Japanse onderzoekers ontwikkelen materiaal dat zeven keer meer CO2 vastlegt

Japanese researchers have developed an engineered polyionic liquid that captures carbon dioxide seven times more effectively than the original material by optimizing the size of its counter anions. The team from Nitto Boseki and Tohoku University removed inorganic salt impurities through purification and tested different anions, finding that larger anions significantly improved CO2 adsorption capacity. This breakthrough could enhance industrial carbon capture systems and gas separation technologies, addressing a major challenge in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
