A two-chambered cell has been designed and constructed for the measurement of photoresponses of bacteriorhodopsin immobilized in polyacrylamide gel (FAG) membranes. The photoresponse of bacteriorhodopsin was determined by measuring the pH variation in each chamber independently, for long periods of illumination. The aim was to verify the light driven proton transfer of bacteriorhodopsin immobilized in FAG membranes. However, the same pH variation was observed in the two chambers irrespective of whether oriented or nonoriented bacteriorhodopsin immobilized in FAG membranes were employed.

Development of self-humidifying nano-composite membrane for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell Çaçan, Umut Baki; Özkan, Necati; Devrim, Yılser; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2015) Low humidity self-humidifying nano-composite membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) were developed for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) working at elevated temperatures. The nano-composite membranes were prepared by adding nano-sized silica particles (SiO2) or inorganic fillers with a size of approximately 20 nm to a polymeric material which is commercially named as Nafion (Perfluoro Sulfonic Acid/PFSA). The particle content of the nano-composite membranes were between 2.5 – 10 wt. %. In this man...
Modelling of long-term photoresponse of bacteriorhodopsin immobilized on cellulose acetate membranes Sediroglu, V; Aydemir, A; Gündüz, Ufuk; Yucel, M; Turker, L; Eroglu, I (1996-05-01) Purple membrane fragments with its integrated protein bacteriorhodopsin were immobilized on lipid impregnated and lipid free cellulose acetate membranes. Two mathematical models were suggested to simulate the photoresponse curves of these membranes which were obtained by measuring the pH variation independently in each chamber of a specifically designed photoactivity cell for long periods of illumination. The first order model suggested was mainly based on the existence of light phase deprotonation and dark...
Photoelectrochemical H-2 production by using bacteriorhodopsin immobilized in PAG Yucel, M; El-Bashiti, T; Eroğlu, İnci; Sediroglu, V; Turker, L; Gündüz, Ufuk (2000-06-15) Bacteriorhodopsin (BR), a protein found in the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium is used as a biocatalyst in photoelectrochemical hydrogen production in a NaCl solution. In present study the biocatalytic effect of BR of a new strain MILTU and strain S-9 were investigated in immobilized membranes The photoelectrochemical hydrogen production experiments were performed in a batch type glass reactor with free H. halobium packed cells or H halobium cells immobilized in polyacrylamide gel (PAG). It was fo...
GAS PERMEATION CHARACTERISTICS OF POLYMER-ZEOLITE MIXED MATRIX MEMBRANES SUER, MG; BAC, N; Yılmaz, Levent (1994-05-20) Mixed matrix membranes of polyethersulfone (PES), a glassy polymer, and hydrophilic zeolites 13X and 4A were prepared by using different membrane preparation procedures. Using selected procedure (c), the permeation rates of N2, O2, Ar, CO2 and H-2 were measured with a variety of membranes prepared at different zeolite loadings. Significant differences in measured permeability and calculated selectivity values demonstrated the importance of the type and percentage of zeolite. For both zeolitic additives, per...
Photovoltaic properties of benzotriazole containing alternating donor–acceptor copolymers: Effect of alkyl chain length Baran, Derya; Balan, Abidin; Stubhan, Tobias; Ameri, Tayebeh; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Brabec, Christoph J. (Elsevier BV, 2012-12) A series of variable alkyl chain length substituted donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers with thiophene ring as the donor and benzotriazole moiety as the acceptor has been investigated in bulk heterojunction solar cells. The optical and electrochemical properties showed that the absorption onsets and the energy levels of the copolymers were not affected by alkyl substitution revealing 1.9 eV of optical band gap. The morphologies of the blend film can be fine-tuned by increasing the chain length attached...
