Öğe AAO-Assisted Nanoporous Platinum Films for Hydrogen Sensor Application(Mdpi, 2023) Sener, Melike; Sisman, Orhan; Kilinc, NecmettinThe effects of the porosity and the thickness on the ability of hydrogen sensing is demonstrated through a comparison of compact and nanoporous platinum film sensors. The synthesis of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanotubes with an average pore diameter of less than 100 nm served as the template for the fabrication of nanoporous Pt films using an anodization method. This was achieved by applying a voltage of 40 V in 0.4 M of a phosphoric acid solution at 20 degrees C. To compare the film and nanoporous Pt, layers of approximately 3 nm and 20 nm were coated on both glass substrates and AAO templates using a sputtering technique. FESEM images monitored the formation of nanoporosity by observing the Pt layers covering the upper edges of the AAO nanotubes. Despite their low thickness and the poor long-range order, the EDX and XRD measurements confirmed and uncovered the crystalline properties of the Pt films by comparing the bare and the Pt deposited AAO templates. The nanoporous Pt and Pt thin film sensors were tested in the hydrogen concentration range between 10-50,000 ppm H-2 at room temperature, 50 degrees C, 100 degrees C and 150 degrees C. The results reveal that nanoporous Pt performed higher sensitivity than the Pt thin film and the surface scattering phenomenon can express the hydrogen sensing mechanism of the Pt sensors.Öğe Adsorption of Phthalocyanines on Stoichiometric and Reduced Rutile TiO2(110)(Electrochemical Soc Inc, 2020) Kilinc, Necmettin; Ozturk, Zafer Ziya; Berber, SavasWe report ab initio density functional theory calculations for the metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc) and zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) molecules adsorbed on rutile titania TiO2(110) stoichiometric and reduced surface. The hybrid nanostructures that combine titania surfaces with organic molecules help to improve the applications for both the titania surface and the organic molecule. We determine the atomic structures for all possible adsorption sites through total energy calculations and atomic structure optimizations. We find that the surface oxygen atoms play a crucial role in determining the best adsorption position and adsorption energies. Charge transfer occurs from the phthalocyanine to the surface. The electronic structure of the hybrid system indicates the appearance of surface states in the energy gap of the bare surface. We univocally determined that these new states involve N atoms and are originated only from the surface atoms with no bulk contribution.Öğe Electrical and NO2Sensing Properties of a Series of Liquid Crystalline Porphyrins(Electrochemical Soc Inc, 2020) Kilinc, Necmettin; Ahsen, Ali Sems; Ozturk, Zafer ZiyaThe electrical and NO(2)sensing properties of a series of porphyrin derivatives (PPC12, PPC16, ZnPPC12) were studied within wide temperature range from 293 to 423 K under the N(2)gas flow and in the frequency range from 1 kHz to 1 MHz for ac electrical measurements. The dc conductivities and the activation energies were found to be in the range of 10(-13)-10(-12)S cm(-1)at the room temperature and 0.46-1.03 eV respectively. The increased C number in the alkyl chain and addition of metal ion to the porphyrin causes a decrease in the conductivity. The ac conductivity was well represented by the power law form A omega(s). The s parameter depending on temperature was varied 0.79-1.2. The conduction mechanism for all porphyrins could be related to small polaron tunneling (SPT) model. As an application, the NO(2)sensing properties of ZnPPC12 were investigated depending on temperature.Öğe Enhancing high sensitive hydrogen detection of Bi2O3 nanoparticle decorated TiO2 nanotubes(Elsevier Science Sa, 2024) Isik, Esme; Tasyurek, Lutfi Bilal; Tosun, Emir; Kilinc, NecmettinAn electrochemical anodization technique was used to create a hydrogen gas sensor based on TiO2 nanotubes decorated with bismuth oxide (Bi2O3). Bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO3)3 center dot 5H2O) was employed as the source material for Bi2O3. The resulting nanotubes were annealed at 500 degrees C, revealing an amorphous structure with a mixed phase of rutile and anatase. Platinum (Pt) electrodes, with a thickness of 100 nm, were coated onto the Bi2O3@TiO2/Ti and TiO2/Ti structures for sensor testing. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to examine the structural, morphological, and surface properties of the Bi2O3@TiO2 and TiO2 nanotubes. The hydrogen sensing properties of the Pt/Bi2O3@TiO2/Ti and Pt/TiO2/Ti devices were evaluated at room temperature, with hydrogen concentrations ranging from 1000 ppm to 10 %. The I-V characterization of the sensor devices under 1 % H2 exhibited typical Schottky-type behavior. Remarkably, the Pt/Bi2O3@TiO2/Ti structure demonstrated a sensor response 1 x 107 times higher than that of in a dry air environment when the same voltage was applied under up to 1 % H2 conditions. The uniform dispersion of Bi2O3 nanoparticles throughout the structure contributed to the enhanced sensor response in the presence of H2.Öğe Enhancing the performance of TiO2 nanotube-based hydrogen sensors through crystal structure and metal electrode(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Tasyurek, Lutfi Bilal; Isik, Esme; Isik, Ibrahim; Kilinc, NecmettinIn this research, the effect of metal electrodes and crystalline phase on gas detection of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotube-based hydrogen (H2) sensors was investigated. TiO2 nanotubes were produced using glycerol-based electrolyte and annealed at 300 degrees C and 700 degrees C to change the anatase and rutile crystalline phases, respectively. TiO2 nanotubes were coated by platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), gold (Au) and silver (Ag) electrodes to fabricate metal/TiO2 nanotubes Ti H2 sensor devices and then the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were investigated at room temperature. The structural properties of TiO2 nanotubes were characterized by SEM, FE-SEM, XRD, and Raman techniques. The H2 detection properties of the sensors were examined at the 1000 ppm - 5% H2 concentration range. The crystal structure and metal electrodes are the main factors that affect the H2 sensing properties of TiO2 nanotube-based sensors. The effect of crystal forms on sensitivity was not the same as for metal electrodes. The underlying sensing mechanisms for different types of metal electrodes and crystal structures are discussed and the relevance of their sensing performance to nanotubes and electronic properties is investigated. In addition, discussion of each metal electrode and crystal structure will make important contributions to the development of H2 sensors. The Pd-coated device annealed at 700 degrees C showed the best detection performance.(c) 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The sensor preparation involves the electrochemical deposition of P3MT, PPy, and P3MT-co-PPy on Au-coated QCM transducers by electrochemical deposition techniques with a three-electrode cell. The structural properties of the copolymer films are characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and their oxidation/reduction behavior is investigated through cyclic voltammetry. The copolymer-based QCM sensors exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity to dimethyl methyl phosphonate and benzonitrile, even at low concentrations (<1 ppm) at room temperature. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherms are studied to understand the VOCs sensing mechanism machine learning classification algorithms including quadratic discriminant (QD), neural nets, K-nearest neighbors, linear discriminant, and support vector machines are applied to classify the sensor responses for the 12 different analytes. With the help of machine learning algorithms, tested analytes are successfully classified into their groups. The highest accuracy of 97.34% is achieved using the QD method. The developed sensor, combined with machine learning algorithms, shows promising potential for accurate and reliable detection and classification of VOCs.Öğe Hybrid liquid crystalline zinc phthalocyanine@Cu2O nanowires for NO2 sensor application(Elsevier Science Sa, 2021) Sisman, Orhan; Kilinc, Necmettin; Akkus, Unal Ozden; Sama, Jordi; Romano-Rodriguez, Albert; Atilla, Devrim; Gurek, Ayse GulA novel organic-inorganic hybrid conductometric NO2 sensor has been introduced by depositing liquid crystalline zinc oktakisalkylthiophthalocyanine [(C6S)(8)PcZn] on the surface of Cu2O nanowires. Cu2O nano wires were synthesized by electrochemical anodization of Cu films on glass substrates. Surface structures of bare Cu2O and (C6S)(8)PcZn@Cu2O nanowires hybrid structures were monitored by scanning electron microscope (SEM). UV-vis spectrophotometer measurements revealed the heterostructure formation by comparing the absorption profiles of bare Cu2O nanowires, (C6S)(8)PcZn thin film, and (C6S)(8)PcZn@Cu2O hybrid nanowires. The interdigitated transducers (IDT) were used for conductometric gas measurements. The sensing properties of all samples were investigated towards 500 ppb, 1 ppm, 2 ppm, and 5 ppm NO2 under dry airflow in 30 degrees C, 50 degrees C, 100 degrees C, and 150 degrees C. The measurements at 150 degrees C were repeated for (C6S)(8)PcZn film and hybrid sample using the same concentrations of NO2 gas under 38 % relative humidity airflow. In addition, selectivity of hybrid sensor was confirmed with carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H-2) and ethanol (C2H5OH) measurements. Our density functional theory calculations indicate that S atoms play a crucial role in improving the sensor response. The sensing properties and sensing mechanisms of samples were compared and discussed.Öğe Hydrogen-Sensing Properties of Ultrathin Pt-Co Alloy Films(Mdpi, 2022) Erkovan, Mustafa; Deger, Caner; Cardoso, Susana; Kilinc, NecmettinThe present work aims to investigate the feasibility of utilizing Pt and PtCo alloy ultrathin films as hydrogen gas sensors in order to reduce the cost of the hydrogen gas sensors by using low-cost metallic materials. In this study, ultrathin Pt and PtCo alloy thin films are evaluated for hydrogen sensors. The stoichiometry and structural characterization of the thin films are observed from XPS, SEM, and EDX measurements. The 2-nm-thick Pt and PtCo films deposited by sputtering onto Si/SiO2 covers homogeneously the surface in an fcc crystalline plane (111). The hydrogen gas-sensing properties of the films are assessed from the resistance measurement between 25 degrees C and 150 degrees C temperature range, under atmospheres with hydrogen concentration ranging from 10 ppm to 5%. The hydrogen-sensing mechanism of ultrathin PtxCo1-x alloy films can be elucidated with the surface scattering phenomenon. PtCo thin alloy films show better response time than pure Pt thin films, but the alloy films show lower sensor response than pure Pt film's sensor response. Aside from these experimental investigations, first-principles calculations have also been carried out for bare Pt and Co, and also PtCo alloys. Compared to the theoretical calculations, the sensor response to change decreases with increasing Co content, a result that is compatible with the experimental results. In an attempt to explain the decrease in the sensor response of PtCo alloy films compared to bare Pt film, a variety of different phenomena are discussed, including the shrinking lattice of the structure or dendritic surface structure of PtCo alloy films by the increasing cobalt ratio.Öğe Palladium and platinum thin films for low-concentration resistive hydrogen sensor: a comparative study(Springer, 2021) Kilinc, NecmettinIn this study, palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) thin films are prepared via RF sputtering method with approximately 2 nm thicknesses on quartz substrates. Temperature-dependent resistances of Pd and Pt thin films are investigated at a temperature range from 30 to 130 degrees C. The results show that the resistance is directly proportional to temperature. The sensing properties of Pd and Pt thin films have been investigated depending on temperature and hydrogen concentration. It is found that Pt thin film shows higher sensitivity and lower limit of detection than Pd film, but the advantages of Pd thin film sensor are lower response time and unresponsive to the presence of oxygen compared to Pt thin film. The sensing mechanisms of Pd and Pt thin films are explained with continuous resistive H-2 sensor type and surface scattering phenomenon, respectively. The response and recovery times of the films are decreased with rising H-2 concentration and temperature.Öğe Platinum-Nickel alloy thin films for low concentration hydrogen sensor application(Elsevier Science Sa, 2022) Kilinc, Necmettin; Sanduvac, Senem; Erkovan, MustafaHydrogen (H-2) gas sensing properties of platinum (Pt) -nickel (Ni) alloy thin films deposited on a glass substrate by sputter technique are investigated depending on alloy composition, temperature and H-2 concentration. The structural properties of Pt-Ni alloy thin films are characterized by XRD, SEM and EDS techniques. The amount of Ni atom in the alloy thin films is increased from 0% up to 60% and the H-2 sensing properties of the alloy thin film sensors are examined in the concentration range of 25-1000 ppm H-2. The results revealed that the H-2 sensing mechanism of the same thickness pure Pt and Pt-Ni alloy thin films could be explained with surface scattering phenomenon, and the Pt-79-Ni-21 alloy thin film exhibited the best sensing performance to H-2 at all measured temperature ranges. The limit of detection for Pt and Pt-Ni alloy thin films is calculated as lower than 1 ppm, and the response times of the films are decreased with rising H-2 concentration and temperature.

The imperative for sensitive and selective sensors to harness hydrogen's potential as an alternative energy source drives our work. Applying rare earth materials, we enhance the capabilities of hydrogen gas sensing applications. Our study pioneers PtGd alloy thin films for hydrogen gas sensing, addressing a gap in existing literature. Here, we demonstrate the functional characteristics of 2 nm thick PtxGd100 ' x (x = 25, 50 and 75) alloy films, analyzing their hydrogen gas sensing properties, comprehensively examining the interplay between alloy composition, temperature fluctuation and hydrogen concentration. The effect of composition and structural properties on the sensing response were assessed using EDX and XPS. The films are tested at a temperature range between 25 degrees C and 150 degrees C with hydrogen gas concentrations ranging from 10 ppm to 5%. Hydrogen gas sensing mechanisms in PtGd alloy ultrathin films are explained by surface scattering. The unique combination of Pt and Gd offers promising characteristics for gas sensing applications, including high reactivity with hydrogen gas and tunable sensitivity based on the alloy composition.Öğe Synthesis and analysis of TiO2 nanotubes by electrochemical anodization and machine learning method for hydrogen sensors(Elsevier, 2022) Isik, Esme; Tasyurek, Lutfi Bilal; Isik, Ibrahim; Kilinc, NecmettinThe conductometric hydrogen gas sensors were used to explore TiO2 nanotubes in this study. TiO2 nanotubes are synthesized by anodization of the titanium foils using a neutral 0.5% and 1% (wt) NH4F in glycerol solution depending on anodization time and anodization voltage at the temperature of 20 degrees C. The amorphous, rutile and anatase phases of TiO2 are observed for as-prepared TiO2 nanotubes, annealed at 700 and 300 degrees C, respectively. The diameters of the nanotubes grow as the anodization time and voltage increase, according to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The inner diameter of nanotubes is changed between similar to 70 nm to similar to 225 nm. Hydrogen sensing properties of Ti/TiO2 nanotubes/Pd device has been tested at room temperature under concertation range from 0.5% to 10% depending on the crystalline phase. The highest sensor response is observed for anatase crystalline TiO2 nanotubes. Typical Schottky-type behavior is observed from the I-V measurement. All the fabricated nanotube diameters are also simulated by using Support Vector Machine and Artificial Neural Network models. And also, some of the nanotube diameters which are not obtained experimentally (anodization voltage of 70 V) are estimated using the Support Vector Machine and Artificial Neural Network models. In addition, an analytical model is also proposed using Jacobi numeric analysis method alternative to the simulation model for the nanotube diameter. Finally, the analytical, simulation, and experimental results are compared, and the best result is obtained using the 1 Hidden Layer Artificial Neural Network model.
