The structural, optical and electronic properties of Fe(II) Schiff base complex with ligand were characterized using the x-ray diffraction (XRD), optical absorption and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) measurements, respectively. The structure of Fe(II) Schiff base complex with ligand was determined as a monoclinic crystal system. Two absorption bands were observed in the UV-visible region. They are assigned to intraligand and charge transfer transitions, respectively. The FT-IR spectra of Fe(II) Schiff base complex with ligand are similar to the ligand spectra. Despite the similarity, a shift toward higher frequencies was observed in the vibration modes of azomethine groups. Furthermore, Fe(II) Schiff base complex was used as a photosensitizer on TiO2 film in a DSSC device. Thus, the effect of Fe(II) Schiff base complex on the efficiency of DSSC device was investigated and photovoltaic parameters such as power conversion efficiency (eta), open circuit voltage (V-OC) and short circuit current density (J(SC)) were determined. The obtained J(SC) and V-OC value for samples is 3.75mA/cm(2) and 600 mV, respectively. The. % value was calculated as 0.80. Our result leads to obtain improved conversion efficiency of Fe(II) Schiff base complex with ligand based DSSC device.Öğe Al2O3 SUPPORTED Co-Cu-B (Co-Cu-B/Al2O3) CATALYST FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION BY HYDROLYSIS OF AQUEOUS SODIUM BOROHYDRIDE (NaBH4) SOLUTIONS(Inst Materials Physics, 2019) Baytar, O.; Izgi, M.

Therefore, energy production is very important for living things, human and industrial activities. Hydrogen is a clean energy that has a great potential to be an alternative fuel. Hydrogen is an environmentally friendly fuel that possesses a high energy yield, provides clean energy generation without pollution when burned in air, and produces no greenhouse gases when combusted. It is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, and non-poisonous gas. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy system, which is produced from available sources and is used in every application where fossil fuels are being used in transportation, residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, and for electricity generation. In nature, some microorganisms with biological processes can produce hydrogen gas. In this review, biohydrogen production from industrial waste substrate, microbial producers, bioprocessing strategies, and the recent developments are discussed with their relative advantages.Öğe DETERMINATION OPTIMUM Ni CONCENTRATION IN Zn2SnO4/Ni-DOPED Sb2S3 THIN FILMS WITH DIFFERENT Ni CONCENTRATIONS USING INCIDENT PHOTONS TO CURRENT EFFICIENCY (IPCE) AND CURRENT DENSITY (J) - VOLTAGE (V) MEASUREMENTS(Natl Inst R&D Materials Physics, 2018) Nar, S.; Sahin, O.; Horoz, S.In this present study, Ni-doped Sb2S3 thin films with different Ni concentrations were synthesized on Zn(2)Sna(4) coated with FTO conductive glasses by CBD method at room temperature using Ni as the dopant material.

Ce doped CdS nanoparticles (average particle size: 3.7 nm) were found to have cubic structure as a result of XRD measurements. It has also been clearly observed that Ce dopant ions do not alter the structure of the host semiconductor CdS. Using the spectrum obtained as a result of UV-Vis measurement, the energy band gap of Ce doped CdS nanoparticles was determined as 2.73 eV. This value was observed to be higher than the energy band gap of bulk CdS (2.42 eV). Thus, it can be said that this change in the energy band gap is due to the quantum confinement effect. The maximum IPCE value was 27% for Ce doped CdS nanoparticles while the IPCE values was 4% for pure CdS nanoparticles, respectively. The IPCE of the solar cells improves with the Ce dopant ion. Moreover, the spectral response range of Ce doped CdS nanoparticles widens with the Ce dopant ion. This is attributed to the long lifetimes of the Ce3+ excited states that facilities the transfer of the charge carries to the photoelectrode.Öğe EFFECT OF Mo DOPING ON THE PHOTOVOLTAIC PROPERTIES OF Mo DOPED Cd1-xZnxS (x= 3 %) QUANTUM DOTS SYNTHESIZED BY SILAR(Virtual Inst Physics, 2018) Ekinci, A.; Sahin, O.; Horoz, S.Cd1-xZnxS (x=3 %) and Mo-doped Cd1-xZnxS (x=3 %) quantum dots (QDs) with different Mo concentrations were synthesized at room temperature using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method.

S.; Baytar, O.; Sahin, O.; Horoz, S.In this present study, the chemical reduction technique was used to synthesize Al2O3 supported Co-Cr-B catalyst (Co-Cr-B/Al2O3). The effects of the concentration of NaBH4, NaOH, amount of catalyst, ratio of metal/Al2O3 and temperature were discussed in detail.
