Advanced low temperature metal hydride materials for low temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell application
Ntsendwana, Bulelwa (University of the Western Cape, 2010)Energy is one of the basic needs of human beings and is extremely crucial for continued development of human life. Our work, leisure and our economic, social and physical welfare all depend on the sufficient, uninterrupted ... -
Advanced materials on the basis of nanostructured catalysed magnesium hydride for hydrogen storage
Goh, Jonathan Teik Ean (University of the Western Cape, 2019)Magnesium hydride has long been regarded as a promising candidate for lightweight hydrogen storage applications, owing to reasonably high theoretical capacity (7.6 wt. %). It is burdened by slow absorption/desorption ... -
Electrochemical energy conversion using metal hydrides hydrogen storage materials
Jonas, Ncumisa Prudence (University of the Western Cape, 2010)Metal hydrides hydrogen storage materials have the ability to reversibly absorb and release large amounts of hydrogen at low temperature and pressure. In this study, metal hydride materials employed as negative electrodes ... -
Hydrogen generation by hydrolysis of magnesium and aluminium alloys and their hydrides
Sekgobela, Tshepo Kgokane (University of the Western Cape, 2021)This study presents the successful characterization and hydrolysis of magnesium hydride (MgH2) for hydrogen generation. The as-received MgH2 served as a precursor in most of the hydrolysis experiments for H2 generation. ... -
Nanostructured light weight hydrogen storage materials
Sibanyoni, Johannes Mlandu (University of the Western Cape, 2012)The main objective of this study was to advance kinetic performances of formation and decomposition of magnesium hydride by design strategies which include high energy ball milling in hydrogen (HRBM), in combination with ...
