    Molybdenum oxide/platinum modified glassy carbon electrode: A novel electrocatalytic platform for the monitoring of electrochemical reduction of oxygen and its biosensing applications
    (2013) Çakar I.; Özdokur K.V.; Demir B.; Yavuz E.; Demirkol D.O.; Koçak S.; Timur S.; Ertaş F.N.
    The reduction of oxygen to water is one of the most important reactions in electrochemistry with regards to the wide range of applications in electrocatalysis, metal corrosion, and fuel cell and mostly in biosensor studies. Present study describes the use of a glassy carbon electrode modified with platinum and molybdenum oxide (Pt-MoOx) in strongly acidic solutions for electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen dissolved in buffer solution for the first time. The dispersion of Pt nanoparticles on MoOx provides larger surface area and better electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction and the best response toward dissolved oxygen was obtained with a mole ratio of 1:90 Pt:Mo in deposition solution. The modified surface was then used as a biosensing platform for the monitoring of oxygen consumption due to the bio-catalytic action of glucose oxidase (GOx) as the model enzyme. After optimization of the operational conditions, analytical characterization and application of the glucose oxidase GOx biosensor to flow injection analysis mode have been successfully performed. © 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

    (Elsevier Ltd, 2015) Yavuz E.; Özdokur K.V.; Çakar I.; Koҫak S.; Ertaş F.N.
    This study reports a detailed analysis of an electrode material containing molybdenum oxide and platinum nanoparticles which shows superior catalytic effect towards to oxygen reduction in weakly acid medium. The material is sequentially electrodeposited on a glassy carbon electrode from aqueous solutions of MoO 4 2- and PtCl 4 2- either by cycling the potential or by applying pulsed potential technique. Chemical and morphological characterization of the electrode surface was made by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The electrode performance towards oxygen reduction reaction was investigated in pH 5.0 acetate buffer solution saturated with oxygen and parameters such as the cell content and electrodeposition conditions were optimized. The performance of the electrode was compared with Pt disk, bare glassy carbon, platinum modified glassy carbon electrodes along with the electrode modified in a single step and named as Pt-MoO x /GCE. Overall results indicated that sequentially deposited molybdenum oxide and platinum modified glassy carbon electrode designated as Pt/MoO x /GCE has shown higher catalytic activity considering the peak location and current intensities. This was consisted with the pulsed electrodeposition process and even higher catalytic activity was obtained than the electrode modified by cycling voltammetry. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

    (Elsevier Ltd, 2016) Özdokur K.V.; Tatli A.Y.; Yilmaz B.; Koçak S.; Ertaş F.N.
    Manganese and molybdenum mixed oxides were co-deposited in a thin film form by pulsed deposition technique on a glassy carbon substrate, and this mixed oxide film was further decorated with platinum nanoparticles. Formaldehyde, being a candidate for proton exchange membrane fuel cell applications, was chosen as the test material for the catalytic activities of the developed surface in alkaline media. The synergetic effect of the mixed metal oxide deposit incorporating Pt nanoparticles was verified by using different mol ratios of the corresponding metal ions and applying pulsed deposition conditions and under optimized conditions and, resultant oxidation peak has shown a significant increase in the peak current accompanied by the small shift in the peak potential. The modified composite electrodes were characterized by SEM, EDX, XPS and EIS. © 2016 Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Nanostructured Metal–Metal Oxides and Their Electrocatalytic Applications
    (wiley, 2018) Özdokur K.V.; Koçak S.; Ertaş F.N.
    Electrochemical nanotechnologies have witnessed great fundamental advances in the last two decades. The strong interaction between the nanoscience and electrochemistry has led intensified studies on nanostructured materials for electronic, electrochromic, catalytic, and analytical applications. Many researchers have focused on metallic and carbon-based nanomaterials for electrocatalysis, energy conversion systems, and sensor development. The requirement of improvement of the performance of conventional Pt-based catalysts along with the search for low cost alternatives has led to the development of multicomponent catalysis systems. Due to their abundant sources and low cost, transition metal oxides offer a wide range of applications in various fields. However, their performance was found to be dependent on the synthesis procedure. Electrochemical deposition is usually the method of choice not only because this technique is a more practical and economical way for readily producing large uniform oxide thin films but also because the technique provides the controlling of the nature of the deposit by changing the deposition parameters. By this means, a mixed-valent metal oxide (MeOx) film can be produced on a carbon or other substrates, which is believed to be responsible for their catalytic activities. Further improvement in the catalytic performance can be maintained by the combination of hyper-d electronic noble metals, platinum in particular, with hypo-d electronic transition metal oxides. This chapter also covers the recently developed deposition techiques such as electrochemical pulsed deposition (PD). This technique favors the formation of nucleation sites and hence contributes to a high dispersion of the deposits compared to other methods. The performance of the electrode on both anodic and cathodic directions can be further enhanced by decorating with metallic nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes. © 2019 Scrivener Publishing LLC.

    (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020) Akoğulları S.; Çιnar S.; Özdokur K.V.; Aydemir T.; Ertaş F.N.; Koçak S.
    Present study describes the synthesis of mixed oxide films of manganese and vanadium by electrochemical pulsed deposition technique on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The film was further decorated with gold nanoparticles to enhance the reduction signal of dissolved oxygen in pH 5.17 acetate buffer solution. All of the electrochemical synthesized modified electrodes have been characterized with Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The electrode obtained (AuNPs/MnOx−VOx/CNT/GCE) was utilized as a platform for glucose biosensor where the glucose oxidase enzyme was immobilized on the composite film with the aid of chitosan and an ionic liquid. The electrochemical performance of the biosensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and the relative parameters have been optimized by amperometric measurements in pH 5.17 acetate buffer solution. The developed biosensor exhibited a linear range for glucose between 0.1–1.0 mM and the limit of detection was calculated as 0.02 mM. © 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022) Koçak Ç.C.; Aslışen B.; Karabiberoğlu Ş.; Özdokur K.V.; Aslan A.; Koçak S.
    In this paper, an electrochemical sensor for levofloxacin detection was developed by electrochemical polymerization of pyrogallol red (PGR) on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surfaces. Surface morphology and electrical properties of the Poly(PGR)/GCE obtained was characterized by SEM and EIS techniques. Voltammetric behaviour of the levofloxacin was found pH dependent, and the best response was obtained at pH 6.0 PBS. By monitoring the peak current at around 0.9 V, a wide linear range of calibration graph: from 0.2 μM- 15 μM LEV and 15 μM- 355 μM for levofloxacin, and very low detection limit of 97 nM were achieved with amperometry. Selectivity of the method developed was proven in the presence of possible interfering substances and the method was successfully employed for levofloxacin detection in pharmaceutical tablet and synthetic urine sample. © 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH.

    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Zorlu R.; Özdokur K.V.; Acımert Ö.B.; Demir Z.; Çağlar B.; Çırak Ç.; Koçak S.
    In this study, the hydrothermal surface modification of galvanized steel was performed on the substrate without any precursor ion for the first time to achieve a photocatalytic activity under UV light irradiation. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the modified and bare samples were examined by XRD, SEM-EDX, XPS, FTIR, UV-DRS and PL analyses. Electrochemical and wettability properties were determined with potentiostat and contact angle goniometry, respectively. The photocatalytic performances of surface modified galvanized steel samples were also investigated and comparatively evaluated by photo-degradation of quinoline yellow dye under UV light irradiation. Upon the doping silver ions into the structure, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of fabricated composite material was determined as 100 % after the periods of 65 min. To the best of our knowledge this study is the first study dealing with photodegradation of quinolone yellow by using modified galvanized samples. The modified galvanized steel samples exhibited 96.1 % of its initial activity after 5 cycles. The surface modification by hydrothermal treatment improved the electrochemical properties of galvanized steel. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024) Saltan F.; Saltan G.M.; İlktaç R.; Özdokur K.V.
    A new type polymeric adsorbent, poly(allylphenol-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-vinyl imidazole) (PAHV), is synthesized in this study. 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is used as complementary monomers along with 1-vinyl imidazole and allylphenol monomers. The photopolymerization method is preferred as a synthesis method and benzophenone is used as the photoinitiator. The effectiveness of the PAHV against bacterial species such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus is investigated by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) disk diffusion method. The inhibition areas of PA1H1V3 and PA1H1V1 derivatives against E. coli and S. aureus are measured as 25 mm ± 0.25 mm and 7 mm ± 0.1 mm; 20 mm ± 0.25 mm, and 5 mm ± 0.1 mm, respectively. Sorption efficiencies (%) at pH = 6 (selected optimum pH) for 100 μg/L Cd and Cr of the PA1H1V1, PA1H3V1, and PA1H1V3 derivatives are found to be 69.0 ± 2.7 and 58.3 ± 6.7, 66.8 ± 6.2 and 75.8 ± 5.5, and 97.2 ± 3.7 and 97.7 ± 3.2 (n = 3), respectively. Adsorption studies revealed that the PA1H1V3 polymer can be used as an alternative for the sorption of cadmium and chromium. The pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model fits for both adsorption processes. The adsorption capacities obtained from the Langmuir isotherm model for chromium and cadmium sorption are 52.63 and 68.49 μg g−1, respectively. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
