Herein, we develop various iridium based catalysts using titania, zirconia and ceria as asupporting material(Ir/MO2; M=Ce, Ti, Zr) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). To investigate their electrocatalytic activities, glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) were modified by drop casting the catalyst ink without using any binder. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) was used to test their electrocatalytic activities in 0.5M H2SO4solution. Among these catalysts, Ir/CeO2was found to exhibit excellent activity and superior stability. According to the polarization curves, onset potential (η0) and overpotential (η@10mA.cm−2) of Ir/CeO2were found as −13 and −23mV, respectively, which are lower than the values obtained for commercial 10% Pt/C catalyst. Moreover, Ir/CeO2provides low Tafel slope (38.7mV.dec-1), high turnover frequency (1.95 @100mV) and high exchange current density (2.69mA.cm−2) values. In addition, Ir/CeO2shows superior stability even after 20 000 cycle in acidic environment (pH=0.3) which makes Ir/CeO2(2.44wt% Ir) as a promising alternative electrocatalyst for HER.

Nickel(0) nanoparticles supported on bare or coated cobalt ferrite as highly active, magnetically isolable and reusable catalyst for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane Manna, Joydev; AKBAYRAK, SERDAR; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-15) Nickel(0) nanoparticles supported on cobalt ferrite (Ni-0/CoFe2O4), polydopamine coated cobalt ferrite (NP0/PDA-CoFe2O4) or silica coated cobalt ferrite (NP0/SiO2-CoFe2O4) are prepared and used as catalysts in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. Ni-0/CoFe2O4 (4.0% wt. Ni) shows the highest catalytic activity with a TOF value of 38.3 min(-1) in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. However, the initial catalytic activit...
Nanozirconia supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles: Highly active and reusable catalyst in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane Tonbul, Yalcin; AKBAYRAK, SERDAR; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2018-03-01) Nanozirconia supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles (Ru-0/ZrO2) were prepared by impregnation of ruthenium(III) cations on the surface of zirconia followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride at room temperature. Ru-0/ZrO2 was isolated from the reaction solution by centrifugation and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, SEM EDS and XPS techniques. All the results reveal that ruthenium(0) nanoparticles were successfully supported on zirconia and the resulting Ru-0/ZrO2 is a highly active and reusable cat...
Polysilicon thin films fabricated by solid phase crystallization using reformed crystallization annealing technique Özmen, Özge Tüzün; Karaman, M.; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-31) In this work, a reformed crystallization annealing technique is presented for the solid phase crystallization (SPC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) on SiNx-coated quartz substrate. This technique includes a two-step annealing process which consists of a low-temperature (475 degrees C) classical furnace annealing for nucleation of Si and a high-temperature (900 degrees C) grain growth process of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) during thermal annealing in classical tube furnace. The aim of this reformed two-ste...
Refractive index, static dielectric constant, energy band gap and oscillator parameters of Ga2SeS single crystals Qasrawi, A. F.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2007-09-01) The optical properties of Bridgman method grown Ga2SeS crystals have been investigated by means of room-temperature transmittance and reflectance spectral analysis. The optical data have revealed direct and indirect allowed transition band gaps of 2.49 and 2.10 eV, respectively. The room-temperature refractive index, which was calculated from the reflectance and transmittance data, allowed the identification of the dispersion and oscillator energies, static dielectric constant and static refractive index as...
Magnetically separable rhodium nanoparticles as catalysts for releasing hydrogen from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Tonbul, Yalcin; Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2019-10-01) Magnetically separable catalysts attract considerable attention in catalysis due to their facile separation from the reaction medium. This propensity is crucial for efficient multiple use of precious noble metal nanoparticles in catalysis. In fact, the isolation of catalysts from the reaction medium by filtration and washing results usually in the loss of huge amount of activity in the subsequent run of catalysis. Although many transition metal nanoparticle catalysts have been reported for the H-2 generatio...
