Author:Fuku, Xolile G; Modibedi, Remegia M; Mkhohlakali, Andile; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:Aug 2021The co-existence of metal oxides (MO) and activated carbon (AC) causes changes in the catalytic behaviour and activity which would contribute greatly to a number of applications. Pd–AC/Bi2O3/CuO synthesized via the green process was used as ...Read more
Author:Khotseng, L; Bangisa, A; Modibedi, Remegia M; Linkov, VDate:Jan 2016Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), TiO(sub2), MoO(sub2), and carbon black Vulcan XC-72 were investigated as supports for PtRu and PtSn catalysts. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that all electrocatalysts examined display characteristic ...Read more
