Latent and thermal energy storage enhancement of silver nanowires-nitrate molten salt for concentrated solar power
Maaza, Malik (University of Western Cape, 2020)Phase change material (PCM) through latent heat of molten salt, is a convincing way for thermal energy storage in CSP applications due to its high volume density. Molten salt, with (60% NaNO3 and 40% KNO3) has been used ... -
Nano-rods WO3-δ for electrochromic smart windows applications
Sibuyi, Praise (University of the Western Cape, 2006)Tungsten oxide is a good electrochromic material which has been used in the construction of smart windows through visible modulation. These smart materials can reversibly change their optical properties with the application ... -
Nonlinear optical properties of natural dyes based on optical resonance
Zongo, Sidiki (University of the Western Cape, 2012)Recent research shows that the study of optical properties of organic material natural dyes has gained much consideration. The specific functional groups in several natural dyes remain essential for the large nonlinear ... -
Photo-physical properties of lead-tin binary Perovskite thin films
Mabiala, Floyd Lionel (University of Western Cape, 2021)Organic-inorganic lead-based perovskite has exhibited great performance in the past few years. However, the lead (Pb) embedded in those compounds is a significant drawback to further progress, due to its environmental ... -
Thermochromic properties of VO2 nano-coatings by inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering
Madiba, Itani Given (University of the Western Cape, 2012)Vanadium dioxide (VO2) films have been known as the most feasible thermochromic nano-coatings for smart windows which self control the solar radiation and heat transfer for energy saving and comfort in houses and automotives. ...
