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 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …

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 …
