Engineered polyionic liquid delivers seven times stronger carbon capture performance

SMRTR summary

Japanese researchers developed a polyionic liquid material that captures CO2 seven times more effectively by using larger counter anions and removing salt impurities from the synthesis process. This discovery could improve industrial carbon capture systems and gas separation membranes by offering a simpler performance-boosting strategy without requiring entirely new materials.
