Graphol and vanadia-linkedzink-doped lithium manganese silicate nanoarchitectonic platforms for supercapatteries
(University of Western cape, 2020)
Energy storage technologies are rapidly being developed due to the increased awareness of global warming and growing reliance of society on renewable energy sources. Among various electrochemical energy storage technologies, ...
Electrochemical cytochrome P450 enzymatic biosensors for the determination of the reactivity of TB drugs
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global epidemic despite the fact that treatment has been available since the 1950’s. This disease is highly contagious and spreads via transmission of the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) tubercle ...
Novel Nanostructure Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions
(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, ...

Synthesis and characterisation of high silica zeolites with MOR and MFI framework type from South African coal fly ash.
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
High-silica zeolites are porous, aluminosilicate materials known for high thermal stability;
making these materials favourable for application in various industrial processes involving
elevated temperatures. The synthesis ...
Sustainable synthesis of BEA zeolite from fly ash-based amorphous silica
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
Power generation in South Africa depends majorly on the combustion of coal and the
increasing demand for energy due to industrialisation and population growth signifies the
continuous consumption of coal. During this ...
Electrochemical ochratoxin a immunosensors based on polyaniline nanocomposites templated with amine- and sulphate-functionalised polystyrene latex beads
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Polyaniline nanocomposites doped with poly(vinylsulphonate) (PV-SO3) and nanostructured polystyrene (PSNP) latex beads functionalized with amine (PSNP-NH2) and sulphate ((PSNP-OSO3) were prepared and characterised for use ...
The development of inorganic and organic/inorganic membranes for DMFC application
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
A fuel cell is an energy device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Low temperature fuel cells, namely the hydrogen fuel cell and the direct methanol fuel cell are preferred amongst other fuel cell types ...
The catalytic membrane reactor for the conversion of methane to methanol and formaldehyde under mild conditions
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
This thesis described the development of new catalytic system for the conversion of natural gas (methane) to liquid products such as methanol and formaldehyde. This technology can allow the exploitation of small and medium ...
Degradation of persistent organic pollutants (pharmaceuticals & dyes) by combined dielectric barrier electrohydraulic discharge system and photo catalysts
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Water pollution problems have continued to increase not only in South Africa but worldwide due to human activities. The presence of organic toxins and bacteria in water sources is mostly due to population growth, industrial ...
