In recent years, the element boron has an important place in the studies of alternative energy sources to solve problems arising in the field of energy production. In addition to its superior properties and wide use in many industry areas, it is known that boron is integrated into conjugated organic structures. One of the current focus points of studies on alternative energy sources is polymers with semiconductor conjugated structures and small organic molecules. In this study, boron units were embedded in a conjugated structure that were synthesized starting from pyrazine via post-borylation strategy. It is aimed to investigate the role of intramolecular boron-nitrogen (B-N) coordination bonds on the conformation of the conjugated systems and their electronic structure. The synthesis of boron-containing polymers was carried out by Suzuki-cross coupling reaction followed by the post-borylation method. Borylated polymer (P1B), stablized by the phenyl unit, has a lower LUMO energy compared to the polymer without the boron unit (P1A) and showed a red shift of about 120 nm in emission. Photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQY) values are 76% for P1A at 510 nm and 58% for P1B at 630 nm. Luminance values were recorded as 12000 cd/m2 for P1A and 2000 cd/m2 for P1B. Current efficiencies of P1A and P1B were recorded as 1.3 cd/A at 9.0 V and 0.3 cd/A at 9.0 V, respectively.

Synthesis of bistriphenylamine and benzodithiophene based random conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaic applications Çetin, Aslı; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2018) Nowadays, traditional fossil fuels have become unable to compensate huge energy demand of the world due to the population increasing day by day and bringing about destructive greenhouse effect. Owing to all of these problems, renewable energy sources such as solar energy not only can be candidate for the solution of this expanded energy need but also can protect the earth by reducing the production of greenhouse gas. In this study, electronic, optical features and photovoltaic applications of two novel orga...
Study of water-oil emulsion combustion in large pilot power plants for fine particle matter emission reduction Allouis, Christophe Gerard; L'Insalata, A.; Fortunato, L.; Saponaro, A.; Beretta, F. (2007-04-01) The combustion of heavy fuel oil for power generation is a great source of carbonaceous and inorganic particle emissions, even though the combustion technologies and their efficiency are improving. The information about the size distribution function of the particles originated by trace metals present into the fuels is not adequate. In this paper, we focused our attention the influence of emulsion oil-water on the larger distribution mode of both the carbonaceous and metallic particles. Isokinetic sampling ...
Syntheses of benzodithiophene and thienopyrroledione containing conjugated random polymers as components for organic solar cells Azeri, Özge; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2017) In recent years organic solar cells (OSC) have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for renewable energy technology because of their low cost, light weight and flexibility. In this study, in order to improve the efficiency of a bulk heterojunction solar cell, two conjugated random polymers were designed. For this purpose, benzodithiophene and thienopyrroledione containing two random copolymers were synthesized. The effects of several acceptors such as benzotriazole and benzothiadiazole o...
Experimental investigation on the electrocatalytic behavior of Ag-based oxides, Ag2XO4 (X= Cr, Mo, W), for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media Hamat, Burcu Arslan; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) The oxygen reduction (ORR) is one of the most essential electrochemical reactions for the development of promising energy storage and conservation technologies such as metal-air batteries and fuel cells. The slow kinetics of oxygen reactions; however, limits the use of metal-air batteries and fuel cells in demanding applications. The aim of this study is to investigate the electrochemical activity of Ag-based oxides, Ag2XO4 (where X = Cr, Mo, and W), to be used as a catalyst material in these applications. ...
INVESTIGATION AND MODIFICATION OF HYDROKINETIC SAVONIUS TURBINE FOR LOW WATER SPEEDS Ike-Offiah , Chiedozie Augustine; Orang, Ali Atashbar; Oğuz, Elif; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-11) With the ever-growing global interest in reducing greenhouse gases such as CO2, renewable energy options present a good energy alternative. Not only are they a sustainable option in their operational period, but they also have a low implementation cost especially, when compared to conventional fossil fuel sources. Hydrokinetic turbines have the advantages of energy predictability, relatively low visual impact, a high energy density, high capacity factor, and ease of manufacture, in addition to the low cost ...
