Nonoxidative Dehydrogenation Of Propane Using Boron-Incorporated Silica-Supported Pt Sites Synthesized By Atomic Layer Deposition, Gokhan Çeli̇k Feb 2024

Nonoxidative Dehydrogenation Of Propane Using Boron-Incorporated Silica-Supported Pt Sites Synthesized By Atomic Layer Deposition, Gokhan Çeli̇k

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Nonoxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propylene using Pt-based supported catalysts is an active research area in catalysis because catalyst attributes of Pt sites can be controlled by careful design of active sites. One way to achieve this is by the addition of a second metal that may impart a change in the electron density of active sites, which in turn affects catalytic performance. In this study, bimetallic Pt and B sites were deposited on powder SiO2 using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Boron was first deposited on SiO2 via half-cycle ALD using triisoproplyborate as the B source. Following calcination, Pt deposition …


Atomic Layer Deposition Of Zirconium Oxide Thin Film On An Optical Fiber Forcladding Light Strippers, Ali̇ Karatutlu Jan 2020

Atomic Layer Deposition Of Zirconium Oxide Thin Film On An Optical Fiber Forcladding Light Strippers, Ali̇ Karatutlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

Cladding light strippers are essential components in high-power fiber lasers used for removal of unwanted cladding light that can distort the beam quality or even damage the whole fiber laser system. In this study, an Atomic Layer Deposition system was used for the first time to prepare the cladding light stripper devices using a 40 nm thick zirconia layer grown on optical fiber. The thickness of the zirconia coating was confirmed using the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the Ellipsometry techniques. The elemental analysis was also performed using the wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy technique. The Raman spectroscopy and XRD data …


Self-Assembled Nanocrystalline Zno Thin Film Transistor Performance Optimization For High Speed Applications, Burhan Bayraktaroglu, Kevin Leedy Jan 2014

Self-Assembled Nanocrystalline Zno Thin Film Transistor Performance Optimization For High Speed Applications, Burhan Bayraktaroglu, Kevin Leedy

Turkish Journal of Physics

ZnO nanocrystals grown at relatively low temperatures using various vacuum deposition techniques can yield semiconducting thin films of self-assembled nanocolumns 20-50 nm in diameter. Such films are suitable for the fabrication of high speed and transparent thin film transistors (TFTs). Unlike amorphous TFTs, the performance of ZnO transistors depends both on the crystal quality of nanocrystals and the electrical properties of boundary layers between them. We investigated the use of radio frequency sputtering, atomic layer deposition, and pulsed laser deposition techniques to fabricate self-assembled nanocrystalline thin films and determined the influence of deposition conditions on the performance of transistors. Device …


High Performance Membrane Electrode Assembly With Low Platinum Loadings Prepared By Atomic Layer Deposition For Pemfc Application, Ting Shu, Shi-Jun Liao, Chien-Te Hsieh, Ay Su Feb 2013

High Performance Membrane Electrode Assembly With Low Platinum Loadings Prepared By Atomic Layer Deposition For Pemfc Application, Ting Shu, Shi-Jun Liao, Chien-Te Hsieh, Ay Su

Journal of Electrochemistry

A high performance membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with low platinum loadings was successfully prepared with atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The anode of the MEA was prepared by depositing platinum on the carbon paper substrate, which was prepared by coating the slurry of carbon black (XC-72R) and Teflon, followed by drying and calcining at 350 °C. The MEAs consisted of the ALD anode or commercial catalyst anode, pretreated Nafion membrane (Nafion-117) and commercial cathode. Performances of MEAs were measured by single cell testing, and the anodes and MEAs were characterized by CV, SEM, TEM and XRD. The results revealed that …
