Abstract: Bismuth Oxy-Iodide (BiOI) and BiI3 have recently become of interest for a potential defect-tolerant photovoltaic compound. Specifically, BiOI has been shown experimentally to have recently improved efficiency when used in solar cells. Using quantum mechanics...
Abstract: In recent years, the solar cell efficiency of Perovskites has gone way up. However, Perovskites include lead making them not ideal for commercial use. Rudorffites are similar to Perovskites but do not contain lead, and are starting to be looked into in hope...
Abstract: Polyethyleneimine (PEI) has been shown to be a promising material for Direct Air Capture of Carbon Dioxide and has therefore generated great interest in the sustainability community. Laboratory scale processes include several steps, including mixing, solvent...
Abstract: Exposure to environmental hydroquinones and phenols that are used in certain industrial processes can cause detrimental effects to humans and animals if not disposed properly. It can be difficult to continuously detect these compounds, which makes it hard to...
Abstract: Catalytic hydrogenation of CO_2 is an exciting pathway for alternative fuel sources. Previous research has proven ruthenium phosphine complexes to be catalytically active in the hydrogenation of CO_2 into methanol. However, it is not easy to recover the...
Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects over 6.2 million Americans, which has almost doubled from 2000, pushing the disease to be the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. There is an interest in identifying new inhibitors for...
