CO2-triggered switchable solvents, surfactants, and other materials

Jessop, Philip G., Mercer, Sean M., Heldebrant, David J.·2012·Energy & Environmental Science

Abstract

Waste CO2 at atmospheric pressure can be used to trigger dramatic changes in the properties of certain switchable materials. Compared to other triggers such as light, acids and oxidants, CO2 has the advantages that it is inexpensive, nonhazardous, non-accumulating in the system, easily removed, and it does not require the material to be transparent. Known CO2-triggered switchable materials now include solvents, surfactants, solutes, catalysts, particles, polymers, and gels. These have also been described as “smart” materials or, for some of the switchable solvents, “reversible ionic liquids”. The added flexibility of switchable materials represents a new strategy for minimizing energy and material consumption in process and product design.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
