The recent collaborative work on the use of electrospun carbon metal nanofibrous fabric to enhance the key performance indicators of a vanadium/manganese redox flow battery, titled “Enhancement in the performance of a vanadium-manganese redox flow battery using electrospun carbon metal-based electrode catalysts” has been published in Materials Research Bulletin! Congratulations to all contributing authors, especially corresponding author Barun Chakrabarti, for initiating this great research!
Our recent collaboration work with the Rezan Demir-Çakan group on the use of nanofibrous interlayer to adsorb dissolved polyselenides in ether-based electrolytes, titled “Targeting the Dissolution of Polyselenides: An Investigation Involving UV–Vis Spectroscopy and Interlayer Development” has been published in Energy Technology!
Three PURE 2024 Summer projects were successfully completed! Congratulations to our amazing undergraduate students:
Aleyna Esentürk (Boğaziçi University) & Cansu Şeker (Sabancı University) for the project titled “Synthesis of Lignin-based Nanomaterials”
Defne Gümüş (ITU) & Gizil Oğuz (ITU) for the project titled “Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanomaterials for Conductive Ink Formulations”
Fatih Ağdak (METU) & Zeynep Dila Kuyucu (Sabancı University) for the project titles “Conductive Elastic Nanofiber Films as Energy Storage Device Components”
Kaan Yapıcı joined the group as a Master’s Student. He will be working on nanofiber-based self-chargable, flexible batteries.
Deniz Kesici joined the group as a Master’s Student. He will be working on nanofiber-based stretchable batteries.
Dr. Burak Özdemir joined the group as a project supported research fellow. He will be working on the development of lignin-based controlled-release foliar fertilizers within the scope of LignoNANO Project.
Dr. Baidaa Sharani joined the group as a post-doctoral researcher. She will be working on stretchable batteries and their integration into wearable electronics.
The project titled “Development of stretchable lithium-ion batteries” has received TUBITAK 1001 support! The 2.5-years project aims to develop nanofiber-based stretchable component for lithium-ion batteries that can be used in wearable, flexible electronic devices.
LignoNANO Platform, titled “Advanced Nanotechnological Materials and Systems with Added Value for Sustainable Circular Economy”, which aims to develop high value-added advanced nanotechnological materials from ligneous materials, has received TÜBİTAK 1004 support! I am leading a project, titled “Controlled Nutrient Release with Micro/Nanostructures and Nanoformulations” under the LignoNANO platform.
The recent work I have been involved on nanofiber based photothermal air filters has been published in ACS Applied Nano Materials: Photothermal Electrospun Nanofibers Containing Polydopamine-Coated Halloysite Nanotubes as Antibacterial Air Filters
Congratulations to the Hayriye Unal group for this great work!
