Hydrogen storage capacity of the Ti-Pd multilayer systems
Magogodi, Steven Mothibakgomo (University of the Western Cape, 2020)Hydrogen has high energy density and it is regarded as the future energy carrier. Hydrogen can be stored as a gas in high-pressure cylinders, as a liquid in cryogenic tanks and as a solid in metal hydrides. The storage of ... -
Hydrogen storage in Ti-based coatings and Ti6Al4V alloy
Mazwi, Sive (University of the Western Cape, 2016)Hydrogen has been regarded as an ideal energy carrier for future, it can be stored as a liquid in cryogenic tanks, a gas in high pressure cylinders and as solid in metal hydrides. Hydrogen storage in metal hydrides is of ... -
Latent and thermal energy storage enhancement of silver nanowires-nitrate molten salt for concentrated solar power
Maaza, Malik (University of Western Cape, 2020)Phase change material (PCM) through latent heat of molten salt, is a convincing way for thermal energy storage in CSP applications due to its high volume density. Molten salt, with (60% NaNO3 and 40% KNO3) has been used ... -
Structural properties and optical modelling of SiC thin films
Ahmed, Fatema (University of the Western Cape, 2020)Amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) is a versatile material due to its interesting mechanical, chemical and optical properties that make it a candidate for application in solar cell technology. As a-SiC stoichiometry can be ... -
A study of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon thin films deposited by hot-wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD)
Halindintwali, Sylvain (University of the Western Cape, 2005)In this thesis, intrinsic hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon thin films for solar cells application have been deposited by means of the hot – wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD) technique and have been characterised ... -
A study of SiC thin film layers for electrically conductive diffusion barrier application in Si thin film solar cells.
Mazibuko, Thandi Elinah (University of the Western Cape, 2019)Semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) thin films of different thicknesses were deposited by electron beam physical vapour deposition (EBPVD) for application as diffusion barrier application to guard against metal contaminants ...
