Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have tremendous potential for reactive capture and conversion (RCC) of CO2 due to their wide electrochemical stability window, low volatility, and high CO2 solubility. There is environmental and economic interest in the direct utilization of the captured CO2 using electrified and modular processes that forgo the thermal- or pressure-swing regeneration steps to concentrate CO2, eliminating the need to compress, transport, or store the gas. The conventional electrochemical conversion of CO2 with aqueous electrolytes presents limited CO2 solubility and high energy requirement to achieve industrially relevant products. Additionally, aqueous systems have competitive hydrogen evolution. In the past decade, there has been significant progress toward the design of ILs and DESs, and their composites to separate CO2 from dilute streams. In parallel, but not necessarily in synergy, there have been studies focused on a few select ILs and DESs for electrochemical reduction of CO2, often diluting them with aqueous or non-aqueous solvents. The resulting electrode-electrolyte interfaces present a complex speciation for RCC. In this review, we describe how the ILs and DESs are tuned for RCC and specifically address the CO2 chemisorption and electroreduction mechanisms. Critical bulk and interfacial properties of ILs and DESs are discussed in the context of RCC, and the potential of these electrolytes are presented through a techno-economic evaluation.

ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING 2024; 12:7882-7893. [PMID: 38783843 PMCID: PMC11110104 DOI: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.4c01265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Herein we address the efficiency of the CO2 sorption of ionic liquids (IL) with hydrogen bond donors (e.g., glycols) added as viscosity modifiers and the impact of encapsulating them to limit sorbent evaporation under conditions for the direct air capture of CO2. Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, and diethylene glycol were added to three different ILs: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium 2-cyanopyrrolide ([EMIM][2-CNpyr]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMIM][BF4]), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]). Incorporation of the glycols decreased viscosity by an average of 51% compared to bulk IL. After encapsulation of the liquid mixtures using a soft template approach, thermogravimetric analysis revealed average reductions in volatility of 36 and 40% compared to the unencapsulated liquid mixtures, based on 1 h isothermal experiments at 25 and 55 °C, respectively. The encapsulated mixtures of [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/1,3-propanediol and [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/diethylene glycol exhibited the lowest volatility (0.0019 and 0.0002 mmol/h at 25 °C, respectively) and were further evaluated as CO2 absorption/desorption materials. Based on the capacity determined from breakthrough measurements, [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/1,3-propanediol had a lower transport limited absorption rate for CO2 sorption compared to [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/diethylene glycol with 0.08 and 0.03 mol CO2/kg sorbent, respectively; however, [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/diethylene glycol capsules exhibited higher absorptions capacity at ∼500 ppm of CO2 (0.66 compared to 0.47 mol of CO2/kg sorbent for [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/1,3-propanediol). These results show that glycols can be used to not only reduce IL viscosity while increasing physisorption sites for CO2 sorption, but also that encapsulation can be utilized to mitigate evaporation of volatile viscosity modifiers.

Abstract
The current energy system is based largely on fossil fuels that emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and contribute to global climate change. Global energy demand is expected to increase, with growth approximately doubled by the year 2050 and tripled by the end of the century. Therefore, research and development on emissions management and carbon cycle solutions that meet energy sustainability is critical to reduce the effects of global warming. The key point of this literature review is the selection of suitable materials for carbon capture. The selection is based on the consideration that the CO2 reduction properties are influenced by the type of material/composite that is being used, the preparation, and the possible characterization method. This Review covers graphene-based materials and their composites as appropriate materials for reducing CO2 and their performance assessment through experiments and theoretical analysis. It is very important to improve the efficiency performance of materials and its scalability. Recently, graphene has become a widely used material for environmental applications, one of which shows good performance in reducing CO2 concentration. To separate CO2, graphene has been developed and is now being showcased and reviewed in this study. Given the measuring technique used, this Review is intended to be a valuable resource for individuals researching CO2 separation employing graphene material in combination with other materials.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered functional electrolytes for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 (ECO2R) due to their role in the double-layer structure formation and increased CO2 availability at the electrode surface, which reduces the voltage requirement. However, not all ILs are the same, considering the purity and degree of the functionality of the IL. Further, there are critical experimental factors that impact the evaluation of ILs for ECO2R including the reference electrode, working electrode construction, cosolvent selection, cell geometry, and whether the electrochemical cell is a single compartment or a divided cell. Here, we describe improved synthesis methods of imidazolium cyanopyrrolide IL for electrochemical studies in consideration of precursor composition and reaction time. We explored how IL with cosolvents (i.e. acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, propylene carbonate, and n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) affects conductivity, CO2 mass transport, and ECO2R activation overpotential together with the effects of electrode materials (Sn, Ag, Au, and glassy carbon). Acetonitrile was found to be the best solvent for lowering the onset potential and increasing the catalytic current density for the production of CO owing to the enhanced ion mobility in combination with the silver electrode. Further, the ECO2R activity of molecular catalysts Ni(cyclam)Cl2 and iron tetraphenylsulfonato porphyrin (FeTPPS) on the carbon cloth electrode maintained high Faradaic efficiencies for CO in the presence of the IL. This study presents best practices for examining nontraditional multifunctional electrolytes amenable to integrated CO2 capture and conversion technologies for homogeneous and heterogeneous ECO2R.

Abstract
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gases is a crucial step towards reducing CO2 emissions. Among the various carbon capture methods, facilitated transport membranes (FTMs) have emerged as a promising technology for CO2 capture owing to their high efficiency and low energy consumption in separating CO2. However, FTMs still face the challenge of losing mobile carriers due to weak interaction between the carriers and membrane matrix. Herein, we report a sulfonated chitosan (SCS) gel membrane with confined amine carriers for effective CO2 capture. In this structure, diethylenetriamine (DETA) as a CO2-mobile carrier is confined within the SCS gel membrane via electrostatic forces, which can react reversibly with CO2 and thus greatly facilitate its transport. The SCS ion gel membrane allows for the fast diffusion of amine carriers within it while blocking the diffusion of nonreactive gases, like N2. Thus, the prepared membrane exhibits exceptional CO2 separation capabilities when tested under simulated flue gas conditions with CO2 permeance of 1155 GPU and an ultra-high CO2/N2 selectivity of above 550. Moreover, the membrane retains a stable separation performance during the 170 h continuous test. The excellent CO2 separation performance demonstrates the high potential of gel membranes for CO2 capture from flue gas.

Abstract
Direct air capture (DAC) is an emerging negative CO2 emission technology that aims to introduce a feasible method for CO2 capture from the atmosphere. Unlike carbon capture from point sources, which deals with flue gas at high CO2 concentrations, carbon capture directly from the atmosphere has proved difficult due to the low CO2 concentration in ambient air. Current DAC technologies mainly consider sorbent-based systems; however, membrane technology can be considered a promising DAC approach since it provides several advantages, e.g., lower energy and operational costs, less environmental footprint, and more potential for small-scale ubiquitous installations. Several recent advancements in validating the feasibility of highly permeable gas separation membrane fabrication and system design show that membrane-based direct air capture (m-DAC) could be a complementary approach to sorbent-based DAC, e.g., as part of a hybrid system design that incorporates other DAC technologies (e.g., solvent or sorbent-based DAC). In this article, the ongoing research and DAC application attempts via membrane separation have been reviewed. The reported membrane materials that could potentially be used for m-DAC are summarized. In addition, the future direction of m-DAC development is discussed, which could provide perspective and encourage new researchers' further work in the field of m-DAC.

Abstract
Rubbery polymeric membranes, containing amine carriers, have received much attention in CO2 separation because of their easy fabrication, low cost, and excellent separation performance. The present study focuses on the versatile aspects of covalent conjugation of L-tyrosine (Tyr) onto the high molecular weight chitosan (CS) accomplished by using carbodiimide as a coupling agent for CO2/N2 separation. The fabricated membrane was subjected to FTIR, XRD, TGA, AFM, FESEM, and moisture retention tests to examine the thermal and physicochemical properties. The defect-free dense layer of tyrosine-conjugated-chitosan, with active layer thickness within the range of ~600 nm, was cast and employed for mixed gas (CO2/N2) separation study in the temperature range of 25-115 °C in both dry and swollen conditions and compared to that of a neat CS membrane. An enhancement in the thermal stability and amorphousness was displayed by TGA and XRD spectra, respectively, for the prepared membranes. The fabricated membrane showed reasonably good CO2 permeance of around 103 GPU and CO2/N2 selectivity of 32 by maintaining a sweep/feed moisture flow rate of 0.05/0.03 mL/min, respectively, an operating temperature of 85 °C, and a feed pressure of 32 psi. The composite membrane demonstrated high permeance because of the chemical grafting compared to the bare chitosan. Additionally, the excellent moisture retention capacity of the fabricated membrane accelerates high CO2 uptake by amine carriers, owing to the reversible zwitterion reaction. All the features make this membrane a potential membrane material for CO2 capture.

Abstract
CO2 separations from cabin air and the atmospheric air are challenged by the very low partial pressures of CO2. In this study, a facilitated transport membrane (FTM) is developed to separate CO2 from air using functionalized ionic liquid (IL) and poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) carriers. A highly permeable bicontinuous structured poly(ethersulfone)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (bPES/PET) substrate is used to support the PIL-IL impregnated graphene oxide thin film. The CO2 separation performance was tested under a mixture feed of CO2/N2/O2/H2O. Under 410 ppm of CO2 at 1 atm feed gas, CO2 permanence of 3923 GPU, and CO2/N2 and CO2/O2 selectivities of 1200 and 300, respectively, are achieved with helium sweeping on the permeate side. For increased transmembrane pressure (>0 atm), a thicker PIL-IL/GO layer was shown to provide mechanical strength and prevent leaching of the mobile carrier. CO2 binding to the carriers, ion diffusivities, and the glass transition temperature of the PIL-IL gels were examined to determine the membrane composition and rationalize the superior separation performance obtained. This report represents the first FTM study with PIL-IL carriers for CO2 separation from air.

Abstract
As a ubiquitous family of enzymes with high performance in converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into bicarbonate, carbonic anhydrases (CAs) sparked enormous attention for carbon capture. Nevertheless, the high cost and operational instability of CAs hamper their practical relevance, and the utility of CAs is mainly limited to aqueous applications where CO2-to-bicarbonate conversion is possible. Taking advantage of the chemical motif that endows CA-like active sites (metal-coordinated histidine), here we introduce a new line of high-performance gas separation membranes with CO2-philic behavior. We first self-assembled a histidine-based bolaamphiphile (His-Bola) molecule in the aqueous phase and coordinated the resulting entities with divalent zinc. Optimizing the supramolecular synthesis conditions ensured that the resultant nanoparticles (His-NPs) exhibit high CO2 affinity and catalytic activity. We then exploited the His-NPs as nanofillers to enhance the separation performance of Pebax MH 1657. The hydrogen-bonding interactions allowed the dispersion of His-NPs within the polymer matrix uniformly, as confirmed by microscopic, spectroscopic, and thermal analyses. The imidazole and amine functionalities of His-NPs enhanced the solubility of CO2 molecules in the polymer matrix. The CA-mimic active sites of His-NPs nanozymes, on the other hand, catalyzed the reversible hydration of CO2 molecules in humid conditions, facilitating their transport across the membranes. The resulting nanocomposite membranes displayed excellent CO2 separation performance, with a high level of stability. At a filling ratio as low as 3 wt %, we achieved a CO2 permeability of >145 Barrer and a CO2/N2 selectivity of >95 with retained performance under humid continuous gas feeds. The bio-inspired approach presented in this work offers a promising platform for designing durable and highly selective CO2 capture membranes.
