Advanced oxygen reduction reaction catalysts/material for direct methanol fuel cell (dmfc) application
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)Fuel cells are widely considered to be efficient and non-polluting power source offering much higher energy density. This study is aimed at developing oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) catalysts with reduced platinum (Pt) ... -
Platinum based catalysts for the cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells
(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 ... -
Pt Nanophase supported catalysts and electrode systems for water electrolysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)In this study novel composite electrodes were developed, in which the catalytic components were deposited in nanoparticulate form. The efficiency of the nanophase catalysts and membrane electrodes were tested in an important ...
