Tellurium attenuation of kesterite band-gap for improved photovoltaic efficiency
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Tellurium is a member of the chalcogen group in the periodic table and is known to be a better semiconductor material when compared to sulfur and selenium. By introducing tellurium into the kesterite structure there would ... -
Tellurium selenide-gadolinium tungsten oxide quantum dot material for supercapacitor
(University of Western Cape, 2022)Renewable energy has become the main alternative solution to the “energy crisis” the world is faced with. A supercapacitor is one of the energy storage devices capable of storing and releasing energy at a higher rate ... -
Titanium compounds and plant growth
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)The effect of titanium compounds on the growth of tomato plants, Lycopersicum esculentum (cultivar Floridade), was studied under greenhouse conditions. Aqueous suspensions (TiO2) and solutions (complexes of titanium (IV) ... -
The toxicity of silver nanoparticles
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)Unavailability and contamination of available water resources are major factors contributing to adverse health conditions worldwide. AgNPs present a potential strategy for water purification; however, their ability to ... -
Treatment of brines using commercial zeolites and zeolites synthesized from fly ash derivative
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)The objectives of this project was to ameroliate two waste materials, namely Acid Mine Drainage and Fly Ash and recover the solid residues for conversion into an adsorbent to treat brine. The solid residues were then ... -
Treatment of brines using commercial zeolites and zeolites synthesized from fly ash derivative
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)South Africa is one of the countries that have scarce natural resources that they have to preserve what is available at their disposal. South Africa is also fast becoming one of the countries with major industrial development. ... -
The use of cyclodextrin template-based metal oxide nanomaterials in the development of electrochemical sensors for phenolic endocrine disruptor compounds
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared using co-precipitation method in the presence and absence of beta-cyclodextrin β-CD). Such materials were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive ... -
Voltammetric determination of metformin and its derivatives using Cu modified polymer electrode.
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Diabetes, a worldwide disease, is classified into two types, type 1 or insulin-dependent and type 2 or noninsulin-dependent. Based on reports published by the International Diabetes Federation, the total number of those ... -
Water treatment using electrohydraulic discharge system
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)In South Africa, water pollution problems have continued to increase due to increasing anthropogenic activities. The increasing number of organic contaminants in various water sources can be attributed to industrial ... -
Zeolite encapsulated metal complexes as heterogeneous catalysts for oxidation reactions
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)This study describes the synthesis and characterisation of Cu(II) and V(IV) complexes of tri- and quadridentate ligands L1 and L2 formed by condensation of ethylenediamine with acetylacetonate in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, ... -
