Humankind is currently heavily reliant on fossil fuel for its energy supply. However, fossil fuels are a nonrenewable source. It requires hundreds of millions of years for fossil fuels to develop inside the earth, and with our daily rate of consumption, we will run out of fuel unless we find an alternative source. Solar energy has gained much attention as a solution for the current energy deficit since it converts light energy directly to electrical energy. Dye-sensitized solar cells deliver a cheaper and dependable alternative for numerous photovoltaic devices such as organic, inorganic, and hybrid solar cells. Dye-sensitized-solar-cell technology characteristically depends on photosensitizer (Dye), electrolyte, and the metal oxide semiconductor. This review paper enlightens the working principle, components, and development of DSSCs present development and future prospectus for this novel technology.

Wastewater sludge in bioelectricity generation using microbial fuel cells Ömeroğlu, Seçil; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2019) Today, the majority of world’s energy is provided by fossil fuels which soon will be exploited. This pressure forces countries to investigate renewable energy technologies like microbial fuel cells (MFCs). MFCs can convert chemical energy in organic matter into electricity via microbial activity. The objective of this study was to investigate the operational parameters and interactions within the MFCs to overcome the challenges that limit their full scale applications. This study started with optimization e...
Bioelectricity Generation From Wastewater Sludge Using Microbial Fuel Cells: A Critical Review Ömeroğlu, Seçil; Sanin, Faika Dilek (Wiley, 2016-09-01) Today, the majority of the world's energy is provided by fossil fuels. Natural energy resources soon will be consumed as a result of rising energy needs of the growing population, leading to a global energy crisis. The insecurity in the energy market also affects the global economy negatively and forces the governments to investigate renewable energy alternatives such as bioenergy. Bioenergy technologies can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly and can serve to satisfy many forms of energy de...
Steam reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production using Cu-MCM41 and Ni-MCM41 type mesoporous catalytic materials Özdoğan, Ekin; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) The world’s being alerted to the global warming danger and the depletion of fossil fuel resources, has increased the importance of the clean and renewable hydrogen energy. Bioethanol has high potential to be used as a resource of hydrogen since it is a non-petroleum feedstock and it is able to produce hydrogen rich mixture by steam reforming reactions. Discovery of mesoporous MCM-41 type high surface area silicate-structured materials with narrow pore size distributions (20-100 Å) and high surface areas (up...
Ethanol steam reforming with zirconia based catalysts Arslan, Arzu; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2014) Production of hydrogen, which has been considered as an environmentally clean ideal energy carrier, from abundant energy resources cleanly and renewably is essential to support sustainable energy development. Hydrogen production from bio-ethanol by steam reforming process is a promising approach, since bio-ethanol is the most available bio-fuel in the world and steam reforming of ethanol yields formation of 6 moles of hydrogen per mole of ethanol. Support material used for nickel based catalysts plays a cru...
Seismic performance evaluation of roller compacted concrete gravity dams by pseudo dynamic testing Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) The energy demands throughout the world have reached a level that could create irreversible impacts on the environment unless an overall energy policy to reduce the energy production relying on fossil fuels is implemented. The apparent effects of global warming enforced countries to take precautions and to set limits on the fossil fuel consumption. Thus, the renewable energy sources like hydropower, solar energy, biomass, etc. have, nowadays, been encouraged to generate electricity. Certainly, dams are exce...
