CO2 Absorption of DLS and Tin Oxide

Sustainability icon, disabled. A green leaf.

Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) distributes Tin Oxide (SnO2) solution into size particles, making sun absorption more efficient. The project investigates the use of sonification, centrifuge technology, dilutions, and stirring from Brownian motions to find absorption levels of each diluted solution using a UV Spectrometer and other sizing machines. The goal of the research is to reduce carbon footprint by decreasing the use of fossil fuels and air pollution, as well as increasing plant life to increase the production of oxygen, making the Earth healthier.
