© 2022 Elsevier LtdOver more than three decades, the scientific community has been contentiously interested in structuring varying photocatalytic materials with unique properties for appropriate technology transfer. Most of the existing reported photocatalysts in the literature show pros and cons by considering the type of application and working conditions. Bismuth titanate oxides (BTO) are novel photocatalysts that raised recently towards energy and environmental-related applications. Most recent advances to developing bismuth titanate-based photocatalysts for the oxidation of organic pollutants in the water phase were reviewed in this report. To counter the potential drawbacks of BTO materials, i.e., rapid recombination of photoproduced charges, and further promote the photoactivity, most reported approaches were discussed, including creating direct Z-scheme junctions, conventional heterojunctions, metal/non-metal doping, coupling with carbon materials, surface modification and construction of oxygen vacancies. In the end, the review addresses the future trends for better engineering and application of BTO based photocatalysts towards the photodegradation of organic pollutants in water under controlled lab and large scales conditions.

Development of a matlab based software package for ionosphere modeling
Nohutcu, Metin; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Modeling of the ionosphere has been a highly interesting subject within the scientific community due to its effects on the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The development of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and creation of extensive ground-based GPS networks started a new period in observation of the ionosphere, which resulted in several studies on GPS-based modeling of the ionosphere. However, software studies on the subject that are open to the scientific community have not progressed in a simila...
Fabrication of metallic anisotropic particles
Çınar, Simge; Ulucan, Tolga Han (null; 2018-09-23)
Having the capability to fabricate programmable and advanced materials with designed properties and new functions has been of significant attention for the broad scientific community. One of the recent approaches to developing such capability in nano- and micro-materials is to introduce a spatial distribution of at least two components and benefit from the multifunctionality stemmed from this anisotropy for programmability or synergetic effects. Synthesis of anisotropic metallic particles at nano- or micros...

One-dimensional nanostructures open up new avenues in materials science since materials' properties do change with the dimension and size. Silver is a highly appealing material both in nanosize and bulk form. This is because of its high electrical conductivity. Silver nanowires are widely used in electronic and optoelectronic applications. On the other hand, although copper is almost equally conductive and cheaper than silver, copper nanowires are relatively new to these application areas. In this study, tr...
