophene and thienopyrroledione containing two random copolymers were synthesized. The effects of several acceptors such as benzotriazole and benzothiadiazole o...
Uncertainty assessment in projection of the extreme river flows, the case of Ömerli catchment, İstanbul Engin, Batuhan Eren; Yücel, İsmail; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Earth System Science (2015) The average temperature at the surface of the Earth has been increasing over the past century due to the increased greenhouse gases concentrations in atmosphere through anthropogenic activities. Rising temperature leads to an increase in evaporation and thus intensifies the components of water cycle which results in extreme flows in different parts of the world through changes in globally averaged precipitation. Projection of extreme flows is very important in this aspect, yet obscurity about many factors t...
Development of supercapacitors with one dimensional nanomaterials Yüksel, Recep; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2016) For an ultimate victory of solar energy over polluting fossil fuels, we need to decrease the cost of electricity generated from the sun. The technology based on photovoltaic (PV) solar cell is offering the most promising alternative in this energy conversion. However, this can be possible only if we can reduce the cost of solar cell fabrication and/or increase the conversion efficiency. In order to increase the performance/cost ratio of solar cells, new approaches reducing optical and electrical losses are ...
