Item Open Access A complementary electrochromic device with highly improved performance based on brick-like hydrated tungsten trioxide film(American Scientific Publishers, 2012) Jiao, Z.; Wang, J.; Ke, L.; Sun, X. W.; Demir, Hilmi VolkanUniform and well adhesive nanostructured hydrated tungsten trioxide (3WO 3•H 2O) films were grown on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate via a facile and template-free crystal-seed-assisted hydrothermal method by addition of ammonium sulfate ((NH 4) 2SO 4) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2). X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that the films are of orthorhombic structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis showed that the film was composed of brick-like nanostructures with a preferred growing direction along (002). The influence of seed layer, (NH 4) 2SO 4 and H 2O 2 on the products were also studied. The film showed good cyclic stability, comparable switching speed and coloration efficiency (30.1 cm 2 C -1). A complementary electrochromic device based on the film and Prussian blue depicted highly improved color contrast, coloration/bleaching response (1.8 and 3.7 s respectively) and coloration efficiency (164.6 cm 2 C -1).Item Open Access Fast and quick degradation properties of doped and capped ZnO nanoparticles under UV-Visible light radiations(Elsevier Ltd, 2016) Mittal, M.; Sharma, M.; Pandey, O. P.Undoped and Manganese (Mn) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) (Zn1- xMnxO, x=0.005, 0.01, 0.015 and 0.02) nanoparticles (NPs) capped with (1.0%) Thioglycerol (TG) has been successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. Optical and morphological studies have been done for photophysical and structural analysis of synthesized materials. The photocatalytic activity of undoped and Mn doped ZnO NPs were investigated by degradation of crystal violet (CV) dye under UV-Visible light radiations. It has been found that Mn (1.0%) doping concentration is optimal for photophysical and photocatalytic properties. When the pH of as synthesized optimum doped ZnO NPs varied from natural pH i.e. from 6.7 to 8.0 and 10.0, the degradation of CV dye increases from 92% to 95% and 98% in 180min respectively. Further on increasing the pH of optimum doped synthesized NPs to 12.0, almost 100% degradation has been achieved in 150min. Optimum doped photocatalyst synthesized at pH-12.0 has also effectively degraded the CV dye solution in acidic and basic medium thus showed its utility in various industries. However, it has been found that 100% of CV dye quickly degraded in 30min when only 1.0% of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was introduced along with optimized NPs synthesized at pH-12. Kinetic studies show that the degradation of CV dye follows pseudo first and second-order kinetic law. Further an industrial anionic polyazo Sirius red F3B (SRF3B) dye has been degraded to 100% with optimized NPs synthesized at pH-12.0 in 15min only.Item Open Access Self immolative dioxetane based chemiluminescent probe for H2O2 detection(Elsevier, 2017) Seven, O.; Sozmen, F.; Simsek Turan, I.Chemiluminescent detection of H2O2 has been achieved by using self immolative dioxetane based probe which enables the signal amplification via disassembly of two chemiluminogenic modules at the same time in response to single analyte. Upon treatment of the probe with H2O2, boronate ester was deprotected subsequently to trigger the decomposition of 1,2-dioxetane ring via CIEEL mechanism which results in light emission as a selective sign of H2O2. � 2016 Elsevier B.V.Item Open Access Spectroscopic characterization of tungstated zirconia prepared by equilibrium adsorption from hydrogen peroxide solutions of tungsten(VI) precursors(2007) Kantcheva, M.; Koz, C.Two series of WO x /ZrO2 samples are prepared by equilibrium adsorption from H2O2 solutions at pH 1.8 containing two different precursor anions, [W2O3(O 2)4(H2O)2]2- and [H 2W12O40]6-. The starting material is amorphous zirconium oxyhydroxide. The maximum W densities obtained are larger than that reported in the literature for systems synthesized by the same method using aqueous non-peroxide solutions. In the case of the metatungstate precursor, this increase is attributed to the generation of additional anchoring sites by interaction between the amorphous support and H2O 2. The high uptake achieved when the peroxo complex is used as a precursor is a result of both the ZrO x (OH)4-2x -H 2O2 interaction and low nuclearity of the adsorbing anion. The materials are characterized by XRD, DR-UV-vis, Micro-Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy. The surface acidities of samples with identical W loading prepared by equilibrium adsorption from the [H2W12O 40]6--H2O2 system and by impregnation with aqueous solution of ammonium metatungstate are investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy of CO adsorbed at 80 K. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007.Item Open Access Ultrasensitive electrospun fluorescent nanofibrous membrane for rapid visual colorimetric detection of H2O2(Springer Verlag, 2016-02) Senthamizhan A.; Balusamy, B.; Aytac Z.; Uyar, TamerWe report herein a flexible fluorescent nanofibrous membrane (FNFM) prepared by decorating the gold nanocluster (AuNC) on electrospun polysulfone nanofibrous membrane for rapid visual colorimetric detection of H2O2. The provision of AuNC coupled to NFM has proven to be advantageous for facile and quick visualization of the obtained results, permitting instant, selective, and on-site detection. We strongly suggest that the fast response time is ascribed to the enhanced probabilities of interaction with AuNC located at the surface of NF. It has been observed that the color change from red to blue is dependent on the concentration, which is exclusively selective for hydrogen peroxide. The detection limit has been found to be 500 nM using confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), visually recognizable with good accuracy and stability. A systematic comparison was performed between the sensing performance of FNFM and AuNC solution. The underlying sensing mechanism is demonstrated using UV spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corresponding disappearance of the characteristic emissions of gold nanoclusters and the emergence of a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band, stressing this unique characteristic of gold nanoparticles. Hence, it is evident that the conversion of nanoparticles from nanoclusters has taken place in the presence of H2O2. Our work here has paved a new path for the detection of bioanalytes, highlighting the merits of rapid readout, sensitivity, and user-friendliness.
