MUZAFFER CAN

MUZAFFER CAN is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, specializing in conducting polymer research for renewable energy applications. His work bridges materials science, electrochemistry, and analytical chemistry with a focus on practical device engineering.

His core research encompasses Conducting Polymers, Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells, Electrochemistry, Spectroscopy, Chemical Polymerization, and Analytical Chemistry. He investigates structural and electrical properties of polyaniline, polypyrrole, and copolymers through chemical/electrochemical synthesis, emphasizing dopant effects, solvent interactions, and nanostructure formation. Key contributions include developing polyaniline-based counter electrodes for solar cells and characterizing hydrogen-bonded molecular systems.

Analysis of his 2010-2017 publications reveals three dominant trends: (1) Optimization of conducting polymers for dye-sensitized solar cells (counter electrodes, microrod architectures), (2) Fundamental studies of polymerization mechanisms (acid/oxidant effects in anhydrous media), and (3) Electrical characterization of organic/inorganic hybrid devices (Schottky diodes with p-Si interfaces). His interdisciplinary approach consistently targets enhanced photovoltaic efficiency and material stability.
