The composition of photocatalytic nanofibres through electrospinning
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)The aim of this study was to enrich electrospun fibres with the active mineral phase TiO2 nanoparticles and then to evaluate how well the composite fibres performed in the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue ... -
Electrospinning of porous composite materials for hydrogen storage application
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)Due to the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the production of environmentally harmful by-products such as carbon dioxide, there is an urgent need for alternate sustainable clean energy. One of the leading ... -
Functionalisation of polymer nanofibres and track-etched membrane removal of organic and and inorganic pollutants from water
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Organic and inorganic pollutants are two broad classes of pollutants in the environment with their main sources from waste waters that are indiscriminately dumped from chemical related industries. Among the organic ... -
Low temperature tungsten trioxide nano/micro-systems for applications in gas sensing and electrochromism
(2013)In this work we primarily set out to investigate the technique of Aqueous Chemical Growth as a means of producing WO3 thin films that find applications in gas sensing and electrochromism. For the first time we demonstrated ... -
Photocatalytic activity of supported TiO2 nanocrystals
(2013)In recent times, the occurrence and presence of complex recalcitrant toxic contaminants in water and wastewater is increasing and consequently contributes to the non-availability of clean and safe drinking water. Water ...
