Development of nanobiosensors for phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds and anti- tuberculosis drugs
(2013)Tuberculosis still remains one of the world’s killer diseases. Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of the most commonly prescribed anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs due to its ability to significantly shorten the TB treatment ... -
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, ... -
Hot-wire chemical vapour deposition of carbon Nanotubes
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)In this study we report on the effect of the deposition parameters on the morphology and structural properties of CNTs, synthesized by means of the hot-wire chemical vapour deposition technique. SEM, Raman and XRD results ... -
Modification of nanostructured carbon based supports for direct methanol fuel cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Palladium (Pd) and Palladium-Ruthenium (Pd-Ru) nanoparticles supported by various carbon nanomaterials which include graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with their ... -
Multi-component Platinum Group Metals for the methanol electro-oxidation process
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)The purpose of this study was to develop a high performance-lower cost catalyst to be applied in Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC). The study also aimed to prepare plurimetallic supported platinum (Pt), platinum-ruthenium ... -
Multicomponent catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation processes synthesized using organometallic chemical vapourde position technique
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)In this study, the OMCVD method is demonstrated as a powerful, fast, economic and environmental friendly method to produce a set of PGMelectrocatalysts with different supports, metal content and metal alloys in one step ...
