Besides precious metal oxides, non-noble metal oxides are found to be promising materials especially, in the alkaline medium for OER. In this work, Co/MO 2 (M = Ti, Zr, and Ce) catalysts were synthesized with- out using any harsh steps such as pyrolization, annealing, calcination, and carbonization. Cobalt nanopar- ticles with ∼2.6 nm particle size were loaded on metal oxides by simple impregnation and reduction method. Considering the low onset and overpotential values, low Tafel slopes, high exchange current densities, high TOF values, as well as high Faradaic efficiency, Co/CeO 2 , Co/ZrO 2 , and Co/TiO 2 nanocat- alysts show the remarkable electrocatalytic performance in 1 M KOH for OER. Moreover, no noticeable change in the performance of Co/MO 2 (M = Ti, Zr, and Ce) catalysts were observed after the stability test at 10 mA.cm −2 . This work will also shed light on other studies, in the preparation of inexpensive, earth abundant, and highly active OER electrocatalysts via changing impregnated metals or metal oxides supports.

Enantioselective michael addition of 1-nitropropane to nitroolefins with 2-aminodmap and quinine based bifunctional organocatalysts Kanberoğlu, Esra; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2015) 1,3-dinitro compounds are key materials in the synthesis of a variety of important fine chemicals. Moreover, they are reduced to 1,3-diamines which are starting materials of biologically active compounds, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. In this study, ((2S,3S)-1,3-dinitropentan-2-yl)benzene was synthesized via the Michael addition of 1-nitropropane to trans-β-nitrostyrene in the presence of chiral bifunctional 2-aminoDMAP and quinine based organocatalysts. In the first part of study, reaction conditions ...
Corrosion Behavior and Cathodic Protection Modeling of a Selected Steel Component in Seawater Aksu, Rauf; Erdoğan, Metehan; Meço, Halim; Karakaya, İshak (null; 2016-11-01) Corrosion is a material deterioration process due to chemical interactions with surrounding environment. Metallic components of amphibious vehicles are exposed to aggressive species such as chlorine in marine environment. These components must be coated or well protected to inhibit corrosion. Peeling and cracked paint on the surfaces of the vehicle hulls may result in undesired chemical interactions on damaged areas. Cathodic protection application with sacrificial anodes is an effective solution to corrosi...
Copper removal from regenerated pickling solutions of steel plants Sütcü, Esra; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020) Pickling is a metal surface treatment technique, made by strong inorganic acids to prepare metals for subsequent processes. The process generates a substantial amount of waste acid because large amount of acid is spent during the process. The impact of the waste acid to the environment is noticeable. The waste solution contains the contaminants of the metal surface and it is also a source of valuable products, metal salts and copper. When the concentration of copper in the pickling solution exceeds the lev...
ELECTROLESS DEPOSITION OF OXIDATION RESISTANT HIGH TEMPERATURE COATINGS IN MOLTEN SALT Ömür, İshak Emre; Karakaya, İshak; Erdoğan, Metehan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2021-9-10) Molybdenum and molybdenum alloy (TZM) can be protected against oxygen in hightemperature environment by developing silicide coating on their surface without damaging their mechanical properties. In this study, molybdenum di-silicide was coated on pure molybdenum and its alloy (TZM) surfaces using a molten salt method. NaCl-KCl-NaF eutectic composition was used as salt mixture, and Na2SiF6 and silicon powder were added to the system as silicon source. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Inductively Coupled Plasma ...
Unprecedented irradiation resistance of nanocrystalline tungsten with equiaxed nanocrystalline grains to dislocation loop accumulation El-Atwani, O.; Esquivel, E.; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Martinez, E.; Baldwin, J. K.; Li, M.; Uberuaga, B. P.; Maloy, S. A. (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-01) Nanocrystalline metals are often postulated as irradiation tolerant materials due to higher grain boundary densities. The efficiency of these materials in mitigating irradiation damage is still under investigation. Here, we present an in-situ transmission electron microscopy with ion irradiation study on equiaxed 35 nm grained tungsten (NCW-35 nm) and compare its radiation tolerance, in terms of dislocation loop damage, to several other grades of tungsten with different grain sizes at two temperatures (RT a...
