In recent years, studies on conjugated polymers have strengthened the researchers' thought that such polymers can play an essential role in developing new generation energy storage devices. Hence conjugated polymer supercapacitor studies have accelerated. In the present work, selenophene-containing conjugated polymers previously synthesized via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki polymerization reaction were used in the preparation of conjugated polymer-based supercapacitor electrodes. The structure and surface morphology of conjugated polymers were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The selenophene-containing two conjugated polymer electrodes (ITO/Polymer) were fabricated. The electrochemical behavior of the conjugated polymer electrodes was evaluated through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The specific capacity of ITO/CP1 electrode at 5 mV/s are 161.2 and 47 (Fg(-1)) for 0.1 mg and 1.2 mg, respectively. The specific capacity of ITO/CP2 at 5 mV/s electrode are 511 and 108.85 (Fg(-1)) for 0.08 mg and 0.70 mg, respectively. The time constants were determined as 10 and 625 ms for ITO/CP1 and CP2/ITO electrodes, respectively.

The current research trends have greatly focused on the development of new low band gap conjugated polymers featuring alternating donor-acceptor unities to achieve remarkable power conversion efficiencies for OPV devices. For this purpose, a series of new quinoxaline and selenophene based BDT bearing conjugated polymers namely P1, P2 and P3 were synthesized using Stille cross coupling reaction. The 2-(2-Octyldodecyl)selenophene ring was attached to 4th and 8th positions of phenyl ring in BDT to obtain donor...

Selenophene-bearing low-band-gap conjugated polymers: tuning optoelectronic properties via fluorene and carbazole as donor moieties
Yasa, Mustafa; GÖKER, SEZA; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01)
In this study, two donor-acceptor (D-A)-type conjugated polymers, namely PQSeCz and PQSeFl, were designed and synthesized. Selenophene was incorporated as the pi-bridge and quinoxaline as an acceptor unit, while carbazole and fluorene were used as the donor units. Polymers were synthesized via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki polymerization reaction. All molecules were characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The weight and number average molecular weights of the two polymers were determined by gel permeat...

Yaşa, Mustafa; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Arslan Udum, Yasemin; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2022-1-27)
There are several studies on organic solar cells based on conjugated polymers in literature, and various new materials are being designed. The Donor-Acceptor approach has been the most common approach for designing and synthesizing conjugated polymers. In this study, thienopyrroledione bearing conjugated polymers were synthesized via Stille and Suzuki polycondensation reactions. In the first part of this thesis, the polymers obtained via Stille polycondensation were employed to fabricate organic solar cells...
Investigation of bismuth doped bioglass/graphene oxide nanocomposites for bone tissue engineering
Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer (2018-03-01)
In this study, bismuth doped 45S5 nanobioactive bioglass (nBG) and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites were developed and characterized in terms of microstructural, mechanical, bioactivity and biological properties. Bismuth (Bi) - doped nBG was synthesized by sol-gel method and sintered at 600 degrees C for 2 h. Nanosized GO was homogeneously mixed with Bi doped bioglass at various ratios to prepare nanocomposites. Addition of Bi increased the density of nBG samples while a considerable decrease in density w...
