Synthesis of bimetallic immiscible alloy nanoparticles through green and gamma radiolysis approaches for environmental remediation applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The synthesis of bimetallic immiscible alloy nanoparticles (NPs) using versatile routes, is a major concern since physio-chemical methods are not environmentally benign. Breaking down the immiscibility would generate NPs ... -
Towards stimuli-responsive functional nanocomposites: Smart tunable plasmonic nanostructures au-v02
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)The fascinating optical properties of metallic nanostructures, dominated by collective oscillations of free electrons known as plasmons, open new opportunities for the development of devices fabrication based on noble ... -
Selection and optimization of the seeding procedure prior to the synthesis of Pd-based membranes
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)Pd based membranes are known for their incredible selectivity towards H2. In order for Pd membranes to display high H2 selectivity, a defect free layer of Pd needs to be deposited onto a support. Although various fabrication ... -
Simulation of silicon and diamond detector systems by GEANT4 simulation techniques
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)There is a constant need for improvement in nuclear particle detection methods. Silicon surface barrier detectors have proved very valuable during the last decades. Diamond is a viable alternative to silicon as a semiconductor ... -
Synthesis and characterization of Ceria with an optimal oxygen storage capacity as potential medium to remove SO2 from flue gas emissions
(University of Western Cape, 2013)Due to an increasing demand for energy, alternative renewable energy sources are investigated globally. However fossil fuels are still one of the main energy sources. The combustion of these fuels produces by-products such ...
