Author:Mthunzi-Kufa, Patience; He, K; Ngcobo, Sandile; Warner, JWDate:Feb 2014Literature reports graphene, an atomic-thick sheet of carbon atoms as one of the promising biocompatible scaffolds that promotes cellular proliferation in human mesenchymal stem cells. On the other hand, different mammalian cell lines including ...Read more
Author:Mthunzi-Kufa, Patience; He, K; Ngcobo, Sandile; Khanyile, T; Warner, JHDate:May 2014Pluripotent stem cells are hugely attractive in the tissue engineering research field as they can self-renew and be selectively differentiated into various cell types. For stem cell and tissue engineering research it is important to develop ...Read more
Author:Mwakikunga, Bonex W; Hillie, KTDate:Sep 2011This chapter introduces some facts about graphene, how it was discovered, how it has been realised by several approaches and how to get its identity. Its identity is seen either through cross-sectional TEM or through its unique signature in ...Read more
Author:Folorunso, O; Hamam, Y; Sadiku, R; Adekoya, GJ; Ray, Suprakash SDate:Apr 2020The discredit state of lithium-ion (Ln) battery is as a result of the challenges associated with electrodes, inadequate power and energy densities. For a battery to be classified as suitable for electric vehicle and grid power suppliers, ...Read more
Author:Wen, L; Liang, J; Liu, C-M; Chen, J; Luo, HongzeDate:Nov 2016Spinel Li(sub4)Ti(sub5)O(sub12) has been considered as a promising anode material to substitute graphite in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) for large scale electrical energy storage due to its high safety and long cycling stability. However, the ...Read more
