A Research on Synthesis, Characterization and CO2 Absorptive Character of Pyridinium-based Ionic Liquids

In this work, three kinds of pyridium-based ionic liquids were synthesized as new solvents for CO2 capture. Their physical properties and CO2 absorbing abilities were measured, calculated and analyzed. The cycling abilities and absorbing principle of these liquids were also …

Efficient Stable Perovskite

Perovskite cell is the highest cell efficiency produced to produce energy. Therefore, solving its problems will help in solving the problem of energy around the world. Solving the stability of perovskite using Tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) instead of methylammonium iodide (MAPbl3) …

Fehling’s solution – Do we need a new interpretation?

Fehling’s solution is used in classrooms as an example of a pH-dependent redox reaction. Johannes Waller and Philipp Kessler realised that glucose and fructose react at different speeds and that this phenomenon cannot be explained by their molecular structures. Their …

Saponification of Icelandic Fish Oil

Fish oil is a big part of the Icelandic culture and is used for many health purposes. However, the byproduct of processed fish oil is not consumed and I therefore decided to find one way in which we can use …

Synthesis of arylidene Meldrum’s acids and their reactions

As the world is shifting from fossil fuel to alternative energy sources the total volume of biodiesel produced is increasing. It has caused overproduction of crude glycerol which is the byproduct of biodiesel and is harmful for the environment. The …

Self-made Spectrophotometer

Spectrophotometers can be expensive instruments. By decomposing the standard build of a spectrophotometer, and using only a cellphone camera, a computer and a few affordable parts, an instrument of possibly equal accuracy can be built. This study compares results from …

Production and application of biodegradable plastics

The usage of biologically degradable plastics is a simple step to improve protection of our environment. The goal of our project is to test suitability of many different materials for production of biologically degradable plastics. We also compare their heat, …

Looking for the ideal cocktail for water decontamination: Study on the photocatalytic efficiency of Fe-Ni metal organic materials over the deterioration of organic compounds.

Water pollution caused by various agents including organic compounds is a global problem that is getting worse at an alarming rate. This project was aimed at finding a method to decontaminate water in an efficient and sustainable way by using …
