Direct transesterification of microalgae biomass and biodiesel refining with vacuum distillation
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of vacuum distillation to increase fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content and quality of microalgae biodiesel produced through direct transesterification was investigated.
Development of dye-sensitized solar cells based on naturally extracted dye from the maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis)
TL;DR: In this article, a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was investigated for their conversion efficiency using anthocyanin-enriched extracts from maqui berry, which to date has never been tested in a DSSC.
