The effect of a cationic dispersant, polyethyleneimine (PEI) on electrodeposition of nickel/titanium carbide (Ni/TiC) nanocomposites is characterized. Enhancing the dispersion of TiC nanoparticles in the electrolyte and increasing TiC amount and uniformity in the deposit are crucial to get superior mechanical and tribological nanocomposite properties. Therefore, a key challenge in reaching enhanced composites is the optimization of the dispersant concentration that improves the nanoparticle dispersion in the electrolyte and achieves high and uniform TiC incorporation into the deposit without suppressing electrodeposition. It is determined that PEI at a concentration of 125 ppm increases the stability of TiC nanoparticles in the electrolyte and TiC vol% in the deposit significantly without any substantial inhibition on the electrodeposition kinetics. Ni/TiC electrodeposition is also characterized as a function of key parameters such as TiC electrolyte concentration, current density, and rotation speed in the presence of PEI. Higher and more uniform TiC nanoparticle incorporation is attained for the electrolyte containing PEI than the electrolyte with no dispersant for all cases. Uniform nanocomposites with improved hardness is obtained as a result of Ni/TiC electrodeposition in the presence of the cationic dispersant. (C) 2018 The Electrochemical Society.

Sequential Deposition of Electrochromic MoO3 Thin Films with High Coloration Efficiency and Stability Turel, Onur; Hacioglu, Serife O.; Coskun, Sahin; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (The Electrochemical Society, 2017-01-01) Effect of thin film deposition route on the morphology and performance of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) based electrochromic devices was investigated. For the deposition of thin films, a sequential deposition method, which includes ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) and thermal evaporation methods was used. Films deposited solely using either USP or thermal evaporation method were used as control samples. Following deposition, MoO3 thin films were then characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spec...
Silver Nanoparticles Added Polymer Film Prepared by Electrochemical Route for Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Applications Khadim, Raisan; Uzun, Ceren; Cihaner, Atilla; Kaya, Murat (The Electrochemical Society, 2019-03-02) A simplemethod for the fabrication of stable and highly active surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate by exploiting the optical properties of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and organizational characteristics of the polymer is presented. Homogeneous distribution ofAgNPs is achieved with the usage of poly (4,7-di-2,3-dihydrothieno [3,4-b] [1,4] dioxin-5-yl-2,1,3 benzoselena diazole) (PESeE) film coated on the indium tin oxide glass (ITO) surface. The obtained structure ensured the emergence of a...
Syntheses and Electrochemical Characterization of Low Oxidation Potential Nitrogen Analogs of Pedot as Electrochromic Materials Hacioglu, Serife O.; Yigit, Deniz; Ermis, Emel; Soylemez, Saniye; GÜLLÜ, Mustafa; Toppare, Levent Kamil (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-01-01) In this study, the electropolymerization of ethyl andmethyl substituted asymmetrical nitrogen analogs of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (OEt and OMe) were synthesized, characterized and their electrochemical properties were investigated. Both polymers (POEt and POMe) were synthesized electrochemically and characterized using spectroelectrochemical technique to determine optical changes of the resulting polymer films. Electrochemical studies demonstrated that these polymers exhibited a significantly low oxidatio...
Metamaterial Absorber Based Multifunctional Sensors Sabah, Cumali (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-01-01) In this paper, several important applications of a metamaterial absorber (MA) based sensors such as temperature, pressure, moisture, and density are presented. Since the sensing ability mostly considers the resonance frequency, the frequency range where the resonance shifts occur linearly or non-linearly depending on the temperature, pressure, moisture, and density changes is selected carefully. The model is composed of X shaped resonators (XSR), dielectric substrate, the sensing layer, dielectric substrate...
