Adsorption of NH3 and NO2 molecules on sn-doped and undoped ZnO (101) surfaces using density functional theory

Author: Dima, Ratshilumela S ; Tshwane, David M ; Shingange, Katekani ; Modiba, Rosinah ; Maluta, NE ; Maphanga, Rapela R Date: 2022 The adsorption and interaction mechanisms of gaseous molecules on ZnO surfaces have received considerable attention because of their technological applications in gas sensing. The adsorption behavior of NH3 and NO2 molecules on undoped and ... Read more
Colour tuning from violet to blue emission stimulated by various nickel oxide nanostructures: Influence of bias voltage towards volatile organic compounds vapours

Author: Mokoena, Teboho P ; Swart, HC ; Hillie, Kenneth T ; Motaung, DE Date: Mar 2021 Propanol and benzene, toluene, ethylenebenzene and xylene (BTEX) vapours are within the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) family and are utilized in industrial and petroleum goods, are greatly toxic in human health and environment. Therefore, ... Read more
A comprehensive comparison study on magnetic behaviour, defects-related emission and Ni substitution to clarify the origin of enhanced acetone detection capabilities

Author: Nemufulwi, Murendeni I ; Swart, HC ; Mhlongo, Gugu H Date: Jul 2021 In this work, nickel (Ni) substituted zinc ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) with formula NixZn1- xFe2O4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.4) were synthesized using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. We further evaluated the effects of Ni substitution on ... Read more
Esterified cellulose nanofibres from saw dust using vegetable oil

Author: Mokoena, Teboho P ; Mathew, Maya J Date: Apr 2020 In this work, cellulose nanofibres (CNFs) were extracted from sawdust, which is an underutilized by-product from the wood and timber industry. The extracted CNFs by chemical and mechanical treatments had a web-like structure with diameters ... Read more
