Synthesis and properties of nanoparticulate titanium dioxide compounds
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
An electrolytic cell was designed and constructed for the preparation of TiO2 nanotubes. Conditions of anodic oxidation were established to reproducibly prepare TiO2 nanotubes of average length 35-50 μm vertically orientated ...
Development of capacitive deionisation electrodes: optimization of fabrication methods and composition
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Membrane Capacitive Deionisation (MCDI) is a technology used to desalinate water where a potential is applied to an electrode made of carbonaceous materials resulting in ion adsorption. Processes and materials for the ...
Supercapacitor development from transition metal-integrated spinel manganese oxide-carbon nanotubes composite materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy storage devices, much like Li-ion batteries, that
have expeditiously been improved over the years through extensive research conducted in
material sciences and nanotechnology. ...
Electrochemical actuation potential of diaminophenazine linked pyrrole derivatives
(2013)
A novel monomer (Phenazine-2,3-diimino(pyrrole-2-yl)–PDP) derived from the condensation reaction between 2,3-diaminophenazine and a pyrrole derivative has
been synthesized as a hinge molecule in the design of a zig-zag ...
Synthesis and electrochemistry of novel conducting dendrimeric star copolymers on poly(propylene imine) dendrimer
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
One of the most powerful aspects of conducting polymers is their ability to be nanostructured through innovative, synthetically manipulated, transformations, such as to tailor-make the polymers for specialized applications. ...
