Electrochemical study of electrode support material for direct methanol fuel cell applications
(University of Western Cape, 2013)
This study focused on binary PtRu and PtSn electrocatalyst, synthesized using the polyol
approach and supported on MWCNTs, TiO2 and MoO2 materials, after synthesis part of the resultant electrocatalyst was heat treated ...
Electrochemical actuation potential of diaminophenazine linked pyrrole derivatives
(2013)
A novel monomer (Phenazine-2,3-diimino(pyrrole-2-yl)–PDP) derived from the condensation reaction between 2,3-diaminophenazine and a pyrrole derivative has
been synthesized as a hinge molecule in the design of a zig-zag ...
Hydrophilic Polysulfone-Hydrogel Membrane Material for Improved Nanofiltration in Wastewater Treatment
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Over the last decade polysulfone membranes have been demonstrated to be one
of the best membrane types in wastewater treatment, especially in ultrafiltration,
owing to its mechanical robustness, structural and chemical ...
Investigation of anti-cancer potential of Pleiocarpa pycnantha leaves
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
The Apocynaceae family is well known for its potential anticancer activity. Pleiocarpamine isolated from the Apocynaceae family and a constituent of Pleiocarpa pycnantha has been reported for anti-cancer activity. Prompted ...
Re-use of South African fly ash for CO2 capture and brine remediation.
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Coal combustion accounts for 95% of electricity generation in South Africa while globally coal combustion for energy generation stands at 42%. It has been predicted that coal utilization for energy generation will continue ...
Electrochemical responses of novel preferentially oriented platinum (100) nanoalloys for ammonia and hydrazine catalysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Ammonia has attracted attention as a possible fuel for direct fuel cells since it is easy to handle under low pressure, costs only slightly higher than methanol and can easily be cracked down into hydrogen and nitrogen. ...
Development of Impedimetric Immunosensor for Fumonisin on Polyanilino-Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Palladium Telluride Nanocrystals
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Immunosensors are affinity ligand-based biosensor solid-state devices in which the immunochemical reaction is coupled to a transducer. The specificity of the molecular recognition of antigens by antibodies to form a stable ...
