The North-West University (NWU) has pioneered the novel use of Europium-Tellurium-Oxide (ETO) in the production of clean energy. ETO is a light-chargeable catalyst material that exhibits sustained and enhanced activity after light excitation has ended. Its unique characteristics present an

Sol-gel Long Lasting Power These long-lasting and significantly safer batteries are novel because of their sol-gel base. A uniform carbon coating process produces high-performance lithium-ion batteries. This method makes use of organic phosphoric acid as carbon and phosphoric sources to produce

This invention relates to an alternate oxidant for a delay composition, and more particularly to a delay composition including a fuel and an oxidant in the form of antimony hexitatridecoxide having the formula Sb6O13. The invention also relates to the use of antimony hexitatridecoxides as an oxidant

SUNSPOT is a solar thermal power plant with rock-bed storage, containing a unique set of patented and individually licensable Stellenbosch University technologies. The SUNSPOT cycle is appropriate and efficient for generating, storing and deploying solar power in arid regions.

MagneGen™ is a breakthrough low-cost energy generation system that converts thermal energy into electrical energy using the magnetic relaxation effect in repurposed magnetron magnets—commonly sourced from discarded microwave ovens and other household appliances. The system harnesses the unique

This process is used for generating hydrogen by providing a hydrogen chemical carrier in the presence of an active catalyst in a reactor vessel and elevating the temperature inside the reactor by electromagnetic process to allow a dehydrogenation reaction to generate hydrogen. The active catalyst is

The technology uses a clear polymer film embedded with luminescent compounds that absorb high-energy UV light and re-emit it as blue light, which solar cells can convert more efficiently into electricity. This film works with all types of solar panels and can be applied to existing installations
