Research Interests

Prof. Nonhlangabezo Mabuba is a Professor of Analytical Chemistry and the Deputy Director of the Centre for Nanomaterial Science Research (CNSR). Her research focuses development of sustainable water quality monitoring and treatment methods. She applies water quality monitoring methods like electrochemical sensors and biosensors for heavy metals and pharmaceuticals. She also applies nanomaterials for water treatment in adsorption, piezocatalysis and piezoelectrocatalysis for mounting new protocols for wastewater treatment plants and environmental monitoring.
