Author:Mkwizu, TS; Mathe, Mahlanyane K; Cukrowski, IDate:2009Nanoclusters of bimetallic composition involving platinum with gold or ruthenium were sequentially deposited via redoxreplacement of electrodeposited sacrificial Cu adlayers for controlling the deposition of the noble metals. These steps were ...Read more
Author:Fashedemi, OO; Ozoemena, KIDate:May 2014Electrocatalytic oxidation of alcohols in alkaline solutions is critical for the development of direct alkaline alcohol fuel cells (DAAFCs). This work investigated alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR) at a novel palladium-based core-shell nano ...Read more
Author:Adekunle, AS; Ozoemena, KIDate:Nov 2010In this work, edged plane pyrolytic graphite electrode EPPGE was modified with functionalised single-walled carbon nanotubes and Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB). The modified electrode was characterised by techniques such as TEM, FTIR, XPS, ...Read more
Author:Fashedemi, OO; Ozoemena, KIDate:Jul 2011A facile method has been utilized to synthesize ahydrophobic form of nano-scaled iron (II) tetrasulfophthalocyanine (nanoFeTSPc), integrated with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (fMWCNT-nanoFeTSPc). The nanocomposite was characterized ...Read more
Author:Masa, J; Ozoemena, KI; Schuhmann, W; Zagal, JHDate:2013The high prospects of exploiting the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for lucrative technologies, for example, in the fuel cells industry, chlor-alkali electrolysis, and metal-air batteries, to name but a few, have prompted enormous research ...Read more
Author:Nkosi, D; Pillay, J; Ozoemena, KI; Nouneh, K; Oyama, MDate:Jan 2010The electron transfer dynamics and electrocatalytic behaviour of ferrocene-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), co-adsorbed with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on a gold electrode, have been interrogated for the first time. ...Read more
