Two-dimensional (2D) materials are very promising as supercapacitor electrodes due to their high specific surface area. In recent years, significant attention has been focused to environmentally friendly 2D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), since pristine 2D h-BN has many applications in high-temperature instruments and as a substrate for the growth of other 2D materials. However, its electrically insulating character in pristine form limits its utilization in electrochemistry and in electronic applications. Formation of nanocomposites with a conducting complementary materials offers a solution to this problem. In this study, we fabricated 2D h-BN/MoS2 nanocomposite electrodes using solution phase synthesis routes and evaluated their electrochemical performance for supercapacitors. Prior to preparation of the electrodes both h-BN and MoS2 were chemically exfoliated. Electrochemical properties such as specific capacity and capacity retention of the fabricated nanocomposite electrodes were examined through cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in three electrode configuration. Obtained results were compared to that of the control sample fabricated from bare MoS2 nanosheets. In order to determine the effect of electrolyte type on the electrochemical properties of the nanocomposite electrodes, various aqueous solutions, such as sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), hydrochloric acid (H2SO4) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) were investigated. Fabricated supercapacitor electrodes showed encouraging specific capacitance values exceeding 100 F/g. A comprehensive analysis on the electrochemical properties of the fabricated supercapacitor will be presented.

Facile Synthesis of Three-Dimensional Pt-TiO2 Nano-networks: A Highly Active Catalyst for the Hydrolytic Dehydrogenation of Ammonia-Borane Khalily, Mohammad Aref; Eren, Hamit; Akbayrak, Serdar; Susapto, Hepi Hari; BIYIKLI, NECMİ; Özkar, Saim; GÜLER, Mustafa Özgür (2016-09-26) Three-dimensional (3D) porous metal and metal oxide nanostructures have received considerable interest because organization of inorganic materials into 3D nanomaterials holds extraordinary properties such as low density, high porosity, and high surface area. Supramolecular self-assembled peptide nanostructures were exploited as an organic template for catalytic 3D Pt-TiO2 nano-network fabrication. A 3D peptide nanofiber aerogel was conformally coated with TiO2 by atomic layer deposition (ALD) with angstrom-...
Modeling and simulation of viscous electro-active polymers Vogel, Franziska; Göktepe, Serdar; Steinmann, Paul; Kuhl, Ellen (2014-11-01) Electro-active materials are capable of undergoing large deformation when stimulated by an electric field. They can be divided into electronic and ionic electro-active polymers (EAPs) depending on their actuation mechanism based on their composition. We consider electronic EAPs, for which attractive Coulomb forces or local re-orientation of polar groups cause a bulk deformation. Many of these materials exhibit pronounced visco-elastic behavior. Here we show the development and implementation (o)f a constitu...
Karbon Nanotüplerle Süperkapasitörlerin Geliştirilmesi Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Durucan, Caner; Çırpan, Ali(2017) Karbon nanotüplerin (KNT’ lerin) metallere yakın iletkenlikleri, yüksek yüzey alanları ve fonksiyonelleştirilebilir yüzey morfolojisine sahip olmaları süperkapasitör elektrotu olarak kullanılmalarının itici gücüdür. Ancak, KNT esaslı süperkapasitörlerin, metal oksit ve iletken polimerlere göre daha düşük enerji depolama kapasitesine sahip olduğunu belirtmiştir. Öte yandan metal oksitler ve iletken polimerler üzerine yapılan çalışmalar metal oksitlerin düşük iletkenliğini ve iletken polimerlerin mekanik daya...
Computational 3d fracture analysis in axisymmetric media Kutlu Ünal, Özge; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In this study finite element modeling of three dimensional elliptic and semielliptic cracks in a hollow cylinder is considered. Three dimensional crack and cylinder are modeled by using finite element analysis program ANSYS. The main objectives of this study are as follows. First, Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL) codes are developed to facilitate modeling of different types of cracks in cylinders. Second, by using these codes the effect of some parameters of the problem like crack location, cylinder’...
Plastic slip patterns through rate-independent and rate-dependent plasticity Lancioni, Giovanni; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2014-05-09) Plastic deformation induces various types of dislocation microstructures at different length scales, which eventually results in a heterogeneous deformation field in metallic materials. Development of such structures manifests themselves as macroscopic hardening/softening response and plastic anisotropy during strain path changes, which is often observed during forming processes. In this paper we present two different non-local plasticity models based on non-convex potentials to simulate the intrinsic rate-...
