A TiO2-based photocatalytic film on glass for self-cleaning purposes was prepared via sol-gel. This film exhibits similar physical and chemical properties, including; (1) surface composition and chemistry, (2) crystal phase and size, (3) UV transmission, and (4) surface roughness/morphology, as commercially available (CVD-based) films. In addition the sol-gel derived, laboratory films deposited on glass exhibits comparable, or in some cases better photocatalytic performance than the commercially available films on glass. Photocatalytic performance of the commercial and laboratory prepared films are determined and are discussed in context of their material properties/ characteristics. Furthermore films are reacted in model solutions (neutral, acidic, and basic) which in turn not only cause changes in the surface composition and roughness of the films, but also cause an increase in the photocatalytic performance.

Structural, optical and magnetic properties of Zn1-xCoxO thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis BACAKSIZ, EMİN; AKSU, SERHAT; Basol, B. M.; Altunbas, M.; Parlak, Mehmet; Yamnaz, E. (Elsevier BV, 2008-09-01) A series of Co-doped ZnO films were fabricated by a spray pyrolysis method. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the films showed that the undoped and Co-doped ZnO films exhibit wurtzite crystal structure. Surface morphology of the films obtained by scanning electron microscopy reveals that pure ZnO film has the hexagonal shaped microrods. The introduction of Co content in the structure did not affect the surface morphology of the films significantly. Magnetic hysteresis loops were observed at room temperature...
Novel benzodithiophene type low band gap polymer solar cell application and device stability study with atomic layer deposition encapsulation technique Turkmen, Tulin Ate; Ozturk, Soner; Çırpan, Ali; YERLİ, Yusuf; Aslan, Emre; Mucur, Selin Piravadili; Parlak, Elif Alturk (IOP Publishing, 2019-10-01) Novel benzodithiophene type copolymer was synthesized through a solvent evaporation technique. Poly(5-(5-(4, 8-bis((2-ethylhexyl)oxy)benzo[1,2-b:4, 5-b']dithiophen-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)-2, 3-bis(3, 4-bis(decyloxy)phenyl)-8-(thiophen-2-yl) quinoxaline) (P-TQTBDT) solar cells were encapsulated with conventional and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) techniques. Characterizations of the samples were carried out via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromotagraphy (GPC) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techn...
Indium tin oxide thin films elaborated by sol-gel routes: The effect of oxalic acid addition on optoelectronic properties Kesim, Mehmet Tumerkan; Durucan, Caner (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-31) Single layer indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited on glass using modified sol-gel formulations. The coating sols were prepared using indium (InCl3 center dot 4H(2)O) and tin salts (SnCl4 center dot 5H(2)O). The stable sols were obtained using ethanol (C2H5OH) and acetylacetone (C5H8O2) as solvents and by the addition of oxalic acid dihydrate (C2H2O4 center dot 2H(2)O) in different amounts. The effect of oxalic acid content in the sol formulation and post-coating calcination treatment (in air at ...
Production and properties of phase separated porous glass Ertus, E. Burak; Vakifahmetoglu, Cekdar; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) A sodium borosilicate glass (SBG) was produced by conventional melt-quenching. As cast glass was heat treated to induce phase separation (SBG-HT), followed by acid leaching with HCl to dissolve one of the separated phases; i.e. alkali rich borate phase, so that a porous glass (PG) was obtained. In order to alter the pore structure, produced PG was subsequently alkali (NaOH) leached or alternatively heat treated. The samples were characterized by techniques including XRD, SEM, N-2 adsorption/desorption. The ...
Fabrication and characterization of porous tricalcium phosphate ceramics Koc, N; Timucin, M; Korkusuz, Feza (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-01) Preforms of beta tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) ceramics were produced by using a modified slip casting technique. The slip was prepared by suspending custom-made TCP powder and PMMA beads in an aqueous medium stabilized with an acrylic deflocculant. Porous TCP ceramics were obtained by sintering the polymer-free preforms for 2 h at 1000 degreesC. The XRD pattern for the TCP ceramic indicated that the product was essentially pure beta-TCP. SEM examination of pore size and pore size distribution revealed th...
