Publication Metadata only Photocatalytic activity of the thermally oxidized Zn-Ni-, Zn-Co-, Ni-Co-, and Zn-Ni-Co-coated alloy films(SPRINGER, 2021) DEMİRCİ, SELİM; Demirci, Selim; Dikici, Tuncay; Yurddaskal, MetinIn this work, Zn-Ni-, Zn-Co-, Ni-Co-, and Zn-Ni-Co-coated alloy films were electrodeposited on titanium substrate. The coated alloy films were annealed in order to form oxides at 800 degrees C in air for 2 h. The crystalline structures, surface morphologies, and chemical composition of the samples were examined using X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and (EDX). Photocatalytic performance of samples was performed by means of the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV irradiation. The SEM results showed that the different morphologies such as needle-shaped nanowires, grains, and pores were formed on the surface. The results showed that the photocatalytic performance of the samples demonstrated differences according to alloy type. The Zn-Ni alloy coating exhibited better photocatalytic activity. Photocurrent measurements illustrated that Zn-Ni sample possessed the highest suppression of photogenerated charge carrier recombination and lowest charge transfer resistance (R-ct) layer. It is expected that this work could provide a promosing way for fabricating Zn-based photocatalyts in environmental redemediation.Publication Metadata only The effects of growth conditions on the surface properties and photocatalytic activities of anatase TiO2 films prepared via electrochemical anodizing and annealing methods(SPRINGER, 2017) DEMİRCİ, SELİM; Dikici, Tuncay; Yurddaskal, Metin; Demirci, Selim; Celik, ErdalIn the present work, nanostructured TiO2 films were prepared by electrochemical anodization process of titanium in fluoride-containing electrolytes using an innovative approach. After anodization, the TiO2 films were annealed at 480 degrees C for 2 h in air in order to acquire anatase phase transformation and increase its crystallinity. The effects of anodization voltage, electrolyte concentration and anodization time on the formation of TiO2 films and the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) were discussed in details. The phase structure and surface morphology of the samples characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The as-prepared nanostructured TiO2 film anodized in 0.5% HF electrolyte at 15 V for 240 min showed excellent photocatalytic degradation of MB and is promising for environmental purification.Publication Metadata only Synthesis and characterization of Ag doped TiO2 heterojunction films and their photocatalytic performances(ELSEVIER, 2016) DEMİRCİ, SELİM; Demirci, Selim; Dikici, Tuncay; Yurddaskal, Metin; Gultekin, Serdar; Toparli, Mustafa; Celik, ErdalIn this study, undoped and silver (Ag) doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) films were successfully synthesized by sol-gel spin coating technique on the Si substrates. Photocatalytic activities of the TiO2 films with different Ag content were investigated for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV light irradiation. The crystal phase structure, surface morphology, chemical and optical properties of Ag-doped TiO2 films were characterized using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis spectrophotometer, and FTIR spectrophotometer. The results showed that the Ag-doped TiO2 films calcined at 500 degrees C had the crystalline anatase phases and the surface morphologies with some cracks. Ag substitution into TiO2 matrix enhanced the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 films under UV light irradiation as compared to the undoped TiO2 film. Furthermore, the results indicated that the 0.7% Ag doped TiO2 film exhibited a superior photocatalytic activity than that of undoped and other Ag-doped TiO2 films. This study demonstrated the potential of an application of Ag doped films to efficiently treat dissolved organic contaminants in water. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Phase structure, surface morphology, particle size, specific surface area and optical band gap of the synthesized Fe2O3 photocatalysts were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), BET surface analysis, particle size analyzer and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV-vis DRS), respectively. Also, electrochemical properties and photoluminescence spectra of Fe2O3 particles were measured. The results illustrated that high crystalline, hollow and mesoporous Fe2O3 particles were formed. The optical band gap values of the Fe203 photocatalysts changed between 2.104 and 1.93 eV. Photocatalytic efficiency of Fe2O3 photocatalysts were assessed via MB solution. The photocatalytic activity results exhibited that I doping enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency. 1% mole iodine doped (I-2) Fe2O3 photocatalyst had 97.723% photo degradation rate and 8.638 x 10(-2) min(-1) kinetic constant which showed the highest photocatalytic activity within 45 min. Moreover, stability and reusability experiments of Fe2O3 photocatalysts were carried out. The Fe2O3 photocatalysts showed outstanding stability after four sequence tests. As a result, I doped Fe2O3 is a good candidate for photocatalysts. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

TGA-DTA, XRD, SEM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, UV-vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence characterization techniques were carried out for TiO2 powders. Photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2 powders on degradation of methylene blue (MB) solution was examined in terms of different heating rates. Thermodynamic and non-isothermal kinetic study of TiO2 powders were estimated. TiO2 powders showed anatase phase based on XRD results. Surface morphology of TiO2 powders did not change with different heating rates. It can be concluded that heating rate played important role on band gap and photocatalytic activity. The band gap of the TiO2 particles decreased from 3.25 to 2.95 with increasing heating rate. The photocatalytic activity results exhibit that T1 powders have the highest photocatalytic performances. The kinetic constant and photocatalytic degradation rate were 0.00678 min(-1) and 83.48%, respectively. This could be attributed to high crystalline structure and low bulk vacancies or defects. Furthermore, TiO2 powders showed good stability. This study exhibited a new way to enhance the photocatalytic performances of pure TiO2 powders. [GRAPHICS]
