The present competition of graphene electronics demands an efficient route which produces high quality and large area graphene. Chemical vapour deposition technique, where hydrocarbons dissociate in to active carbon species and form graphene layer on the desired metal catalyst via nucleation is considered as the most suitable method. In this study, single layer graphene with the presence of few layer single crystal graphene grains were grown on Pt foil via chemical vapour deposition. The higher growth temperature changes the surface morphology of the Pt foil so a delicate process of hydrogen bubbling was used to peel off graphene from Pt foil samples with the mechanical support of photoresist and further transferred to Si02/Si substrates for analysis. Optical microscopy of the graphene transferred samples showed the regions of single layer along with different oriented graphene domains. Two type of interlayer stacking sequences. Bernal and twisted, were observed in the graphene grains. The presence of different stacking sequences in the graphene layers influence the electronic and optical properties; in Bernal stacking the band gap can be tunable and in twisted stacking the overall sheet resistance can be reduced. Grain boundaries of Pt provides low energy sites to the carbon species, therefore the nucleation of grains are more at the boundaries. The stacking order and the number of layers in grains were seen more clearly with scanning electron microscopy. Raman spectroscopy showed high quality graphene samples due to very small D peak. 2D Raman peak for single layer graphene showed full width half maximum (FWEIM) value of 30 cm(-1). At points A. B and C, Bernal stacked grain showed FWIIM values of 51.22, 58.45 and 64.72 cm(-1), while twisted stacked grain showed the FWIIM values of 27.26, 28.83 and 20.99 cm(-1), respectively. FWHM values of 2D peak of Bernal stacked grain showed an increase of 20-30 cm(-1) as compare to single layer graphene which showed its dispersive nature and confirmed Bernal sequence. On the other hand, the slightest decrease in FWHM values of 2D peak in twisted grain comparing to single layer confirmed the twisted sequence of grains. Atomic force microscopy analysis showed an increasing trend in grain height profile with an increase in the number of layers. (C) 2015 Chinese Materials Research Society. Published by Elsevier GmbH.

Growth of nano-graphene on SrTiO3 (110) substrates by chemical vapour deposition KARAMAT, SHUMAİLA; Celik, K.; Oral, Ahmet (2017-10-01) Transfer of graphene from metal catalyst to dielectrics is a complicated procedure which affects the quality of graphene. In the present work, direct growth of graphene was established on strontium titanate (SrTiO3) substrates with the means of chemical vapour deposition (CVD). The graphene growth on catalyst free dielectric substrates were carried out for 3, 4 and 7 h at 1000 degrees C. Raman spectrum showed D, G and 2D peaks of graphene for the samples. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to get a...
Characterization of Multilayered Conductive Films Produced by Multiple Transfer Printing Graphene onto Ultra-Thin PVC Foil Inkaya, Uğur; Çelik, Kübra; Oral, Ahmet (null; 2017-11-30) Having high charge carrier mobility and superior elastic properties, graphene is a very suitable material for flexible electronics. However, it is usually desired to remove and prevent unintentional doping due to wet processes used for transfer printing of graphene. Although it does not produce a graphene film as smooth as an exfoliated graphene sheet transferred onto SiO2/Si wafer, dry transfer of graphene could be favored for applications that do not require very high charge carrier mobility. In addition,...
Production of amorphous silicon / p-type crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells by sputtering and PECVD methods Eygi, Zeynep Deniz; Turan, Raşit; Erçelebi, Ayşe Çiğdem; Department of Physics (2011) Silicon heterojunction solar cells, a-Si:H/c-Si, are promising technology for future photovoltaic systems. An a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction solar cell combines the advantages of single crystalline silicon photovoltaic with thin-film technologies. This thesis reports a detailed survey of heterojunction silicon solar cells with p-type wafer fabricated by magnetron sputtering and Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) techniques at low processing temperature. In the first part of this study, magnetron ...
Modification of TiO2 and NiO charge selective mesoporous layers using excessive Y and Li additions for carbon based perovskite solar cells Icli, Kerem Cagatay; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2021-09-15) Carbon based perovskite solar cells are rapidly emerging as promising photovoltaic devices, combining low cost production and prolonged device operation, due to the exclusion of polymeric conductors and integration of highly durable metal oxide charge selective layers. Modification of metal oxide mesoporous layers via element additions and enhancement of electrical conductivity is a major strategy for reduced internal resistances inside the cell. This work investigates the effect of excessive Y and Li addit...
Synthesis and characterization of hydrogenphophate-stabilized nizkel(0) nanoclusters as catalyst for the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride Metin, Önder; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2006) The development of new storage materials will facilitate the use of hydrogen as a major energy carrier in near future. In hydrogen economy, chemical hydrides such as NaBH4, KBH4, LiH, NaH have been tested as hydrogen storage materials for supplying hydrogen at ambient temperature. Among these chemical hydrides, sodium borohydride seems to be an ideal hydrogen storage material because it is stable under ordinary conditions and liberates hydrogen gas in a safe and controllable way in aqueous solutions. Howeve...
