Hierarchically nanostructured composite electrodes were prepared by the electrodeposition of manganese dioxide nanowires (MnO2 NWs) with 5-20 nm diameters on electrospun carbon nanofiber (CNF) webs with diameters of 250 and 650 nm. The effects of CNF diameters and mass loading of MnO2 NWs on the hierarchical nanostructure formation and the performance of the composite electrodes were investigated. The internal structure of the composite electrode depended on CNF diameter and mass loading of MnO2 NW. The electrodes based on thinner CNFs and higher mass loadings of MnO2 NWs showed higher values of gravimetric and volumetric capacitances. This would be due to MnO2 NWs forming a dense network in the thinner three-dimensional CNF framework. In addition, asymmetric supercapacitors with the MnO2 NW/CNF composite electrode as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode showed high energy and power densities of 8.9 W h kg(-1) and 4.9 kW kg(-1), respectively. These results clearly indicate that the hierarchical network nanostructure composed of an active material and a charge collector can be considered a promising electrode for various electrochemical devices.

Spectroscopy of the ODD-ODD nucleus 76As and its supersymmetric description Hoyler, F.; Jolie, J.; Colvin, G.G.; Börner, H.G.; Schreckenbach, K.; Van Isacker, P.; Fettweis, P.; Göktürk, H.; Dehaes, J.C.; Casten, R.F.; Warner, D.D.; Bruce, A.M. (Elsevier BV, 1990) Gamma rays and conversion electrons following thermal-neutron capture in 75As have been measured using the Ge pair spectrometer PN4, the bent crystal spectrometers GAMS and the β-spectrometer BILL at the ILL. Coincident γ-rays were recorded at the CEN/SCK Mol, and average resonance capture at En = 2 and 24 keV has been studied at the HFBR of BNL. The neutron binding energy in 76As was determined to be 7328.498 ± 0.075 keV. The resulting level scheme for 76As greatly improves the knowledge on this odd-odd nu...
Sorption Efficiency of Chitosan Nanofibers toward Metal Ions at Low Concentrations Horzum, Nesrin; Boyacı, Ezel; Eroglu, Ahmet E.; Shahwan, Talal; Demir, Mustafa M. (2010-12-01) Chitosan fibers showing narrow diameter distribution with a mean of 42 nm were produced by electrospinning and utilized for the sorption of Fe(III), Cu(II), Ag(I), and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The ion concentrations in the supernatant solutions were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The filtration efficiency of the fibers toward these ions was studied by both batch and microcolumn methods. High efficiency in sorption of the metal ions was obtained in the both...
Device Characterization of ZnInSe2 Thin Films Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV; 2016-01-01) p-Si/n-ZnInSe2 hetero-junction diode was deposited by thermal evaporation of elemental evaporation sources on the 600 mu m thick p-type (1 1 1) mono-crystalline Si wafers having the resistivity value of 1 - 3 (Omega.cm). Detailed electrical characterization of the hetero-junction was performed by the help of temperature dependent current-voltage measurements. The forward current-voltage behaviour of the hetero-junction diode was investigated under the evaluation of possible current transport mechanisms. In ...
Epoxidation of Ethylene by Silver Oxide (Ag2O) Cluster: A Density Functional Theory Study Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; van Santen, Rutger A.; Önal, Işık (2011-06-01) Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to study epoxidation of ethylene on a [Ag14O9] cluster model representing silver oxide (001) surface. Theoretical results obtained in this study showed that formation paths of acetaldehyde and vinyl alcohol have higher activation barriers than that of ethylene oxide formation path on silver oxide (35 and 35 vs. 20 kcal/mol). Formation of the ethylene oxometallocycle intermediate is found to have a low probability on Ag2O(001) surface. The essential ...
Bosonic helium droplets with cationic impurities: Onset of electrostriction and snowball effects from quantum calculations Coccia, E.; Bodo, E.; Marinetti, F.; Gianturco, F. A.; Yıldırım, Erol; Yurtsever, M.; Yurtsever, E. (AIP Publishing, 2007-03-28) Variational Monte Carlo and diffusion Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out for cations such as Li(+), Na(+), and K(+) as dopants of small helium clusters over a range of cluster sizes up to about 12 solvent atoms. The interaction has been modeled through a sum-of-potential picture that disregards higher order effects beyond atom-atom and atom-ion contributions. The latter were obtained from highly correlated ab initio calculations over a broad range of interatomic distances. This study focuses on ...
