This paper describes a new strategy to make a full solid-state, flexible, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) based on novel ionic liquid gel, organic dye, ZnO nanoparticles and carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film stamped onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The CNTs serve both as the charge collector and as scaffolds for the growth of ZnO nanoparticles, where the black dye molecules are anchored. It opens up the possibility of developing a continuous roll to roll processing for THE mass production of DSSCs.

An acetylcholinesterase biosensor based on a conducting polymer using multiwalled carbon nanotubes for amperometric detection of organophosphorous pesticides Kesik, Melis; Kanik, Fulya Ekiz; Turan, Janset; Kolb, Marit; TİMUR, SUNA; Bahadir, Muefit; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2014-12-15) A novel amperometric biosensor based on a conducting polymer using multi walled carbon nanotube modified electrode was developed for detection of organophosphorus pesticides. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was successfully immobilized by covalent linkage on the modified graphite electrode. Carbon nanotubes were functionalized by electrochemical treatment. A conducting polymer; poly(4-( 2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenamine) (poly( SNS-NH2)) was synthesized via electropolymerization to examine its ma...
A Flexible and Low-Cost Tactile Sensor Produced by Screen Printing of Carbon Black/PVA Composite on Cellulose Paper Sekertekin, Yeter; BOZYEL, İBRAHİM; GÖKCEN, DİNÇER (MDPI AG, 2020-05-01) This study presents the design and fabrication of a flexible tactile sensor printed on a cellulose paper substrate using a carbon black (CB) - filled polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer matrix as ink material. In the design, electrodes are obtained by screen printing of CB/PVA composite on dielectric cellulose paper. The screen-printing method is preferred for fabrication because of its simplicity and low manufacturing cost. The tactile sensor is formed by overlapping two ink-printed sheets. Electrical properti...
A sol-gel derived AgCl photochromic coating on glass for SERS chemical sensor application Volkan, Mürvet; Vo-Dinh, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-05-13) A new optically translucent material has been prepared that acts as a substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. This material is a silica matrix, synthesized by the sol-gel method and containing in situ precipitated AgCl particles which serve as precursors for nanoparticles of elemental silver. Reduction of AgCl to silver nanoparticles is achieved by UV irradiation. The SERS-active medium was distributed on glass supports (cover glass slips, 0.5 turn thick), hence producing thin, sturdy, and optica...
A new surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrate based on silver nanoparticles in sol-gel Volkan, Mürvet; Vo-Dinh, T (Wiley, 1999-12-01) We report for the first time the development of a new surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active silver chloride silica-glass substrate prepared by using in situ precipitation of silver chloride particles in sol-gel films as a precursor for nanoparticles of silver. The controlled precipitation of silver chloride was achieved by the reaction of silver nitrate with trichloroacetic acid, which leads to a slow release of chloride ions. Silver chloride particles were reduced to silver nanoparticles by FeSO4...
A bio-sensing platform utilizing a conjugated polymer, carbon nanotubes and PAMAM combination Buber, Ece; Kesik, Melis; Soylemez, Saniye; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2017-08-15) In this study, amperometric biosensing performance of a novel platform utilizing a conducting polymer (CP), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer was constructed. In order to fabricate the proposed biosensor, a graphite electrode was modified with poly[9,9-di-(2-ethylhexyl)-fluorenyl-2,7-diyl] end capped with N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)-4-aniline (PFLA), MWCNTs and PAMAM, respectively. Then, GOx was immobilized onto the modified surface with the help of glutaraldehyde (GA...
