1- Prof. Turan Ozturk and coworkers’ report, for the first time, use of thienothiophene (TT) and single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based free-standing and flexible hybrid material (TT-TPA-SWCNT) as a high-performance supercapacitor.
2- Prof. Turan Ozturk and coworkers report, a novel TTM fluorescent probe bearing fluorobenzene substituted thienothiophene, thiophene and malononitrile units for highly sensitive and selective detection of ClO. To literature, this report is one of the rare examples of a dual-channel (optical and electrochemical) probe with a turn-on mechanism.
Prof. Turan Ozturk and coworkers’ report, for the first time, use of thienothiophene (TT) and single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based free-standing and flexible hybrid material (TT-TPA-SWCNT) as a high-performance supercapacitor.
The synthesized TT derivative, TT-TPA, was directly attached to SWCNT through non-covalent interactions to obtain the TT based SWCNT hybrid, TT-TPA-SWCNT as a flexible film. The TT-TPA-SWCNT supercapacitor displayed a high specific capacitance of 83.2 F·g-1 at 5 mV·s-1, a maximum power density of 3000 W·kg-1 and an excellent retention capacity of 110% up to 7000 charge/discharge cycling stability.
Prof. Turan Ozturk and coworkers’ paper introduces a novel hybrid material, thienothiophene (TT) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composite (TT-TPA-SWCNT), as a high-performance supercapacitor. This flexible and free-standing electrode demonstrates an impressive energy storage capacity of 83.2 F g−1 at a 5 mV s−1 scan rate, exceptional cyclic stability with 110% retention after 7000 cycles, and a wide power density range of 100 to 3000 W·kg−1. Advanced characterization methods reveal its promising structure, positioning TT-TPA-SWCNT as a significant advancement in energy storage systems for diverse applications.

Prof. Turan Ozturk and coworkers report, a novel TTM fluorescent probe bearing fluorobenzene substituted thienothiophene, thiophene and malononitrile units for highly sensitive and selective detection of ClO. To literature, this report is one of the rare examples of a dual-channel (optical and electrochemical) probe with a turn-on mechanism.
This paper highlights the development of a novel probe, TTM, which combines thienothiophene and malononitrile units for the exceptionally selective and sensitive detection of hypochlorite (ClO−). As ClO− is a crucial reactive oxygen species in biological systems, with roles in both natural defense and potential oxidative damage when in excess, the need for a reliable detection method is paramount. TTM addresses this need with a rapid “turn-on” fluorescence response in under 30 seconds, naked-eye colorimetric detection, and voltammetric read-out with an anodic scan. The probe's low detection limit and applicability in real water samples and living cells make it a significant advancement. This study is notable for being one of the few examples utilizing a small thienothiophene-based molecule for both optical and electrochemical detection of ClO− in aqueous media.
