Development of high performance composite lithium ion battery cathode systems with carbon nanotubes functionalised with bimetallic inorganic nanocrystal alloys
(University of Western Cape, 2011)Lithium ion cathode systems based on composites of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄), iron-cobalt-derivatised carbon nanotubes (FeCo-CNT) and polyaniline (PA) nanomaterials were developed. The FeCo-functionalised CNTs were ... -
One-Dimensional nanostructured polymeric materials for solar cell applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)This work entails the preparation of various polyanilines with different morphologies and their application in photovoltaic solar cells. Zinc oxide (ZnO) with one-dimensional and flower-like morphology was also prepared ... -
Preparation and physico-chemical properties of nickel nanostructured materials deposited in etched ion-track membrane
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)The development of finely dispersed powders and superfine-grained materials intended for application in various areas of science and engineering is one of the challenges facing modern nanotechnology. Thus, specific fundamental ...
