    UV Light Promoted Dihydrolipoic Acid and Its Alanine Derivative Directed Rapid Synthesis of Stable Gold Nanoparticles and Their Catalytic Activity
    (Nature Portfolio, 2024-10-21) Temur, Nimet; Dadi, Seyma; Nisari, Mustafa; Ucuncuoglu, Neslihan; Avan, Ilker; Ocsoy, Ismail
    In general, colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been synthesized in heated or boiling water containing HAuCl4 precursor with sodium citrate as reducing stabilizing reagent. Although temperature plays a driving for synthesis of AuNPs, elevated temperature in thermal reduction method causes aggregation of the AuNPs. The preferential, rapid and strong binding of dihydro-lipoic acid and its derivatives on surface of AuNPs via thiol - Au chemistry promote the production of very stable AuNPs. In this study, we have developed citric acid (CA), dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) and DHLA-Alanine (DHLA-Ala) directed rapid synthesis of ultra-stable AuNPs, DHLA@AuNPs and DHLA-Ala@AuNPs, under the UV (311 nm) irradiation at room temperature (RT: 25 degrees C) in around 10 min (min). CA is used as a potential reducing agent to expedite both reduction of Au3+ ion and AuNP formation, DHLA and DHLA-Ala act as stabilizing agents by replacing CA molecules on surface of AuNPs in order to produce quite stable AuNP. It is worthy to mention that reduction of Au3+ ion, formation and surface stabilization of AuNPs are consequently occurred in one step. We also investigated how experimental parameters including reaction time and temperature, pH of reaction solution, affect formation of the AuNPs. The effects of salt concentration and storage temperature were studied to show stability of the AuNPs. The synthesized DHLA@AuNPs and DHLA-Alanine@AuNPs were characterized via UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Zeta potential (ZT) devices. The reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) was efficiently catalyzed by the AuNPs in the presence of sodium borohydride in aqueous solution.

    Role of Pretty Nanoflowers as Novel Versatile Analytical Tools for Sensing in Biomedical and Bioanalytical Applications
    (Wiley, 2024-02) Dadi, Seyma; Ocsoy, Ismail
    In recent years, an encouraging breakthrough in the synthesis of immobilized enzymes in flower-shaped called "organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (hNFs)" with greatly enhanced catalytic activity and stability were reported. Although, these hNFs were discovered by accident, the enzymes exhibited highly enhanced catalytic activities and stabilities in the hNFs compared with the free and conventionally immobilized enzymes. Herein, we rationally utilized the catalytic activity of the hNFs for analytical applications. In this comprehensive review, we covered the design and use of the hNFs as novel versatile sensors for electrochemical, colorimetric/optical and immunosensors-based detection strategies in analytical perspective. Formation of nanoflowers and their biosensor function in biomedical and bioanalytical applications. image

    Anhydrous Proton Conducting Polyvinyl Alcohol) (PVA)/Poly(2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid) (PAMPS)/1,2,4-Triazole Composite Membrane
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-07) Erkartal, Mustafa; Asian, Ayse; Erkilic, Ufuk; Dadi, Seyma; Yazaydin, Ozgur; Usta, Hakan; Sen, Unal; Aslan, Ayse
    The design and fabrication of anhydrous proton exchange membranes are critically important for high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) operating between 100 and 200 degrees C. Herein, we demonstrate a novel proton conducting membrane consisting of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly (2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) (PAMPS) and 1,2,4-triazole, which was fabricated by physical blending, casting and solvent evaporation techniques. The in-situ chemical cross-linking was performed by glutaraldehyde (GA) to improve the water management of the membranes. The molecular structure of the membranes and intermolecular interactions between the constituents were confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The surface and crosssection morphologies of the membranes were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal stability performance of the membranes was studied with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In order to determine the physico chemical properties of the membranes, water uptake (WU), dimensional change and ion exchange capacity (IEC) tests were carried out. The proton conductivities of composite membranes increase with the temperature and the temperature dependencies exhibit an Arrhenius behavior. Proton conductivity measurements revealed an optimum ratio between PAMPS and 1,2,4-triazole content to achieve higher proton conductivity. In anhydrous state at 150 degrees C, the highest proton conductivity measured was 0.002 S/cm for PVA:PAMPS:1,2,4-triazole (1:1:1) composition. Overall, our investigation showed that 1,2,4-triazole is a promising proton carrier reagent above 100 degrees C when it is embedded into appropriate host polymers.

    Excitonic Interaction Amongst InP/ZnS Salt Pellets
    (Royal Soc Chemistry, 2017) Altintas, Yemliha; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Unlu, Miray; Dadi, Seyma; Genc, Sinan; Mutlugun, Evren; Faruk Yazici, Ahmet
    Salt matrix has recently been introduced as a promising robust platform for embedding colloidal quantum dots to provide them with photo stability for versatile applications. This work demonstrates the excitonic interaction amongst high efficiency colloidal InP/ZnS quantum dots embedded in a KCl salt matrix. By varying the donor acceptor ratio within the solid platform, 65% Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) efficiency was attained. Optimizing the donor : acceptor ratio, we demonstrated the first FRET-enabled Cd-free pellets for white light generation possessing a color rendering index (CRI) of 84.7, correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5347.5 K, and a high luminous efficacy of optical radiation value (LER) of 324.3 lm/W-opt. Our study of excitonic interactions within quantum dot-loaded salt matrices will open new possibilities for future versatile optoelectronic applications.
