Cesium hydrogen sulphate and cesium dihydrogen phosphate based solid composite electrolyte for fuel cell application
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
A new high temperature solid electrolyte composite was developed, with CsHSO4 and CsH2PO4 as the proton conducting material in composition with PTFE and SiO2 to enhance the solid electrolyte composites mechanical strength ...
Pyrazole and pyrazolyl palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes: synthesis and in vitro evaluation as anticancer agents
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
The use of metallo-pharmaceuticals, such as the platinum drugs, for cancer treatment illustrates the utility of metal complexes as therapeutic agents. Platinum group metal complexes therefore offer potential as anti-tumour ...
The development of inorganic and organic/inorganic membranes for DMFC application
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
A fuel cell is an energy device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Low temperature fuel cells, namely the hydrogen fuel cell and the direct methanol fuel cell are preferred amongst other fuel cell types ...
Heterocycle carbonyl pyrazolyl palladium(II) complexes :synthesis, ethylene oligomerisation and polymerisation catalysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Reactions of furan, thiophene and alkyl carbonyl chlorides with Unsubstituted and substituted pyrazoles produced the desired pyrazolyl ligands, [R2pyrazole-CO-R/] (R= H, Me, tBu, Ph, R/ = furan, thiophene, Me or tBu) in ...
Solid phase micro extraction: an alternative technique for the determination of volatile orgnanic compounds in groundwater
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Standard methods for sample preparation use toxic organic solvents and can be replaced by utilizing a new sample preparation and concentration technique. One such technique, compatible with capillary gas chromatography was ...
Pyramlyl palladium(Il) complexes as phenylacetylene oligomerization and polymerization catalysts'
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
PyrazoM compounds have been extensively used to prepare metal complexes, but it
is only recently that they have been investigated as catalysts for the polymerization of
unsaturated hydrocarbons. In catalyzn11g the ...
