We are also in the process of designing and synthesizing even more advanced, functionalized RTILs with specific reactive and/or catalytic groups for CWA and TIC capture. One example is a Lewis-acidic ...

In addition to designing new types of functionalized RTIL molecules, we have also been making ionic polymers based on RTIL building blocks to make solid-state ionic materials with RTIL-like gas ...

In conventional gas power generation, fuel combustion releases carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, along with nitrogen and water vapor. Once emitted, CO₂ mixes with nitrogen from the air ...

At the AIST-JPEC plant, electricity consumption can be reduced by electrolyzing CO2 and water vapor simultaneously to produce a gaseous mixture. The researchers also created a hybrid catalyst ...
