In this study, the effects of the praseodymium doping and calcination temperature for titania based catalysts synthesized using a sol-gel method on the photocatalytic methylene blue degradation reaction were investigated. Doping TiO2 with 1% Pr stabilizes the anatase crystal structure by inhibiting anatase to rutile transformation, increases surface area, and light absorption capability [1]. Besides the Pr doping, effect of calcination temperature on the methylene blue degradation was investigated both with powder and thin-film catalysts. Experimental results showed that catalysts calcined at 600 degrees C had higher photocatalytic activity than the ones calcined at 500 degrees C. Moreover, Pr doping was also observed to enhance the photocatalytic performance of powder samples, and complete conversion of methylene blue was achieved over the praseodymium doped titania powder catalysts. Dimerization of methylene blue molecules also effects the degradation rates and it was observed that dimer to monomer transition is faster on Pr doped catalysts.

Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite: preparation, characterization and catalytic use in hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of hydrazine borane and ammonia borane Çelik, Derya; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2012) This dissertation presents the preparation and characterization of rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite, and investigation of their catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane and ammonia-borane. Rh+3 ions were impregnated on hydroxyapatite by ion-exchange; then rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite were formed in-situ during the hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane at room temperature. The rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite we...
Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanotitania as highly active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Akbayrak, Serdar; Gencturk, Serap; MORKAN, İzzet; Özkar, Saim (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014-01-01) Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on the surface of titanium dioxide (Rh(0)@TiO2) were in situ generated from the reduction of rhodium(III) ions impregnated on nanotitania during the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. They were isolated from the reaction solution by centrifugation and characterized by a combination of advanced analytical techniques. The results show that (i) highly dispersed rhodium(0) nanoparticles with sizes in the range 1.3-3.8 nm were formed on the surface of titanium dioxide, (ii) Rh(0)@Ti...
Synthesis and characterization of tetracarbonylpyrazinetrimethylphosphitetungsten (0) complexes Alper, Fatma; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2004) In this study, the effect of a donor ligand on the stabilization of a carbonyl pyrazine tungsten complex was studied. The pentacarbonylpyrazinetungsten(0) complex could be formed from the photolysis of hexacarbonyltungsten(0) in the presence of pyrazine and could be isolated as crystalline solid. However, the complex was found to be unstable in solution, being converted to a bimetallic complex, (CO)5W(pyz)W(CO)5 and free pyrazine molecule. Two complexes exist in solution at equilibrium. The equilibrium cons...
Hydrogen gadolinium pyrophosphate (HGdP2O7) preparation and X-ray diffraction data Kızılyallı, Meral (Elsevier BV, 1987-1) The preparation of hydrogen gadolinium pyrophosphate and its X-ray diffraction data are reported in the present work. The acid pyrophosphate was prepared from sodium pyrophosphate and an acidic solution of gadolinium chloride. Its X-ray diffraction patterns at different temperatures are given. It was found that sodium cerium and sodium gadolinium pyrophosphates cannot be prepared by this method. Comparison of IR spectra of the products showed that the peaks in the 1200–1400 cm−1 region could be attributed t...
Vulcan-Supported Pt Electrocatalysts for PEMFCs Prepared using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Deposition Bayrakceken, Ayse; Smirnova, Alevtina; Kitkamthorn, Usanee; Aindow, Mark; Tuerker, Lemi; Eroğlu, İnci; ERKEY, CAN (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) In this study, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) deposition was used to prepare vulcan-supported Pt (Pt/Vulcan) electrocatalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and the effects of process variables on the properties of the electrocatalysts were investigated. The two different methods used to reduce the organometallic precursor were thermal reduction in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure and thermal reduction in scCO(2). In the former method, the maximum Pt loading achieved was 9%, and t...
