yes, it even makes them last longer.
The mass of a glowstick remains the same when it lights up. The glowstick undergoes a chemical reaction that produces light, but the total mass of the components inside the glowstick does not change.
Putting a glowstick in the freezer will slow down the chemical reaction inside, causing it to dim or stop glowing temporarily. Once the glowstick returns to room temperature, it should glow normally again.
To turn off a glowstick, simply snap and bend it until the contents inside the stick are fully mixed. Once the chemical reaction is complete, the glowstick will stop producing light. If you want to stop the chemical reaction immediately, you can submerge the glowstick in a bowl of hot water.
Chemical lightsticks glow by way of two chemicals; cyalume and hydrogen peroxide. Inside the glowstick is a thin glass tube; inside of that is a chemical known as hydrogen peroxide. Outside of this tube, there is a chemical known as cyalume. When a glowstick is "cracked", the glass tube is broken, and when a glowstick is shaken the two chemicals mix together. These chemicals also activate a die of whatever colour the glowstick may be (pink, white, orange, green, red, etc.), causing the stick to "glow".
A glowstick undergoes a chemical reaction inside the tube which produces light energy. The chemical energy in the reactants is converted into light energy that is visible to us. Heat energy is also released as a byproduct of the reaction.

yeah, just put the glowstick in the freezer, it wont glow as much but it lasts longer!

It was too warm for the ice to refreeze. One the meat had thawed, they did not think it would be safe to refreeze it.
The two main ingredients in a glowstick are hydrogen peroxide and a diphenyl oxalate derivative. When the glowstick is activated, the hydrogen peroxide reacts with the diphenyl oxalate derivative, producing light.
The instructions specifically said not to refreeze the food.We have decided to refreeze you, we do not believe you have showed enough remorse to be allowed back into society.
Yes, the liquid inside a glowstick is typically a combination of hydrogen peroxide and a phenyl oxalate ester. While these chemicals are not considered toxic, it is still advisable to avoid ingesting or coming into direct contact with the contents of a glowstick.
A glowstick undergoes a chemical change when the chemicals inside mix, leading to a reaction that produces light. This change cannot be reversed, as the reaction permanently alters the composition of the chemicals inside the glowstick to create the glowing effect.
can i refreeze mushrooms/
can I refreeze cooked stuffed cabbage
No, never refreeze anything.
