    Design of dual-conductive polyacrylonitrile-based composite nanofiber: Synergistic effect of copper nanoparticles decorated-boron nitride and polyaniline
    (Wiley, 2024) Orhun, Zumer; Dogan, Deniz; Erdem, Uemit; Yildirim, Gurcan; Pehlivanli, Zuhtu Onur; Metin, Aysegul Uelkue
    Conductive composite nanofibers are promising materials, especially wearable strain sensors, due to their lightweight, breathability, flexibility, and skin affinity. Here, we propose a dual-conductive network by the sequential decoration of amin-modified boron nitride nanosheets (BN), copper nanoparticles (Cu), and polyaniline (PANI) into the elastic thermoplastic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber. The Cu nanoparticles/BN-enwrapped PANI nanocomposite was synthesized using successive environmentally friendly reduction and chemical oxidation polymerization. First, Cu (II) ions were immobilized on modified BN and reduced with L-ascorbic acid (BN@Cu), followed by a chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline using ammonium persulfate as an initiator (BN@Cu/PANI). The XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), and TEM/EDXS (Transmission Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) analysis confirmed the coexistence of the BN@Cu/PANI phase and composition. The DC electrical conductivity of BN@Cu/PANI nanocomposite (0.567 S/cm) was quietly higher than PANI (0.167 S/cm) and BN@Cu (0.077 S/cm). The thermal conductivity of BN@Cu and BN@Cu/PANI was 0.626 and 0.444 W/mK, respectively. The BN@Cu/PANI loaded-PAN composite nanofibers were successfully produced by electrospinning. SEM studies confirmed that the composite nanofibers have uniform fiber structure and suitable BN@Cu/PANI dispersion/distribution within the PAN. BN@Cu/PANI-reinforced PAN nanofibers showed a 2-fold decrease in the specific heat capacity and a 50-fold increase in electrical conductivity of the nanofibers at 10 wt%BN@Cu/PANI loading. This work offers dual-conductive polymer-based composites, which can be used in thermal management applications in microelectronics devices.HighlightsThe dual-conductive nanocomposite, BN@Cu/PANI, was prepared a simple, low-cost method.BN@Cu/PANI, core/shell nanocomposite, was easily produced this way for the first time.BN@Cu nanoparticles increased the polymerization rate of PANI.The thermal and electrical conductivity of BN@Cu/PANI was 0.444 W/mK and 0.567 S/cm.Electrical conductivity of BN@Cu/PANI-PAN increased 50-fold increase at 10 wt%BN@Cu/PANI. The dual conductive nanocomposite (BN@Cu/PANI) was prepared using environmentally friendly reduction and chemical oxidation polymerization methods, respectively (a). The BN@Cu/PANI is used as filler in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers prepared by electrospinning for potential applications such as soft electronics, hydrogen production, photocatalytic, and biosensors due to the lightweight and dual conductivity of composite nanofibers (b).image

    (Springer, 2024) Mercan, Ali; Erdem, Umit; Ulgen, Asaf Tolga; Gulen, Mahir; Turkoz, Mustafa Burak; Turgay, Tahsin; Yildirim, Gurcan
    The role of diffusion annealing temperatures intervals 600-850 degrees C on durable tetragonal phase, surface morphology, and main mechanical performance parameters of Co surface-layered Bi2.1Sr2.0Ca1.1Cu2.0Oy (Bi-2212) samples has extensively been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Electron Dispersive X-ray (EDX) technique and microindentation Vickers hardness (Hv) tests. The experimental findings have shown that every material prepared has presented different composition distributions on the specimen surface as a consequence of the successful production of materials. Besides, the mechanical characteristics and durable tetragonal phase have been noted to enhance significantly with the enhancement of annealing temperature up to 650 degrees C due to the formation of new slip systems, surface residual compressive stress regions, connections between grains, and chemical bonding between the foreign and host atoms. Further, the optimum temperature has led to the reduction in stored internal strain energy and degree of granularity in the Co-diffused Bi-2212 crystal system. In this respect, the sample with the least sensitive to the external forces has exhibited the highest elastic modulus of 0.5445 GPa, shear modulus of 17.8515 GPa, yield strength of 181.5 MPa, and resilience of 369.1 MPa under 0.295 N. Accordingly, the cracks and dislocations have preferred to propagate throughout the transcrystalline regions, and crack growth size was easily controlled. Similarly, the saturation limit region has begun at relatively higher applied test load magnitudes. Conversely, the excess annealing temperature has caused the increase in the agglomeration of cobalt ions throughout the intergranular regions. Correspondingly, the activation of stress-induced phase transformation has been triggered seriously. Bi-2212 ceramic compound exposed to the optimum diffusion annealing temperature exhibits the most uniform surface view and crystalline quality with the densest surface morphology and the largest particle distributions and orientations. Moreover, every material studied has perfectly presented the characteristic indentation size effect behavior. The examination of granularity degree depending on elasticity moduli has verified all the Hv test results and discussions. All in all, this study guides the use of engineering ceramics in more application areas due to the increase in their service life.

    (Springer, 2024) Al Azzawi, Abdullah Nabel Salman; Turkoz, Mustafa Burak; Erdem, Umit; Yildirim, Gurcan
    This study rationalizes the reason for an increase in the electrical conductivity, crystal quality, surface morphology, and superconductive transition temperatures for Bi-2212 superconductors via scientific facts and discussions depending on replacing the optimum Ag/Sr sites in the system for the first time. Every experimental result and related calculations indicate the successful replacement of monovalent Ag+ ions for the divalent Sr2+ ions in the polycrystalline Bi-2212 structure. Moreover, it is observed that the bulk Bi-2212 ceramic prepared with a partial substitution level of x = 0.01 is observed to possess the highest electrical conductivity and superconductive transition temperatures of 84.68 K and 86.26 K for the Tcoffset\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$T_{c}<^>{offset}$$\end{document} and Tconset\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$T_{c}<^>{onset}$$\end{document}, respectively. Besides, in the case of the optimum replacement level, the Bi-2212 ceramic exhibits the most uniform and smoothest surface appearance, highest interactions between the grains, best microcrystal distributions/orientations, and largest average crystalline distribution along the crystal structure. In this regard, this study becomes a leader in broadening the application spectra including the heavy-industrial technologies, innovative, advanced engineering-related sectors, and large-scale application fields for Bi-2212 superconducting ceramics.

    Reveal of relationship between microscopy architecture and mechanical performance of Y/Bi substituted Bi-2212 engineering ceramics
    (Wiley, 2024) Yilmaz, Tolgahan; Kurtul, Gulnur; Ulgen, Asaf Tolga; Erdem, Umit; Mercan, Ali; Turgay, Tahsin; Yildirim, Gurcan
    This study aims to find out how the crystallinity quality, surface morphology, and mechanical performances change with the substitution of yttrium (Y) for bismuth (Bi) impurity within molar ratios of 0.00 <= x <= 0.12 in the Bi2.0-xYxSr2.0Ca1.1Cu2.0Oy (Bi-2212) cuprates to reveal the dependence of micro surface topology on the substitution mechanism and achieve a strong relation between the impurity ions and crystallization mechanism. The materials are prepared by ceramic method. It is found that all the experimental findings improve remarkably with increasing yttrium impurity molar ratio of x = 0.01. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicate that the optimum Y ions strengthen the formation of flaky adjacent stacked layers due to the changes of thermal expansion, vibration amplitude of atoms, heat capacitance, reaction kinetics, activation energy, nucleation temperature, thermodynamic stability, and intermolecular forces. Besides, new engineering novel compound produced by optimum Y ions presents the best crystallinity quality, uniform surface view, greatest coupling interaction between grains, largest particle size distributions/orientations, and densest/smoothest surface morphology. Hardness measurement results totally support the surface morphology view. Moreover, mechanical design properties and durability of the tetragonal phase improve significantly with increasing replacement level of x = 0.01 due to the induction of new surface residual compressive stress areas, slip systems, and chemical bonding between the foreign and host atoms. Besides, the same sample exhibits the maximum strength and minimum sensitivity to loads depending on reduction of stored internal strain energy and degree of granularity. Consequently, cracks tend to propagate predominantly within the transcrystalline regions. Furthermore, each material investigated exhibits the characteristic behavior of the indentation size effect. In summary, the optimum Y-doped Bi-2212 sample paves the way for the expanded use of engineering ceramics across various applications based on the enhanced service life.Research Highlights The presence of the optimum yttrium impurity significantly decreases the Ea value. As the Y/Bi replacement increases up to the molar substitution level of x = 0.01, the mechanical design properties and durability of the tetragonal phase enhance significantly. Mystery of the change in the mechanical performance features of the Y-doped Bi-2212 advanced ceramic compound against the applied test loads is related to the microscopy architecture.image

    Support of polaronic states and charge carrier concentrations of YBa2Cu3O7-y ceramics by oxygen and Mn2O3 impurity
    (Wiley, 2024) Kurtul, Gulnur; Yildirim, Gurcan; Turgay, Tahsin; Terzioglu, C.
    The influence of oxygen and Mn2O3 impurity addition intervals 0.01 <= x <= 0.30 on the basic electrical conductivity, stabilization, crystallinity quality, grain boundary couplings, structural, orbital hybridization mechanisms, and superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O7-yMnx ceramics has extensively been analyzed by electrical resistivity, X-ray diffraction investigations, and related theoretical results. It has been found that there is a strong link between the production conditions and fundamental characteristic features. All the results deduced have enabled us to discuss the variation of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions, order parameter for super-electrons and cooper-pairs, organization of Cu-O coordination, homogeneities of oxidation states, microscopic structural problems, electronic density states, and grain boundary couplings between the adjacent layers in the YBa2Cu3O7-y ceramics. Similarly, we have discussed the change in the formation of pairing mechanisms and bipolarons in the polarizable lattices in the microdomain clusters. The results have shown that both the presence of oxygen and optimum manganese impurity of x = 0.07 led to the enhancement in the fundamental characteristic features related to the basic physical, quantum mechanical, and thermodynamics features. Thus, the material produced at the most ideal conditions has exhibited the best orthorhombic crystal structure with the distortion degree of 6.419 x 10(-3), paring mechanism, and crystallinity quality due to the development of orthorhombicity and oxygen ordering degree. Namely, the addition of optimum manganese impurity has organized the Cu-O coordination and stabilized the crystal structure as much as possible. Numerically, the sample prepared with x = 0.07 Mn ions has displayed the largest crystallite size, c-axis length, residual resistivity ratio, onset, and offset critical temperatures of 10.977, 11.723 & Aring;, 73 nm, 98.320 K, and 100.504 K, respectively. Conversely, the same material has demonstrated the smallest oxygen ordering degree of 6.714, strain of 44.015 x 10(-3), and a- and b-axis lengths of 3.792 and 3.841 & Aring;. On the other hand, the oxygen-free annealing condition and excess manganese impurity have completely damaged the whole mechanism because of the phase transition from orthorhombic to tetragonal (structural O-T transition) crystal structure. To sum up, the oxygen and optimum manganese impurity have encouraged the YBa2Cu3O7-y superconductors to use in much more application fields.
