Author:Mohlala, M; Modibedi, Remegia M; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:Nov 2007In polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), platinum is recognized to be the most active metal for methanol oxidation, however there is a strong CO adsorption tendency, which blocks the surface for further methanol adsorption and leads ...Read more
Author:Mkwizu, TS; Modibedi, Remegia M; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:May 2011This work will describe our recent advances in room-temperature, sequential electrochemical deposition (in aqueous media) of nanostructured multimetallic systems of variable composition, and morphologies, directly onto carbon supports such ...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:Makgwane, Peter R; Ray, Suprakas SDate:Jul 2013Highly dispersed, nanosized ruthenium (Ru) particles anchored on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with varying Ru loadings (1–7 wt.%) showed effective catalytic activity in the aerobic oxidation of p-cymene using molecular oxygen. The activity of the ...Read more
