Abstract

In this study, low-cost two new chitin derivatives were first synthesized. Products formed in the consequence of the reaction of chitin with 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride were named C4NC and C35DC, respectively. Then, C4NC and C35DC were characterized by FTIR and 13C CP-MAS solid-state NMR spectroscopies and X-ray powder diffraction technique. Surface topography and composition of C4NC and C35DC with a scanning electron microscope were investigated. Mass loss in C4NC and C35DC with thermogravimetric analysis method was determined as a function of increasing temperature. Endothermic and exothermic transitions in C4NC and C35DC were investigated with differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. Later on, charge carrier density, hole mobility, and electrical conductivity values of C4NC and C35DC were determined. Besides, Schottky diodes of C4NC and C35DC were constructed, and several parameters related to these diodes were determined. Finally, the sensitivity of these diodes to light was studied.
