Coordination polymers as heterogeneous catalysts for oxidation reactions
Alarbi, Zohra (University of the Western Cape, 2014)This study describes the synthesis and characterisation of coordination polymers complexes of Cu(II) and VO(IV) with two polymeric ligands N,Nʹ -1,2-phenylene bis(5-methylenesalicylidenamine)(L1) and N,Nʹ -1,4-butylene ... -
Graphene based materials for carbon capture
Kelly, Gabrielle Enid (University of Western Cape, 2020)The adverse effects of CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere is believed to be one of the causes of climate change. The seriousness of global warming is encouraging the development of technologies designed ... -
Novel Nanostructure Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions
Lou, Lin (University of Western Cape, 2020)widespread use of fossil energy has been most convenient to the world, while they also cause environmental pollution and global warming. Therefore, it is necessary to develop clean and renewable energy sources, among which, ... -
Photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants using Ag-Fe₃O₄/SiO₂/TiO₂ nanocomposite
Noganta, Siyasanga (University of the Western Cape, 2015)The global lack of clean water for human sanitation and other purposes has become an emerging dilemma for human beings. The presence of organic pollutants in wastewater produced by textile industries, leather manufacturing ... -
Synthesis and characterization of new adsorbents for CO2 capturing
Piet, Marvin (University of the Western Cape, 2014)Carbon dioxide emissions have become a major concern as they are one of the contributing factors to the “green-house” effect. Recently, much effort has been put into separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gases linked ...
