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.

Since lithium-ion batteries are standard in electric vehicles and electrical devices and have the potential to be used widely in the future, it is essential to recycle end-of-life batteries. Waste lithium-ion batteries are harmful to the environment and human health and should be recycled also due to their critical metals. Lithium-ion batteries can be classified according to their cathode chemistry. In this thesis, the recycling of lithium-ion batteries with NMC-type (Nickel- Manganese-Cobalt) cathode chemi...
Investigations on the properties and drug releases of biodegradable polymer coatings on metal substrates as drug carriers
Baydemir, Tuncay; Bayramlı, Erdal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009)
The use of various biodegradable polymers for the improvement of different controlled and long-lasting drug release systems is an active research area in recent years. The application of different metal prostheses, especially titanium based ones, to the human body is also very common. A most important disadvantage of these prostheses is the risk of infection at the application areas that necessitates the removing of the prosthesis with a second surgical operation and reapplication of it after recovery. One ...
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...
