Effect of synthetic methods on the characteristics and performance of IrO2 catalysts
Karels, Simoné (University of the Western Cape, 2022)For many years fossil fuel has been the primary source of energy worldwide though, the environment is negatively affected because of the high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with the use of fossil fuels. Hydrogen ... -
Iridium based mixed oxides as efficient anode catalysts for Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) electrolysers
Felix, Cecil (2010)The objective of the thesis is to develop highly efficient catalysts for solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) electrolyser anodes.The anode is the primary cause of the large overpotential of SPE electrolysers and also adds ... -
A modified Adams fusion method for the synthesis of binary metal oxide catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction
Soudens, Franschke A (University of Western Cape, 2020)The majority of the global energy is sourced from conventional fossil fuels. The high demand for energy is accelerating along with the depletion of these fossil fuels. Hence, the shift to renewable energy sources and ... -
Platinum based catalysts for the cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells
Ndzuzo, Linathi (University of the Western Cape, 2018)Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is carried out in the cathode of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and it is known for its sluggish kinetics and the existence of two-pathway mechanism, related with the production ...
