Development of solid sodium borohydride hydrogen gas generator for portable pem fuel cell applications
Boran, Aslı; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2018)
Hydrogen is considered as a promising candidate to replace fossil fuels. For implementing a hydrogen based infrastructure, hydrogen storage is the mainobstacle that is needed to be overcome. Being boron based compound, sodium borohydride, NaBH4, is a convenient hydrogen storage material for applications like unmanned air vehicles. There are several issues behind commercialization of NaBH4 hydrolysis systems. This doctorate thesis aims to be solution of NaBH4 hydrolysis system by highlighting three main cont...
Development of AZO TCOs with ALD for HEMT and HJSC solar cell applications
Tugrul, Deniz; Cakmak, Huseyin; Özbay, Ekmel; İmer, Muhsine Bilge (2020-10-04)
Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) films are widely used in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells, LEDs, and Lasers. Utilization of these contacts directly affects the device efficiencies. These films can be produced with solid, liquid and vapor phase deposition techniques. Generally, metal oxides such as CdO, In2O3, SnO2, Ga2O3 and ZnO can be used in these structures as intrinsic or extrinsic semiconductors. Purpose of this study is to reproduce widely studied Aluminium doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) using a...
Development of AZO TCOs with ALD for HEMT and HJSC Solar Cell Applications
Tugrul, Deniz; Cakmak, Huseyin; Özbay, Ekmel; İmer, Muhsine Bilge (2021-12-01)
Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) films are widely used in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells, LEDs, and Lasers. Utilization of these contacts directly affects the device efficiencies. Purpose of this study is to produce and optimize properties of Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) using a vapor phase technique, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) for (n+) a-Si:H surface of silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells (HJSCs) and High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) applications. This study is focused on the eff...
Development of magnesium based negative electrode materials for nickel metal hydride batteries
Eyövge, Cavit; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017)
Negative electrode materials of the nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries generally based on AB5 or similar compounds that make use of rare earth elements. The high cost of these elements makes it necessary to look for other alternatives that are more readily available and of low cost. It is also desirable to aim for materials that would have discharge capacity higher than roughly 350 mAh/g, which is typical of AB5 compounds. Magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys have attracted considerable attention as a...
Development of high strength lightweight high entropy alloys (LWHEAs)
Polat, Gökhan.; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020)
In this thesis, the HEA formation ability of low-density elements was carefully studied in detail. In this respect, lightweight or relatively lightweight elements such as B, Mg, Al, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mn and combinations of these elements with high-density elements such as Cu, Ni were used to produce novel lightweight high entropy alloys (LWHEAs) relative to the density of steel parts (~7.86 g/cm3). This thesis involves the design, production, and characterization of LWHEAs. The design and selection of the prop...
