Characterization of heterogeneous solvent structure in a carbon capture fluid

DOI

We propose to use neutron scattering experiments to gain molecular level insight into an intriguing liquid structure observed in a water-free CO2-capture solvent. Switchable ionic liquids (SWILs) are a promising class of CO2-separating solvents that entail an intrinsic heterogeneous, micro-domain solvent structure that changes size, shape and orientation of both molecular and ionic domains as a function of CO2 loading. We aim to study interesting chemistry and controlling principles to determine how these gradient changes in molecular structure impacts CO2 chemisorption and diffusion of CO2 to and from the liquid.
