Supercapacitors have attracted extensive attention for their high specific power and moderate energy densities. Nanoscale structure and high surface area are the two main requirements for a supercapacitor electrode with high performance. We report on the fabrication and electrochemical characterization of hybrid aerogel nanocomposite supercapacitor electrodes composed of reduced graphene oxide and molybdenum disulfide nanosheets on nickel foams. Graphene oxide was produced using Tour Method. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) aerogel was produced from graphene oxide dispersion via solvothermal technique followed by freeze-drying and thermal reduction. For the fabrication of hybrid electrodes, produced rGO aerogels were simply pressed onto nickel foams, which was followed by drop-casting of exfoliated molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets onto the rGO aerogel. Electrochemical properties such as specific capacity and capacity retention of the fabricated nanocomposite electrodes were examined through cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in two electrode configuration. Results of the measurements were compared to that of control samples fabricated simply by pressing bare rGO aerogel and bare MoS2 nanosheets directly onto nickel foams. In order to determine the effect of electrolyte type on the electrochemical properties of the hybrid nanocomposite electrodes, various environmentally friendly and neutral aqueous solutions, such as lithium sulfate (Li2SO4), sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl) were investigated as the electrolytes. Fabricated hybrid supercapacitor electrodes showed encouraging results with a specific capacitance of 38.69 mF/cm2 and a Coulombic efficiency of 83%. Following 1000 charge/discharge cycles, specific capacitance of the fabricated electrodes degraded to 94% of its initial capacitance value. A comprehensive analysis on the electrochemical properties of the fabricated supercapacitor will be presented

Control of spatial phase empowering spectral splitting and concentration of solar spectrum
Gün, Berk Nezir; Yüce, Emre (2020-11-25)
Harvesting energy from a broad-spectrum light with high efficiency is a long-standing endeavor given the increasingly important energy source yet to be exploited further: sunlight. No material alone can derive energy from a broadband light with high efficiency. That being the case, the methods benefitting from spectral sub-bands together with concentration are in demand to utilize record level efficiency in photovoltaic cells. It is possible to get these sub-bands by portioning a broadband light through...
Hydrothermal dewatering of low-rank coals: Influence on the properties and combustion characteristics of the solid products
Ullah, Habib; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Ali, Muhammad Ubaid; Abbas, Qumber; Zhou, Chuncai; Rashid, Audil (2018-09-01)
The presence of increased moisture content, low energy density and maximum spontaneous combustion tendency has raised serious environmental issues, which are obstacles to large scale utilization of coals. Hydrothermal dewatering (HTD) is a promising method for upgrading low rank coals (LRCs). The influences of HTD, executed at different temperatures on solid product yield, removal rate of elements, organics and inorganics, and combustion characteristics in LRCs were studied. HTD treatment of LRCs was carrie...
Optimization of energy harvesting wireless communication systems
Erkal, Hakan; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In an energy harvesting communication system, energy is derived from outside sources and becomes partially available at different points in time. The constraints induced by this property on energy consumption plays an active role in the design of efficient communication systems. This thesis focuses on the optimal design of transmission and networking schemes for energy harvesting wireless communication systems. In particular, an energy harvesting transmitter broadcasting data to two receivers in an AWGN bro...
Experimental and computational investigation of hydrokinetic turbine
Güneş, Anıl; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8)
The answer to the increasing amount of energy consumption, mostly in carbon-based energy sources can be found in water and through the wind. The investigation of a special drag-based cross-flow hydrokinetic turbine (referred to as a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine for wind energy applications) called Savonius, is the main purpose of this study. Both experimentally and computationally studying this high self-starting ability turbine will open up the way to small-size energy production with very small water and wi...
Electrochemical performance and modeling of lithium-sulfur batteries with varying carbon to sulfur ratios
Michaelis, Charles; Erisen, Nisa; PALA, DAMLA EROĞLU; Koenig, Gary M. (Wiley, 2019-02-01)
Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted much research interest because of their high theoretical energy density and low-cost raw materials. While the electrodes are composed of readily available materials, the processes that occur within the cell are complex, and the electrochemical performance of these batteries is very sensitive to a number of cell processing parameters. Herein, a simple electrochemical model will be used to predict, with quantitative agreement, the electrochemical properties of lithium-s...
