Batteries are commonly used to power sensors, a fact that carries severe drawbacks such as limited lifetime and regular replacement. Battery powered sensors are particularly impractical in under-water pipelines due to limited access. Therefore, harvesting of ambient energy to power embedded sensors is an attractive option for such systems. A method is proposed, in this paper, to power in-pipe wireless sensor nodes based on energy harvesting techniques, with minimal impact to the pipe performance. Based on the initial analysis presented in the paper, models will be developed next to facilitate the design of an energy harvester system for Turkey-Cyprus water pipeline project currently under construction.

A phase-field model for chemo-mechanical induced fracture in lithium-ion battery electrode particles MIEHE, C.; Dal, Hüsnü; SCHAENZEL, L. -M.; RAINA, A. (2016-06-01) Capacity fade in conventional Li-ion battery systems due to chemo-mechanical degradation during charge-discharge cycles is the bottleneck in high-performance battery design. Stresses generated by diffusion-mechanical coupling in Li-ion intercalation and deintercalation cycles, accompanied by swelling and shrinking at finite strains, cause micro-cracks, which finally disturb the electrical conductivity and isolate the electrode particles. This leads to battery capacity fade. As a first attempt towards a reli...
Development and characterization of tungstates and molybdates for li-ion batteries Kaygusuz, Burçin; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016) In recent years, the need for portable power, lithium ion batteries dominate the markets because of their advantages. Metal tungstates and molybdates (Metals: Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Zn, Mg) are two important families of inorganic materials and have found many applications in various fields, such as catalysis, magnetic applications, humidity sensors, and photoluminescence. However, their use in energy storage applications is almost none. The tungstates and molybdates adapt monoclinic crystal structure and crystalli...
Enhancing capacitive deionization technology as an effective method for water treatment using commercially available graphene DURSUN, Derya; OZKUL, Selin; YÜKSEL, Recep; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (IWA Publishing, 2017-02-01) In recent years, capacitive deionization (CDI) has been reported as one of the emerging technologies developed with the purpose of water desalination. This work is aimed at the integration of supercapacitor electrodes for efficient removal of ions from water, and thus to achieve an energy efficient, and cost-effective water treatment process. Our objective is to transfer the vast knowledge of supercapacitors and advanced materials in area of water treatment to enhance the knowledge of the CDI process. Towar...
Development and characterization of tin based anode materials for Li-Ion batteries Yılmaz, Emre; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) Li-ion batteries are the most popular type of portable secondary batteries. They generate electrons at anode electrode during discharging process by releasing $Li^+$ ions from anode, in which graphite is used as Li reservoir. Recently, $SiO_2$ and Tin (IV) Oxide materials are investigated as anode materials by researchers, due to their very high theoretical capacity. There are two problems, however, limiting their use which are pulverization and irreversible reaction problems. These problems are, also, the ...
Synthesis of Graphene-MoS2 composite based anode from oxides and their electrochemical behavior Sarwar, Saira; Karamat, Shumaila; Saleem Bhatti, Arshad; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Oral, Ahmet; Hassan, Muhammad Umair (2021-10-16) High energy storage capacity and longer life span make rechargeable Li-ion batteries the first choice in portable electronics. Here, a graphene-MoS2 composite material is investigated as a potential electrode material which enhances the electrochemical storage ability of the Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Graphene-MoS2 composite is synthesized from graphene oxide (GO), molybdenum trioxide and thiourea via hydrothermal route. Formation of graphene-MoS2 composite (molar ratio 1:2) is confirmed by X-ray diffraction ...
