Enhanced methylene blue removal efficiency of TiO2 embedded porous glass
Ertus, E. Burak; Vakifahmetoglu, Cekdar; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2021-02-01)
A porous glass (PG) embedded with titanium dioxide (TiO2) was produced via impregnation of the PG with Titanium (IV) Isopropoxide solution followed by crystallization. N-2 sorption analyses revealed that the specific surface area (SSA) and total pore volume of the PG reached to 358 m(2)/g and 0.370 cm(3)/g, respectively. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB) for the glasses was measured in the dark, instead the photocatalytic MB removal efficiency was evaluated by the degradation of MB under UV lig...
Enhanced diode performance in cadmium telluride-silicon nanowire heterostructures
AKSOY, FUNDA; Akgul, Guvenc; Gullu, Hasan Huseyin; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Turan, Raşit (2015-09-25)
We report on the structural and optoelectronic characteristics and photodetection properties of cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film/silicon (Si) nanowire heterojunction diodes. A simple and cost-effective metal-assisted etching (MAE) method is applied to fabricate vertically oriented Si nanowires on n-type single crystalline Si wafer. Following the nanowire synthesis, CdTe thin films are directly deposited onto the Si nanowire arrays through RF magnetron sputtering. A comparative study of X-ray diffraction (...
Enhanced antimicrobial activity of volatile thymol molecules encapsulated in hierarchical titanosilicates
Binay, Melda Isler; KART, DİDEM; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2022-10-01)
Realizing higher loading and extended-release time of bulkier molecules for enhanced antibacterial activity can be a challenge, which is highly dependent on the pore characteristics of the network used for their encapsulation. This study highlights that the hierarchical microporous Engelhard titanosilicate ETS-10 crystals support a higher amount of thymol encapsulation to allow long-term thymol release and higher antimicrobial activity. In this study, post-synthesis treatment of ETS-10 was performed with H2...
Enhanced absorption of thin-film photovoltaic cells using an optical cavity
Weinstein, Lee A.; HSU, Wei-Chun; Yerci, Selçuk; Boriskina, Svetlana V.; CHEN, Gang (2015-05-01)
We show via numerical simulations that the absorption and solar energy conversion efficiency of a thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cell can be significantly enhanced by embedding it into an optical cavity. A reflective hemi-ellipsoid with an aperture for sunlight placed over a tilted PV cell reflects unabsorbed photons back to the cell, allowing for multiple opportunities for absorption. Ray tracing simulations predict that with the proposed cavity a textured thin-film silicon cell can exceed the Yablonovitch (L...
Enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance obtained in two step etched silicon nanowires decorated with silver nanoparticles
Mulazimoglu, Emre; Nogay, Gizem; Turan, Raşit; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2013-09-30)
We report on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of silicon nanowires decorated with silver nanoparticles. Hydrogen peroxide in metal-assisted-etching method degenerates the surface of nanowires and creates oxygen-related defect sites. These defect sites enhance the infrared absorption at higher frequencies and emit visible light by band-to-band radiative recombination. Moreover, an almost 50-fold enhanced LSPR was obtained for 24 nm thick silver deposited 5 mu m long silicon nanowires. This enhancem...
