In this study, a combinatorial approach was used to develop cathode materials with improved performance at temperatures in the range 500-700 degrees C. A thin film composite cathode library was obtained by co-sputtering of LSC-113 and LSC-214 onto suitably positioned substrates each with controlled compositions. The cathode library was screened with an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using symmetric cells. The study showed that the compositions with volume fractions in the range 0.40 < LSC-214 < 0.60 is particularly significant in yielding cathodes of improved performance. Refocusing the combinatorial screening to this range yielded LSC-113:LSC-214 = 0.45:0.55 as the most favorable compositions. Taking ASR = 0.15 Omega.cm(-2) as a useful benchmark, the study showed that cathodes in this range may be used at temperatures as low as 575 degrees C. It was further shown that composite cathodes have amorphous structures in co-sputtered conditions, and could remain so when used at reduced temperatures. At temperatures close to 700 degrees C the amorphous cathode turns into nanocrystalline two-phase structure with grains not more than 10 nm in size.

Combinatorial development of LSF-based cathode materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells
Kılıç, Fahrettin; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2021-6)
This thesis focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and processing of LSF based composite cathode for solid oxide fuel cells. The cathode comprises three oxides; LSM, LSF and ScSZ which are synthesized by co-sputtering using combinatorial approach. The electrolyte was Scandia doped Zirconia(ScSZ), as it has attractive ionic conductivity at lower temperatures. Having chosen the electrolyte ScSZ as electrolyte. After detailed analysis with regard to conductivity and thermal expansion for each oxide, the c...
Combinatorial search for hydrogen storage alloys: Mg-Ni and Mg-Ni-Ti
Olmez, Rabia; Cakmak, Gulhan; Öztürk, Tayfur (2010-11-01)
A combinatorial study was carried out for hydrogen storage alloys involving processes similar to those normally used in their fabrication. The study utilized a single sample of combined elemental (or compound) powders which were milled and consolidated into a bulk form and subsequently deformed to heavy strains. The mixture was then subjected to a post annealing treatment, which brings about solid state reactions between the powders, yielding equilibrium phases in the respective alloy system. A sample, comp...
Thermal plasma synthesis of LSC-113/LSC-214 composite cathode for IT-SOFCS
Aysal, Havva Eda; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019)
The current study follows the previous work in which a superior performance was obtained in the composite cathode (La0.8Sr0.2)CoO3 (LSC-113) / (La0.5Sr0.5)2CoO4 (LSC-214) where the cathode was amorphous/nanocrystalline as a result of cosputtering of the respective oxides. In the present work, cathodes of similar compositions were produced via thermal plasma and electrochemically characterized by impedance spectroscopy. The study has shown that nanopowders of LSC113/LSC-214 can be synthesized via thermal pla...
Spectroscopic ellipsometry study of Si nanocrystals embedded in a SiOx matrix: Modeling and optical characterization
Ilday, Serim; Nogay, Gizem; Turan, Raşit (2014-11-01)
In this work, we report on a spectroscopic ellipsometry study of thin films of silicon nanocrystals embedded in a SiOx matrix that is performed to better understand how substoichiometric SiOx species affect the optical properties of these systems. The silicon nanocrystals are fabricated in a SiOx matrix by thermal annealing of magnetron-sputtered thin films in a wide range of x values (0< x< 2) in order to produce every possible substoichiometric SiOx species in various fractions. A generic optical model to...
Computational simulation and realization of three-dimensional metamaterials with various exotic properties
İbili, Hande; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
In this study, computational analysis and realization of three-dimensional metamaterial structures that induce negative and zero permittivity and/or permeability values in their host environment, as well as plasmonic nanoparticles that are used to design metamaterials at optical frequencies are presented. All these electromagnetic problems are challenging since effective material properties become negative/zero, while numerical solvers are commonly developed for ordinary positive parameters. In real life, t...
