A high performance five-layered anode supported solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is developed by low-cost tape casting, co-sintering, and screen printing techniques. The cell is composed of NiO/scandium stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) anode support, NiO/ScSZ anode functional layer (AFL), ScSZ electrolyte, lanthanum strontium ferrite (LSF)/ScSZ cathode functional layer, and LSF cathode current collecting layer. The effects of fabrication parameters on the cell performance are investigated and optimized, including co-sintering temperature, thickness of the anode support, and AFL. The effects of GDC ion conducting phase impregnated into both electrodes also are investigated. The microstructure of the cell is observed using a scanning electron microscope, and the cell performances at various operation temperatures are evaluated by a fuel cell test station. The final cell produces 1.34 W.cm(-2) maximum power density at an operation temperature of 700 degrees C. The high performance is attributed to optimized cell structure as well as increase in the oxide ion conductivity and three-phase boundaries of both anode and cathode layers by nano ion conductor infiltration.

Development of high fill factor and high performance uncooled infrared detector pixels Küçük, Şeniz Esra; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) This thesis presents the design, fabrication and characterization of high performance and high fill factor surface micromachined uncooled infrared resistive microbolometer detectors which can be used in large format focal plane arrays (FPAs). The detector pixels, which have a pixel pitch of 25 μm, are designed and fabricated as two-level structures using the enhanced sandwich type resistor while the active material is selected as Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO). First level of the pixel structure is allo...
Development of hole transport transparent conductive electrodes for n-type crystalline silicon solar cells Akdemir, Ozan; Bek, Alpan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2018) Conventional transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) used in crystal silicon (c-Si) solar cells are commonly made of indium tin oxide (ITO) which provides low sheet resistance and high transparency. However, due to indium scarcity, ITO layers increase the fabrication cost; thus, alternative TCEs, such as fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), zinc oxide (ZnO), metal nanowires and Oxide/Metal/Oxide (OMO) multilayers, are being investigated. Conventional solar cells also make use of doped layers, to create the junc...
Development of 500 W PEM fuel cell stack for portable power generators DEVRİM, YILSER; Devrim, Huseyin; Eroğlu, İnci (2015-06-29) Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) portable power generators are gaining importance in emergency applications. In this study, an air-cooled PEMFC stack was designed and fabricated for net 500 W power output. Gas Diffusion Electrodes (GDE's) were manufactured by ultrasonic spray coating technique. Stack design was based on electrochemical data obtained at 0.60 V was 0.5 A/cm(2) from performance tests of a single cell having the same membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) that had an active area of 1...
Development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques for integrated MEMS sensors Yaşınok, Gözde Ceren; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...
Realization of Concentrated Photovoltaic Module Based on Horizontally Staggered Light Guide Turan, Raşit (2018-06-01) Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems have proven to be an important alternative to conventional crystalline silicon and thin film photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion systems. In CPV systems, lenses or mirrors are used to collect sunlight from a large area and to focus it onto a small area of a high efficiency photovoltaic cell. In this paper, we report the realization of a new CPV concentrator that is based on a horizontally staggered light guide system with a medium concentration level. The optical comp...
