Description
Nuria Aguilar and four co-authors model a plant-based liquid that could trap carbon dioxide in a 2026 study. The liquid mixes two natural compounds and resists water. Such solvents may offer a greener way to pull the gas from exhaust streams.
The team combined three levels of computer modeling to study the liquid. Strong hydrogen bonds form a stable network inside it. Open nonpolar pockets sit beside that network and give gas molecules room to settle. Simulations show the gas first gathers at the surface, then drifts into the bulk. In a test with mixed flue gas, the liquid strongly favored carbon dioxide over other gases.
