Evaluation of Aliphatic Alcohols for CO Capture Using the Characteristic Carbonate Frequency.

Control over CO capture and utilization are important scientific and technological challenges. Although a variety of amine absorbents are used for capture, releasing the captured CO is often difficult and limits their recyclability. Therefore, it is crucial to control the strength of the CO bond with the absorbent.

Photoinduced Carbon Dioxide Release via a Metastable Photoacid in a Nonaqueous Environment.

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO) from the atmosphere is a scientific and technological challenge. CO can be captured by forming carbamate bonds with amines, most notably monoethanolamine (MEA). Regenerating MEA by releasing captured CO requires that the carbamate solution be heated.
