In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) was preferred for the antenna substrate because it is environmentally friendly, easy to recycle, provides convenience in production design with a three-dimensional (3D) printer, and is less expensive compared to other available materials. Copper (Cu) tape and graphene filament were employed for the antenna patch component due to their benefits. The comprehensive comparative analysis between a full-wave model and a 3D-printed prototype of the antenna via the CST Microwave Studio program was demonstrated here. The surface characterization was achieved with scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis. The homogeneous Cu and oxidized graphene (GO) were detected. The weight percent of carbon (C) and oxygen (O) on the graphene surface was 59.82% and 40.18%, respectively. The Cu (111), Cu (200), and Cu (220) peaks were determined on the Cu tape. The GO (011) peak was seen in the XRD spectra of the graphene sheet. The simulation and measurement comparisons are quite satisfactory. The antennas, produced using a conventional 3D printer, will be beneficial for various applications in aeronautics and astronautics.Öğe Advances in the chemical and biological diversity of heterocyclic systems incorporating pyrimido[1,6-a]pyrimidine and pyrimido[1,6-c]pyrimidine scaffolds(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2020) Elattar, Khaled M.; Mert, Basak Dogru; Monier, M.; El-Mekabaty, AhmedHeterocycles incorporating a pyrimidopyrimidine scaffold have aroused great interest from researchers in the field of medical chemistry because of their privileged biological activities; they are used as anti-bacterial, antiviral, anti-tumor, anti-allergic, antihypertensive, anticancer, and hepatoprotective agents.

PTCA has a remarkable corrosion inhibition capability to mild steel, which inhibited both anodic and cathodic corrosion rates, relying on it's physically adsorption on the metal solution interface and protection ability was increased with increasing PTCA concentration. The obtained adsorption equilibrium constant was 11.11 x 103 M-1 and calculated standard free energy of adsorption was -33.03 kJ mol-1. The determined activation energy values were 55.58 kJ mol-1 and 96.86 kJ mol-1 in 0.5 M HCl in the absence and presence of 10 mM PTCA, respectively. PTCA demonstrated a strong inhibition efficiency of 98.3%, after 168 h immersion, according to the EIS results. As a consequently, we recommend that PTCA is a convenient inhibitor in 0.1 M HCl for mild steel protection against corrosion.Öğe Design and performance analysis of a PV-assisted alkaline electrolysis for hydrogen production: An experimental and theoretical study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Mert, Mehmet Erman; Edis, Cansu; Akyildiz, Senay; Demir, Beyza Nur; Nazligul, Huseyin; Gurdal, Yeliz; Mert, Basak DogruThe PV assisted alkaline electrolysis cell was established for hydrogen generation.

For this purpose, biochar was produced via pyrolysis of Pinus nigra (PN) sawdust in a stainless-steel reactor at 300, 400 and 500 degrees C with 10 degrees C/min heating rate. The Fe2O3 particles were fabricated via the green synthesis method. The Fe2O3-biochar electrocatalyst was operated on Ni foam electrode and the potential application as an anode for methanol fuel cell was investigated in an alkaline medium. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR/ATR) were used to characterize the morphology of the electrocatalyst samples. The electrochemical measurements of electrocatalyst samples were achieved via cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and chronoamperometry (CA). The enlarged surface area of biochar enabled the formation of more electroactive sites for methanol electrooxidation and favorable structures of biochar could support to increased electrocatalytic activity of catalysts for methanol oxidation and produce favorable matrices for Fe2O3 loading. The obtained results demonstrate that the electrooxidation of methanol occurred at 0.36 V. The favorable structures of biochar acted as a support, enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of Fe2O3 for methanol oxidation. The electrocatalyst demonstrated remarkable activity with almost 4 A g-1 current density at 0.55 V. The Rct values were 0.73 omega and 0.45 omega at 0.55 V, for Ni foam and Ni foam/Fe2O3-biochar, respectively. Long-term measurements demonstrated that the Ni foam/Fe2O3-biochar catalysts was remarkably stable, with a 4 % difference in current before and after the CA analysis.Öğe Theoretical and experimental investigations on corrosion control of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution by 4-aminothiophenol(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2019) Yildiz, Resit; Mert, Basak DogruPurpose This paper aims to study inhibitory effect of 4-aminothiophenol on the corrosion of mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M HCl.
