Underpotential deposition of SnBi thin films for sodium ion batteries: The effect of deposition potential and Sn concentration
(Elsevier, 2019)Bimetallic SnBi film was deposited on a Cu foil substrate via the electrochemical atomic layer deposition (E-ALD) technique. The deposition attainment of Sn and Bi were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and ... -
An unusual 2,3-secotaraxerene and other cytotoxic triterpenoids from pleiocarpa pycnantha (apocynaceae) leaves collected from Nigeria
(MDPI, 2014)Three known triterpenoids, namely ursolic acid (1), and the 27-E- and 27-Z-pcoumaric esters of ursolic acid (compounds 2, 3), were isolated together with a new triterpene 2,3-seco-taraxer-14-en-2,3-lactone [pycanocarpine ... -
Use of coal fly ash as a catalyst in the production of biodiesel
(Slovnaft VÚRUP, 2010)South Africa is largely dependent on the combustion of coal for electricity production; Eskom’s coalfired power stations consume approximately 109 million tons of coal per annum, producing around 25 million tons of ash, ... -
Voltammetric and spectroscopic determination of rare earth elements in fresh and surface water samples
(MDPI, 2018)The increasing demand for rare earth elements in green technology, electronic components, petroleum refining, and agricultural activities has resulted in their scattering and accumulation in the environment. This study ... -
Waste minimization protocols for the process of synthesizing zeolites from South African coal fly ash
(MDPI, 2013)Production of a high value zeolite from fly ash has been shown to be an avenue for the utilization of South African fly ash which presently constitutes a huge disposal problem. The synthesis of zeolites Na-P1 and analcime ... -
Wood-derived, monolithic chainmail electrocatalyst for biomass-assisted hydrogen production
(Wiley, 2023)The chainmail catalyst by encapsulating an active species within the carbon support is a well-established concept to endorse extraordinary stability for catalytic reactions under harsh conditions. Conventional chainmail ... -
Zinc(ii) complex of (Z)-4-((4-Nitrophenyl)Amino)Pent-3-en-2-one, a potential antimicrobial agent: synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial screening, DFT calculation and docking study
(Chemical Society of Ethiopia, 2023)Herein, the synthesis and characterizations of (Z)-4-((4-nitrophenyl)amino)pent-3-en-2-one (HL) ligand and its Zn(II) complex are reported. The compounds were characterized using elemental and thermogravimetric (TGA) ...
