Earth-abundant metal oxides have become center of attention in the application of electrochemical energy conversion and storage. In this work, CrFeO3 was synthesized as a new catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The structural and chemical properties of CrFeO3 were characterized by TEM, SEM, EDX, XRD, XPS, and BET analyses. The microscopy images reveal that CrFeO3 have wire-like morphology, which was formed by assembly of ca. 14nm nanocrystallites. Then, potential utility of the synthesized nanowires (NWs) as catalysts in OER has been investigated. The CrFeO3 NW-modified fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) electrodes exhibited promising OER performance with an onset potential of 1.63V vs RHE, overpotential of 737mV at 10mAcm(-2) current density, and Tafel slope of 57mVdec(-1). Additionally, CrFeO3 NWs are demonstrated to be very stable electrocatalyst during OER. The CrFeO3 NWs present an overall electrocatalytic performance that is comparable to the one of RuO2, and promise a great potential as an effective and affordable OER catalyst.

Electron-phonon short-range interactions mobility and p- to n-type conversion in TlGaS2 crystals Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2006-02-01) The conductivity type conversion from p- to n-type at a critical temperature of 315 K in TlGaS2 crystals is observed through the Hall effect measurements in the temperature range of 200-350 K. The analysis of the temperature-dependent electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient and carrier concentration data reveals the extrinsic type of conduction with donor impurity levels that behave as acceptor levels when are empty. The data analysis allowed the calculation of hole and electron effective masses of 0.36m(0...
Thermoelectric polymer films with a significantly high Seebeck coefficient and thermoelectric power factor obtained through surface energy filtering Guan, Xin; Yıldırım, Erol; Fan, Zeng; Lu, Wanheng; Li, Bichen; Zeng, Kaiyang; Yang, Shuo-Wang; Ouyang, Jianyong (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020-07-01) Thermoelectric (TE) polymers have unique advantages in converting heat into electricity. But their Seebeck coefficient is lower than that of inorganic TE materials by about one order of magnitude. Here, surface energy filtering is proposed to significantly enhance the Seebeck coefficient of TE polymers. The as-prepared poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS, the most popular TE polymer) films from aqueous solution have a low Seebeck coefficient of 15-18 mu V K(-1)and a power fact...
Active carbon/graphene hydrogel nanocomposites as a symmetric device for supercapacitors ATEŞ, MURAT; Cinar, Damla; Caliskan, Sinan; GEÇGEL, ÜNAL; ÜNER, OSMAN; BAYRAK, YÜKSEL; Candan, Idris (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01) Activated carbons (ACs) are successfully synthesized from Elaeagnus grain by a simple chemical synthesis methodology and demonstrated as novel, suitable supercapacitor electrode materials for graphene hydrogel (GH)/AC nanocomposites. GH/AC nanocomposites are synthesized via hydrothermal process at temperature of 180 degrees C. The low-temperature thermal exfoliation approach is convenient for mass production of graphene hydrogel (GH) at low cost and it can be used as electrode material for energy storage ap...
Ceria supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles: Highly efficient catalysts in oxygen evolution reaction Demir Arabacı, Elif; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Özkar, Saim (2019-01-15) Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles were successfully prepared on the surface of ceria (Ru-0/CeO2) and used as catalysts on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) from water electrolysis at room temperature. Ru-0/CeO2 on GCE exhibits high catalytic activity for OER in alkaline solution. It provides a low onset potential of 1.57 V vs. RHE and low overpotential of 420 mV vs. RHE to reach a current density of 10 mA cm(-2). Ru-0/CeO2 on GCE shows no change in the onset potential value even afte...
Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on polydopamine coated Fe3O4 as magnetically isolable, highly active and reusable catalysts for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane Manna, Joydev; Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2016-01-01) Magnetic ferrite nanopowders were coated with polydopamine which is inert against the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Coating of ferrite powders was achieved by pH-induced self-polymerization of dopamine hydrochloride at room temperature. Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on polydopamine coated ferrite (Pd-0/PDA-Fe3O4) were prepared by impregnation of palladium(II) ions on the surface of PDA-Fe3O4 followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride in aqueous solution at room temperature. Magnetically isol...
