Ionic Liquids: Versatile Materials for Modern Applications
Ionic liquids (ILs) are ion-based materials that remain liquid below 100 °C, offering unique properties like low vapor pressure, thermal stability, and tunable chemistry. This review explores their structure–property relationships, behavior in various environments, and practical…
Enzyme/Deep Eutectic Solvent Enhanced Kraft Pulping to Reduce Its Carbon Intensity
The goal of this proposed project is to develop technologies that can utilize enzymes and deep eutectic solvents (DES) to enhance the kraft pulping process to reduce chemical consumption and thermal energy while increasing pulp…
Novel Solvents for Biomass Treatment in Pulp and Paper Industries
This awarded Faculty Research and Creative Activities Award (FRACAA) project proposes a systemic approach to developing nature-based deep eutectic solvents (NADES) to establish proof of concept on the design of environmentally friendly novel biomass delignification…
Nanoscopic study on carvone-terpene based natural deep eutectic solvents
Terpene-based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) formed by using carvone as the hydrogen bond acceptor and a series of organic acids including tartaric, succinic, malic, and lactic acids as hydrogen bond donors are studied using…
Molecular dynamics study on the use of Deep Eutectic Solvents for Enhanced Oil Recovery
The suitability of using Deep Eutectic Solvents for chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery operations is analyzed from the nanoscopic viewpoint using classical molecular dynamics simulations. Four different eutectics were considered based on Choline Chloride, as hydrogen…
On the behavior of quercetin + organic solvent solutions and their role for C60 fullerene solubilization
The nature of flavonoids in polar organic solvents solutions is studied using classical molecular dynamics simulations considering quercetin as an archetypical flavonoid and acetone, dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide as representatives of solvents with different polarity.…
Enabling Advanced Electrode Architecture through Printing Technique
This project is on seeking ways to create more cost-effective, fast-charging and high-energy lithium-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles and other consumer products such as drones and portable devices.
