Figure 2. CO2 capture performance of studied deep eutectic solvents (DES) systems and comparison to their constituents. (a) ChCl:La + COz, (b) Be:La + COo, (c) Al:La + CO, (d) Al:Ma + CO>. in comparison to La + CO» case (Figure 2c). For A:MA + COy case, it has a similar trend with ChCl:La + COz and the NADES + CO, trend overlaps again with the HBA trend (Figure 2d), with the exception of a slight departure of NADES towards higher performance at pressures higher than 35 bars However, for the case of Al:La + CO3, there is a distinct segregation of HBA+CO 7, HBD+COy) and NADES+CO) trends (Figure 2c). In this specific case, pressures above 10 bars, CO capture performance trend was observed as La + CO? > NADES + CQ > Al + COz, or in other words HBD + CO2 > NADES + CO > HBA + CO,. Maximum solubility performances were obtained via the highest achieved experimental pressure at 50 bars, reported in Table 2. For all cases, except for Be:La + CO> (Figure 2b), HBA experimental sorption performances was superior than that of HBD, which was also mentioned by D.O. Abranchesn et al. (that Be possess weak interaction with itself, but act as excellent HBA) [66] ChCl+CO, showed the best performance with 4.96 mmol CO /g, whereas Al + CO, showed the worst capture performance with 3.86 mmol CO>/g. In the case of Be:La + CO2, the NADES + CO, profile was observed to be lower than its constituents (Be and La), which can be explained due to the negative excess volume that was created via mixing the HBA and HBD [67]. Likewise, in the case of Al:Ma + CO», the NADES profile was observed to be higher than its HBA and HBD, which is a sign of positive excess volume when Al and Ma was mixed to form NADES.

Experimental CO) sorption performance of NADES samples were reported in a previous study, in which the contactless magnetic suspension gravimetric method was used for high-pressure gas absorption-desorption measurements via Rubotherm apparatus. A magnetic suspension apparatus that is equipped with an automated syringe pump was used to conduct both low- and high-pressure gas experiments. In a typical procedure, a few ml of sample is placed in a measurement chamber and it is evacuated overnight at temperatures around 70 °C. Once the material preparation is complete, then solubility measurements take place in the apparatus, starting from the lower pressures toward higher pressures, with stepwise gradual pressure increments. It takes about 60 min to establish equilibrium thermal in between each pressure increment. Once the highest pressure is measured, then few pressure points are re-experimented during the desorption period, in order to observe whether hysteresis occurs during the reversed conditions. The described method was used to obtain HBA + CO, and HBD + CO, sorption performances in this work, and further details of the measurement technique, calibration, and overall uncertainty can be obtained elsewhere [53].

At a low-pressure side (p < 5bars), there is no distinct effect observed on the sorption performance and the data are clustered around ~0.3 mmol CO>,/g sorbent. As the pressure is increased to moderate to high pressures, there is a clear separation between ChCl + CO2, Be + CO? (~4.95 mmol CO2/g) cases in comparison to Al + CO2, La + COo, Ma + COz, Ca + CO? (~3.77 mmol CO>/g) cases. However, Fr + CO? falls in between of the trend of these two groups at high pressures yielding 4.45 mmol CO /g performance.

This leads to the hydrogen-bonding force of DES and improved solvent properties. This phenomenon is also observed in this work when the molecular structures of ChCl, Be, and Al are considered, and t heir CO? sorption capacities are examined in Figure $1.

Table 2. Gas sorption data and binding energies ranking. As clearly reported in Table 1, the CO capture performance of NADES is lower in comparison to ole HBA and HBD cases, for most of the studied cases. When the melting point of the studied HBA and IBD are considered, they are solid in room temperatures, and even at elevated process temperatures, it which typical pre- and post-combustion CO capture operations take place. However, the NADES compounds exist in liquid phase at mentioned temperatures, thus, making their processability much asier than their constituents. One of the main objectives of considering solvents for CO? capture is to be ble to utilize existing infrastructures that were built with the consideration of current-state-of-the-art apture agents (e.g., monoethanolamine-based solvents), with minimum retrofitting requirements on he equipment infrastructure.

Table 4. Cont. Once the binding energy results are deeply analyzed, HBA > HBD trend is observed for CO? interactions, which is similar to the experimental behavior CO, sorption performance in HBA/HBD. The only exception was observed in Be + CO and La + CO) comparisons, for which the binding energy is higher for HBD + CO, than HBA + CO) case. There is no particular correlation between the maximum sorption amount and the binding energy for the NADES + CO, cases. On the other hand, the maximum sorption amounts and the binding energies for both HBD and HBA follows the same rank. In other words, it was observed that as the binding energy for CO) increases, the CO. sorption performance also increases for both HBD and HBA cases.

The experimental values for the CO? solubility in NADES can be ranked as ChCl:La > Al:La ~ ChCl:Ma > Be:La > Al:La. Whereas the binding energies that are calculated via DFT simulations for CO) are ranked as ChCl:Fr > ChCl:La ~ ChCl:Ma > Be:La > Al:La. These two comparisons do not overlap with each other.
