Electrochemical investigations of ion transport in unconventional environments
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)Ion transport is a critical process that occurs routinely in all electrochemical devices. Especially the new generation batteries extensively utilized in portable devices, Li-Ion batteries, operate simply through Li+ ... -
Light-induced pitch transitions in photosensitive cholesteric liquid crystals: Effects of anchoring energy
(American Physical Society, 2014)We experimentally study how the cholesteric pitch P depends on the equilibrium pitch P0 in planar liquid crystal (LC) cells with both strong and semistrong anchoring conditions. The cholesteric phase was induced by dissolution ... -
Molten-Salt-Asisted self-Assembly (MASA)-synthesis of mesoporous metal titanate-titania, metal sulfi de-titania, and metal selenide-titania thin films
(Wiley Online Library, 2013)New synthetic strategies are needed for the assembly of porous metal titanates and metal chalcogenite-titania thin films for various energy applications. Here, a new synthetic approach is introduced in which two solvents ... -
A new, highly conductive, lithium salt/nonionic surfactant, lyotropic liquid-crystalline mesophase and its application
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2012)Salty water! Lithium salts (LiCl, LiNO3, and LiClO4) at very high concentrations in water form lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) mesophases with a nonionic surfactant (10-lauryl ether) and display high ionic conductivities ...
