Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29Three-Dimensional Au-Coated Electrosprayed Nanostructured BODIPY Films on Aluminum Foil as Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Platforms and Their Catalytic Applications(Amer Chemical Soc, 2017-05-16) Yilmaz, Mehmet; Erkartal, Mustafa; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Sen, Unal; Usta, Hakan; Demirel, GokhanThe design and development of three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures with high surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performances have attracted considerable attention in the fields of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Nevertheless, electrospraying of organic smalt molecules on low-cost flexible substrates has never been studied to realize large-scale SERS-active platforms. Here, we report the facile, efficient, and low-cost fabrication of-Stable and reproducible Au-coated electrosprayed organic semiconductor films (Au@BDY-4TEBDY) on flexible regular aluminum foil at a large scale (5 cm X 5 cm) for practical SERS and catalytic applications. To this end, a well-designed-acceptor-donor-atceptor-type solution-processable molecular semiconductor, BDY-4T-BDY, developed by our group, is used because of its advantageous structural and electrical properties. The morphology of the electrosprayed organic film changes by solution concentration, and two different 3D morphologies with out-of-plane features are obtained. Highly uniform dendritic nanoribbons with sharp needle-like tips and vertically oriented nanoplates (similar to 50 nm thickness) are achieved when electrospraying solution concentrations of 240 and 253% w/v.(mgimL) are, respectively, used. When these electrosprayed organic films are coated with a nanoscopic thin (30 nm) Au layer, the resulting Au@BDY-4T-BDY platforms demonstrate remarkable SERS enhancement factors up to 1.7 X 10(6) with excellent Raman signal reproducibility (relative standard deviation <= 0.13) for methylene blue over the entire film. Finally, Au@BDY-4T-BDY films showed good catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol with rate constants of 1.3 X 10(-2) and 9.2 X 10(-3) min(-1). Our results suggest that electrospraying of rationally designed organic semiconductor molecules on flexible substrates holds great promise to enable low-cost, solution-processed, SERS-active platforms.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Synthesis of Benzotriazole Functionalized ZIF-8 by Postsynthetic Modification for Enhanced CH4 and CO2 Uptakes(Elsevier, 2022-08) Erkartal, Mustafa; Incekara, Kaan; Sen, UnalIn this work, a series of functionalized ZIF-8 were synthesized via incorporation of benzotriazole ligands into the framework with a post-synthetic method. The crystal structure and porosity were preserved for all functionalized samples. Although a relatively low percentage of ligand exchange (approximately 10-22%) was observed due to steric and kinetic effects, a remarkable improvement was found in CO2 and CH4 uptake capacities due to the incorporation of more polar N sites into the structure and the change in pore size of the frameworks. The resulting ZIF-8-S5 exhibited 45.17(CO2) and 15.08 (CH4) cm(3) g(-1) at 273 K under 1.2 bar, which corresponds to an enhancement of 20 and 35% compared to pristine ZIF-8. Further, all functionalized samples showed the significant improvement of selective CO2 over N-2.Article Citation - WoS: 104Citation - Scopus: 109Proton Conducting Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) (PVA)/Poly (2-Acrylamido Sulfonic Acid) (PAMPS)/Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF) Ternary Composite Membrane(Elsevier, 2016-02) Erkartal, Mustafa; Usta, Hakan; Citir, Murat; Sen, UnalThe design, synthesis and characterization of novel proton exchange membranes (PEMs) are of significant scientific and technological importance for the realization of fuel cells, actuators, and sensors. Here, we demonstrate a novel ternary composite membrane consisting of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly (2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) (PAMPS), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), which is prepared by physical blending and casting methods. To enhance the water management of the membranes, in situ chemical cross-linking is carried out by glutaraldehyde (GA). During the characterization of the new membranes, FT-IR is used for intermolecular and inter-polymer interactions between different components of the membrane, SEM is used to identify morphology, XRD is used to prove the presence of ZIF-8 nanoparticles, and finally TGA is used for thermal stability. The proton conductivity of the membranes is found to increase with temperature and also with the increasing content of PAMPS. The highest proton conductivity under fully hydrated state at 80 degrees C is measured as 0.134 S cm(-1) for PVA: PAMPS: ZIF-8 (55:40:5) composition. In this study, it is clearly shown that ZIF-8 nanoparticles contribute to the proton conductivity by forming hydrogen bonds with the polymer network in the membrane. The water uptake (WU) and ion exchange capacity (IEC) values are 3.28 (gig) and 1.52 meq g(-1), respectively for the same membrane. To the best our knowledge, this study shows one of the first example of a MOFcontaining membrane with truly high proton conductivities, and both values of proton conductivity and electrochemical properties are comparable to those of well-studied membrane, Nation.

Syntheses are initiated by physically blending the components a process that is accompanied first by encapsulation of ZIF-8 crystallites by PVPA and then by fragmentation of the crystallites. The fragmentation process is driven by partial displacement of the methyl-imidazolate ligands of Zn(II) in ZIF-8 by phosphonate groups on PVPA. Differences in rates of diffusion for the components of the reactive mixture yield a Kirkendall-like effect that is expressed as a hollow-particle morphology. The obtained hollow nanostructures feature hybrid shells containing PVPA, ZIF-8, and their cross-reacted products. The hybrid structures display substantial proton conductivities that increase with increasing temperature, even under the anhydrous conditions prevailing at temperatures above the boiling point of water. For example, at T = 413 K the proton conductivity of ZIF-8@PVPA reaches 3.2 (+/- 0.12) x 10(-3) S cm(-1), a value comparatively higher than that for PVPA (or ZIF-8) in isolation. The high value may reflect the availability in the hybrid structures of free (and partially free), amphoteric imidazole species, and their hydrogen-bonding interactions with phosphonate and/or phosphonic acid units. The persistence of ample conductivity at high temperature reflects the elimination of phosphonic acid group dehydration and dimerization-an effect that strikingly degrades the conductivity of pure PVPA under anhydrous conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 46Boronic Acid Moiety as Functional Defect in UiO-66 and Its Effect on Hydrogen Uptake Capacity and Selective Co2 Adsorption: a Comparative Study(Amer Chemical Soc, 2017-12-29) Erkartal, Mustafa; Sen, UnalHerein, we use linker fragmentation approach to introduce boronic acid moieties as functional defects into Zr-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs, UiO-66). Our findings show that the amount of permanently incorporated boronic acid containing ligand is directly dependent on the synthesis method. The accessible boronic acid moieties in the pore surfaces significantly improve the hydrogen uptake values, which are 3.10 and 3.44 wt % at 21 bar, 77 K for dimethylformamide (DMF)/H2O and DMF/HCI synthesis methods, respectively. Also, CO2 selectivity of the resulting MOFs over N-2 and CH4 significantly increases due to the quadrupolar interaction between active surfaces and CO2 molecules. To the best of our knowledge, both hydrogen storage and selectivity of CO2 for UiO-66 are the highest reported values in the literature to date. Furthermore, another striking result that emerged from the high-pressure hydrogen uptake isotherms is the direct correlation between the defects and hysteric adsorption behavior, which may result in the shift from rigidity to flexibility of the framework due to the uncoordinated sites.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 36Anhydrous 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, AyseThe 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.
