Optimization of lead halide perovskite thin films by chemical vapour deposition
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Perovskite solar cells have gained tremendous attention within the past
decade, due to its rapid improvement in power conversion e ciency (PCE),
with the current record cell at 25%. The aim of this study is to create ...
The impact of Niacin on PCSK9 levels in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops)
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as ischaemic heart diseases, heart failure and stroke
remain a major cause of death globally. Various deep-rooted factors influence CVD
development; these include but are not limited ...
Magmatic-petrogenetic & structural relationships of the peninsula granite of the Cape Granite Suite (CGS) with the Malmesbury group, sea point contact, Saldania belt, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The Sea Point contact, Cape Town, South Africa, exposes the contact between the
Neoproterozoic Malmesbury Group metasedimentary rocks of the Pan-African Saldania belt
and the intrusive S-type Peninsula Granite of the ...
Radiation-induced leukaemia in South Africa: response of lymphocytes and cd34+ cells to different radiation qualities.
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Epidemiological studies have highlighted that leukaemia can be considered as the most prominent malignancy after radiation exposure during childhood. The lifetime risk on radiation-induced leukaemia for a given dose is 3 ...
Nitrogen and argon treatment of titanium dioxide nanowire arrays
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
TiO2 nanoparticle films are important electron transport layers (ETLs) in photovoltaics such as
dye-sensitised, perovskite and polymer hetero-junction solar cells. These films, however, have
significant electron trap-sites ...
Investigating the antimicrobial potential of Thalassomonas actiniarum
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
bioassay guided isolation approach was then used to isolate the high molecular weight antibacterial compound (50kDa-100kDa) from T. actiniarum fermentations. With common protein isolation, purification and detection methods ...
Investigating the antimicrobial potential of Thalassomonas actiniarum
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The World Health Organisation predicts that by the year 2050, 10 million people could die annually as a result of infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria. Individuals with compromised immune systems, caused by ...
A systematic conservation plan for threatened freshwater wetlanddependent waterbirds across South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Freshwater ecosystems are valuable to all components of biodiversity communities. Globally, these
ecosystems are threatened by human activity and as a consequence, many vertebrates, including
waterbirds, have become ...
Photo-physical properties of lead-tin binary Perovskite thin films
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Organic-inorganic lead-based perovskite has exhibited great performance in the past few years.
However, the lead (Pb) embedded in those compounds is a significant drawback to further
progress, due to its environmental ...
The use of remote sensing data for assessing water quality in wetlands within the Limpopo River Basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Wetlands are unique ecosystems that are acknowledged among the world’s most productive and valuable ecosystems. They are recognized as being essential to sustainable development and human welfare due to their unique ...
