地球温暖化の抑制には、二酸化炭素(CO2)の捕獲、貯蔵、利用方法の発見が急務です。石炭火力発電所や製紙工場などの排出源からCO2分子を効率的に捕捉するための液体キャプチャ剤が開発されています。最近の研究では、従来よりも有望なキャプチャ剤が見つかり、その潜在的なCO2吸収量が以前の見積もりの2倍であることが明らかになりました。これにより、大気中のCO2をより効果的に除去し、気候変動への対処が可能になる可能性があります。

Abstract

Carbon capture, utilization and storage is a key yet cost-intensive technology for the fight against climate change. Single-component water-lean solvents have emerged as promising materials for post-combustion CO2 capture, but little is known regarding their mechanism of action. Here we present a combined experimental and modelling study of single-component water-lean solvents, and we find that CO2 capture is accompanied by the self-assembly of reverse-micelle-like tetrameric clusters in solution. This spontaneous aggregation leads to stepwise cooperative capture phenomena with highly contrasting mechanistic and thermodynamic features. The emergence of well-defined supramolecular architectures displaying a hydrogen-bonded internal core, reminiscent of enzymatic active sites, enables the formation of CO2-containing molecular species such as carbamic acid, carbamic anhydride and alkoxy carbamic anhydrides. This system extends the scope of adducts and mechanisms observed during carbon capture. It opens the way to materials with a higher CO2 storage capacity and provides a means for carbamates to potentially act as initiators for future oligomerization or polymerization of CO2.
