Boron doped titanium dioxide nanotube arrays: production, characterization and photocatalytic properties

Bilgin, Kübra

Photocatalytic degradation and complete mineralization of toxic organic compounds in water, soil, and air in the presence of semiconductor materials have received much attention over the last decades. Electronic structure of semiconductors is characterized by a filled valence band and an empty conduction band. When the semiconductor is irradiated with light of sufficient energy corresponding to or exceeding its band gap, an electron is promoted into the conduction band, leaving a hole in the valence band. The electrons and holes are good reductants and powerful oxidants, respectively, and they ...Daha fazlası

Investigation of Use of Lead Oxide Extracted from Recycled Batteries in Radar Absorbing Stealth Technology

Gürkan Ergün

Radar, uçakların tespiti ve takibi için en yaygın tekniktir. Radar, havacılık trafik yönetiminde vazgeçilmez bir araç olmasına rağmen, uçağın hedefini saldırıp fark edilmeden kaçmasını gerektiren saldırgan askeri operasyonlarda sorun oluşturur. Radar, elektromanyetik dalgaların atmosfere yayılmasını içerir; daha sonra uçaktan yansıyarak bir alıcı antene geri döner. Radar Emici Malzemeler (RAM), uçağın elektromanyetik dalga enerjisini emerek yansıyan sinyalin yoğunluğunu en aza indirmesi prensibiyle çalışır. Gizlilik ve görünmezlik gibi son derece önemli olan gizlilik teknolojisini sağlayan rad ...Daha fazlası

Detection of dyes in water using smartphone technology for environmental sustaınability

Kocakuşak Özdemir, Gizem

The goal of this thesis is to develop the applicability of an ultra-low cost, field-deployable, plastic fiber based smartphone spectrometer system to study dye adsorption from water. A custom cradle using smartphone’s built-in flash and camera was designed for visible absorbance spectroscopy without any need for external electrical components. We firstly investigated the performance of smartphone spectrometer for methylene blue (MB) absorbance in water with a detection limit of 0.5 ppm, and compared it to that of a commercial spectrometer. We elaborated on the contribution of image formats to ...Daha fazlası
