Electrocatalytic activity of sputtered Pt and Pt3Pd2 thin films for SO2(aq) electro-oxidation
(North-West University, 2018)The ever growing demand for energy and worldwide focus on global warming have dictated the course of research in energy production for the past couple of decades, with much emphasis placed on the need for clean and renewable ... -
The genotoxic effect of gold nanoparticles in cultured human cells
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Gold nanoparticles are ultrafine particles which are being used diversely in the medical field. Despite their versatility, the toxicity research which has been conducted on these particles is incredibly limited as well ... -
Investigating reactive sputtered IrxNiyOz electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)Alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is a promising, simple and environmentally friendly technology, when coupled with renewable energy sources (e.g. wind and solar), to produce high purity hydrogen gas for clean energy ... -
Investigating sputtered thin film Pt-containing electrocatalysts for SO2(aq) electro-oxidation
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Environmental concerns, social, economic and political pressure, and new technologies are the main factors driving change in energy systems around the globe. Human life and development are inevitably dependent on energy ... -
Optimisation of PtxNiyAlz ratios as thin film electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline medium
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The world is currently reliant on energy sources such as oil, coal and gas (all fossil fuels) for the supply of the global growing energy demand. However, these fossil fuels are diminishing and have drawbacks such as the ... -
Quantification of selected energy and redox markers in blood samples of chronic fatigue syndrome patients
(2014)Chronic, noncommunicable diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis) are rapidly becoming a worldwide epidemic that profoundly affects public health and productivity. Chronic fatigue ... -
Synthesis and evaluation of (NiZnxCry)O electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Stored energy, as a result of the conversion of renewable resources has resulted in extensive research and development efforts towards water electrolysis. Alkaline water electrolysis, in combination with renewable energy ...
