Electrochemical and optical modulation of selenide and telluride ternary alloy quantum dots genosensors
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Electroanalytical and optical properties of nanoscale materials are very important for biosensing applications as well as for understanding the unique one-dimensional carrier transport mechanism. One-dimensional semiconductor ...
Chemistry and speciation of potentially toxic and radioactive elements during mine water treatment
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Mine water poses a serious environmental challenge and contains elements such as Fe, Al, and Mn in potentially toxic concentrations. The major anion in mine water is sulphate. The complexity and diversity of mine water ...
Nanostructured light weight hydrogen storage materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The main objective of this study was to advance kinetic performances of formation and decomposition of magnesium hydride by design strategies which include high energy ball milling in hydrogen (HRBM), in combination with ...
Zeolite A, X and Cancrinite from South African coal fly ash: mechanism of crystallization, routes to rapid synthesis and new morphology
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
In South Africa, almost 90 % of the country’s electricity is generated from coal combustion. This reliance on coal for energy production is projected to continue in the near and medium term due to the increasing demand for ...
