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:Motshekga, SC; Kesavan Pillai, Sreejarani; Ray, SS; Jalama, K; Krause, RWMDate:Nov 2011Tin oxide (SnO2) - decorated carbon nanotube (CNT) heterostructures were synthesized by microwave assisted wet impregnation method. CNTs of three different aspect ratios were compared. The hybrid samples were characterized by powder X-ray ...Read more

Author:Mathe, Mahlanyane K; Mkwizu, TS; Cukrowski, IDate:Nov 2008The paper reports on the development of automated electrochemical deposition method as a synthetic strategy for fabrication of catalytically-active thin-films (or nanostructured) materials, composed of platinum Group Metals (PGMs), with ...Read more
Author:Wilson, KC; Manikandan, E; Basheer Ahamed, M; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:2014We report on surface morphology changes of in situ tin (Sn) doped cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin film nanostructures prepared on a glass substrate using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique. Sn-doping in the presence of triethanolammine ...Read more
Author:Naushad, Mu; Saravanan, R; Kumar, RajuDate:Mar 2020Nanostructured materials, especially, 1D, 2D and 3D nanostructures, and their engineered architectures are being increasingly used due to their potential to achieve sustainable development in energy and environmental sectors, providing a ...Read more
Author:Srinivasu, VVDate:Jan 2008RF electrodynamics, particularly, the low field rf absorption in small superconducting and manganite particles is reviewed and compared with their respective bulk counterparts. Experimental and theoretical aspects of the small particle ...Read more
Author:Roro, Kittessa T; Tile, N; Mwakikunga, Bonex W; Yalisi, B; Forbes, ADate:May 2012Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/nickel oxide (NiO) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by a sol–gel process and coated on an aluminium substrate. The MWCNTs were chemically functionalized and then added into NiO alcogels, and magnetic ...Read more
Author:Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Coville, NJ; Olivier, JE; Scriba, Manfred RDate:2014Microwave-irradiation (MW) synthesis of nanostructured materials provides for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, using fast and uniform heating rates. This procedure affords better control of the shape and size of the nanoparticles when ...Read more
