Electrochemical investigation of platinum nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes as cathode electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cell
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)The particles of the Pt metal were well dispersed on carbon nanotubes when EG was used and in isopropanol poor dispersion was observed and no further investigation was done on them. The platinum wt% on the supports observed ... -
Graphene supported antimony nanoparticles on carbon electrodes for stripping analysis of environmental samples
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), particularly palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) have been identified as pollutants in the environment due to their increased use in catalytic converters and mining in South Africa ... -
Synthesis, characterization and physicochemical properties of platinum naboparticles on ordered mesoporous carbon
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)In this study SBA-15 mesoporous silica template was synthesized and used as a sacrificial template in the preparation of ordered mesoporous carbon material. A chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique using LPG or ...
