The modification of insulating fabrics with electrically conductive nanomaterials has opened up a novel application field. With the help of Joule heating mechanism, conductive fabrics can be used as mobile heaters. In this work, heatable textiles are fabricated using silver nanowires (Ag NWs). Cotton fabrics are decorated with polyol synthesized Ag NWs via a simple dip-and-dry method. The time-dependent thermal response of the fabrics under different applied voltages is investigated. It is found that the fabrics can be heated to 50 degrees C under an applied power density of as low as 0.05Wcm(-2). Uniform deposition of Ag NWs resulted in the homogeneous generation of heat. In addition, the stability of the fabrics with time and under different bending and washing conditions is examined. Moreover, a simple control circuit is fabricated and integrated in order to demonstrate the high potential of the fabrics for mobile applications. This work provides a roadmap for researchers who would like to work on heatable textiles with metallic NWs.

Direct measurement of charge transport through helical poly(ethyl propiolate) nanorods wired into gaps in single walled carbon nanotubes Wang, Nan; Yano, Koji; Durkan, Colm; Plank, Natalie; Welland, Mark E.; Zhang, Yan; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Mann, Mark; Amaratunga, G. A. J.; Milne, William I. (IOP Publishing, 2009-03-11) We report the direct measurement of electrical transport through rod-like polymer molecules, of poly(ethyl propiolate) (PEP), utilizing single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as electrodes. The electrical properties of the devices were measured (i) before cutting a SWNT, (ii) when a SWNT was cut and (iii) after PEP deposition into the nanoscale gap in a cut SWNT. The gate-dependent electrical properties showed a reduction in current from I-on = 2.4 x 10(-7) A for SWNT devices to I-on = 3.6 x 10(-9) A for PE...
Bright Visible Light Extraction from Amorphous Silicon Nitride Heterojunction Pin Diode ANUTGAN, TAMİLA; ANUTGAN, MUSTAFA; ATILGAN, İSMAİL; Katircioglu, B. (The Electrochemical Society, 2011-01-01) We report the transformation of an ordinary hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride based heterojunction pin diode into a strong visible light emitting electroluminescent device. This forming process (FP) comprises Joule heating induced crystallization during the application of sufficiently high forward bias to the fresh diode. FP starts at an arbitrary point and continues until the accompanying visible light is uniformly emitted from the whole diode. This remarkable phenomenon is presented by real-time phot...
Silicon nanowire-silver indium selenide heterojunction photodiodes KULAKCI, Mustafa; ÇOLAKOĞLU, Tahir; OZDEMİR, Baris; Parlak, Mehmet; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Turan, Raşit (IOP Publishing, 2013-09-20) Structural and optoelectronic properties of silicon (Si) nanowire-silver indium selenide (AgInSe2) thin film heterojunctions were investigated. The metal-assisted etching method was employed to fabricate vertically aligned Si nanowire arrays. Stoichiometric AgInSe2 films were then deposited onto the nanowires using co-sputtering and sequential selenization techniques. It was demonstrated that the three-dimensional interface between the Si nanowire arrays and the AgInSe2 thin film significantly improved the ...
Effect of electroless etching parameters on the growth and reflection properties of silicon nanowires Ozdemir, Baris; Kulakci, Mustafa; Turan, Raşit; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (IOP Publishing, 2011-04-15) Vertically aligned silicon nanowire (Si NW) arrays have been fabricated over large areas using an electroless etching (EE) method, which involves etching of silicon wafers in a silver nitrate and hydrofluoric acid based solution. A detailed parametric study determining the relationship between nanowire morphology and time, temperature, solution concentration and starting wafer characteristics (doping type, resistivity, crystallographic orientation) is presented. The as-fabricated Si NW arrays were analyzed ...
High-performance, bare silver nanowire network transparent heaters Ergun, Orcun; Coskun, Sahin; Yusufoglu, Yusuf; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (IOP Publishing, 2016-11-04) Silver nanowire (Ag NW) networks are one of the most promising candidates for the replacement of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films in many different applications. Recently, Ag-NW-based transparent heaters (THs) showed excellent heating performance. In order to overcome the instability issues of Ag NW networks, researchers have offered different hybrid structures. However, these approaches not only require extra processing, but also decrease the optical performance of Ag NW networks. So, it is important to i...
