Combining donor and acceptor moieties in the polymer backbone enhances D–A interactions and helps in developing the most efficient polymers for various applications. Besides obtaining low band gap polymers, the D–A approach is also useful in producing polymers with improved optical, mechanical and electronic properties. Changing both or either of the donor/acceptor groups is an effective method to design these alternating systems. For this purpose different acceptors units such as; benzothiodiazole, benzotriazole, quinoxaline and benzimidazole were coupled with different donor units but the desired properties could not be combined up to now. In this thesis firstly it is aimed to design a new acceptor unit which is the combination of benzotriazole and quinoxaline units (triazoloquinoxaline unit). After synthesis of this new acceptor unit, it was coupled with donor units and electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical characterization were performed. Furthermore affect of π bridge on electrochemical behaviors were also investigated via synthesizing benzotriazole and triphenylamine bearing random copolymers. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and UV–Vis-NIR spectrohotometer were used to investigate electrochemical behaviors of the the monomers and conducting polymers. Finally while triazoloquinoxaline derivatives were used for electrochromic device applications, triphenylamine bearing copolymers were used for organic solar cell applications as donor materials.

Development of P and N type donor acceptor conjugated polymers for electrochromic and organic solar cell applications / Akbaşoğlu Ünlü, Naime; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2015) Donor-acceptor (D-A) approach is highly efficient to obtain p-type and n-type materials with desired intrinsic optical and electrochemical properties. Therefore, in this study a series of p-type and n- type DA type conjugated polymers was synthesized with combination of electron donating and electron-withdrawing heterocyclics to understand the effects of structural modifications on electrochemical, optoelectronic and photovoltaic properties. Synthesized polymers were utilized for electrochromic and organic ...
Syntheses of functional materials for organic photovoltaic and electrochromic device applications Varlıoğlu, Figen; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2017) Thienothiophene based moities are widely investigated for organic solar cell applications. In this study, after synthesizing 2-ethylhexyl 4,6-dibromothieno [3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate successfully, copolymerization with commercially available donor 4-(2-ethylhexyl)-2,6-bis(trimethylstannyl)-4H-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyrrole, DTPy, was performed via Stille coupling. At each step, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy were performed for structural analysis. Cyclic voltammogram was used for investig...
Synthesis, characterizations and photovoltaic applications of dithienothiophene and benzotriazole containing conjugated polymers Cevher, Şevki Can; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2013) Fused bithiophene containing conjugated polymers are recently used in different applications; for example organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, electrochromic devices and organic field effect transistors. Fused bithiophene derivatives increase the planarity, charge mobility and decrease band gap when incorporated into the polymer backbone. Connecting atom between the bithiopheneunit can be phosphorous, silicon, nitrogen and sulphur. In this thesis, dihienothiophene was coupled with benzotriazole via S...
Electrochemical polymerization of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole as a novel immobilization platform for microbial sensing Tuncagil, Sevinc; ODACI DEMİRKOL, DİLEK; Varis, Serhat; TİMUR, SUNA; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2009-09-01) Two types of bacterial biosensor were constructed by immobilization of Gluconobacter oxydans and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells on graphite electrodes modified with the conducting polymer; poly(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole) [SNS(NO2)]. The measurement was based on the respiratory activity of cells estimated by the oxygen consumption at -0.7 V due to the metabolic activity in the presence of substrate. As well as analytical characterization, the linear detection ranges, effects of electropo...
Development of hole transport transparent conductive electrodes for n-type crystalline silicon solar cells Akdemir, Ozan; Bek, Alpan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2018) Conventional transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) used in crystal silicon (c-Si) solar cells are commonly made of indium tin oxide (ITO) which provides low sheet resistance and high transparency. However, due to indium scarcity, ITO layers increase the fabrication cost; thus, alternative TCEs, such as fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), zinc oxide (ZnO), metal nanowires and Oxide/Metal/Oxide (OMO) multilayers, are being investigated. Conventional solar cells also make use of doped layers, to create the junc...
