Development of platino-iridium/ruthenium telluride nanoalloy electrode systems for possible application in ammonia fuel cell
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
South Africa is undergoing a serious consideration of hydrogen economy in an effort to develop safe clean and reliable alternative energy sources for fossil fuels. Ammonia is one of the promising candidates due to its low ...
Homogeneity of nanophase electrocatalysts supported on mesoporous materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Synthesis and characterization of cathode catalysts for use in direct methanol fuels cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In this work a modified polyol method was developed to synthesize in-house
catalysts. The method was modified for maximum delivery of product and proved to be quick and efficient as well as cost effective. The series of ...
Characterization of platinum-group metal nanophase electrocatalysts employed in the direct methanol fuel cell and solid-polymer electrolyte electrolyser
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Characterization of nanophase electrocatalysts, which are an essential part in the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) and solid-polymer electrolyte (SPE) electrolyser, have been studied in this work. Their nanoparticulate ...
Catalyst Coated Membranes (CCMs) for polymerelectrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The main objective of this work it to produce membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) that have improved performance over MEAs produced by the conventional manner, by producing highly efficient, electroactive, uniform catalyst ...
Preparation and characterization of highly active nano pt/c electrocatalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Catalysts play an essential role in nearly every chemical production process. Platinum supported on high surface area carbon substrates (Pt/C) is one of the promising candidates as an electrocatalyst in low temperature ...
Development of nanostructured electrocatalysts using electrochemical atomic layer deposition technique for the direct liquid fuel cells By
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The depletion of fossil fuel resources such as coal and the concern of climatic change arising from the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and global warming [1] lead to the identification of the 'hydrogen economy' as one ...
