Biography:
Matumuene Joe Ndolomingo, studied chemistry at UJ (University of Johannesburg-RSA) and obtained his Ph.D. in 2016 under the guidance of Prof. R. Meijboom. Presently, he is a Post- Doctoral fellow at the same University in chemistry department at Prof. Meijboom’s Research Center for Synthesis and Catalysis. His current research interests include the synthesis and development of mesoporous metal oxides supported metal nanoparticles for industrial oxidation and hydrogenation reactions, and development of a simple general approach for the easy determination of the true surface area and particles sizes of a wide range of metal nanoparticles using organothiols as probe ligand.
Title : Quantification of ligand packing density on Cu nanoparticles and determination of nanoparticles surface area and sizes through quantitative ligand adsorption-chemisorption
