    阳离子结构调控胺类离子液体吸收CO2:实验与分子模拟

    Experimental and molecular dynamics simulation study on CO2 capture by amine-based ionic liquids with varied cation structures

    • 摘要: 现有研究中的胺类离子液体多为非质子型(制备工艺复杂)、单氨基或直链结构,普遍存在低温流动性差、黏度偏高的问题,会对CO2的吸收产生不利影响。本研究旨在探究ILs阳离子结构对CO2吸收性能的影响,设计并合成了三种胺类功能化质子型ILs(Protic ionic liquids, PILs),其阳离子分别为质子化的正己胺(HHexam)、2-乙基己胺(HEtHexam)和2-乙基己基乙二胺(HEtHexen),阴离子均为双(三氟甲基磺酰)亚胺(TFSA)。这三种PILs可通过一步酸碱中和反应制备,合成工艺简便;且HEtHexenTFSA结构中具有螯合胺基团,更有利于CO2等酸性气体的吸收。本研究通过实验与分子动力学(MD)模拟相结合的方法,系统研究了阳离子结构中引入乙基支链、增加氨基数目对PILs吸收CO2能力的影响。实验结果表明,在25 ℃、常压条件下,阳离子结构中具有乙二胺和乙基支链的HEtHexenTFSA吸收量最高,达0.85 mol CO2 / mol PIL,优于单胺型HEtHexamTFSA ( 0.68)和HHexamTFSA(0.17)。MD模拟进一步从微观层面揭示了其优异性能的机制:径向分布函数与数密度分析表明CO2在HEtHexenTFSA中分布更集中;相互作用能分析显示其与CO2结合更强;均方位移与扩散系数则反映了吸收过程中CO2的迁移行为差异。本研究通过阳离子支链与氨基数量协同调控,实现了CO2的高效捕集,可为工业含碳烟气的高效、低能耗处理提供新型吸收介质与理论支撑。

       

      Abstract: Most of the reported amine-based ionic liquids are aprotic (with complex preparation processes) and future straight side chain structures. which They generally suffer from poor low-temperature fluidity and high viscosity, which adversely affect CO2 adsorption. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation and absorption experiment were performed to investigate CO2 capture using protic ionic liquids (PILs) composed of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (TFSA) anion paired with three cations n-hexylammonium (HHexam), 2-ethylhexylammonium (HEtHexam), and 2-ethylhexylethylenediaminium (HEtHexen). These three types of PILs can be prepared via a one-step acid-base neutralization reaction, featuring a simple synthesis process. Additionally, HEtHexenTFSA contain chelating amine groups, which further facilitate the absorption of acidic gases such as CO2. The results demonstrate that introducing ethyl group into the cation side chains and increasing the number of amine groups significantly enhance CO2 absorption efficiency. Among these PILs, HEtHexenTFSA exhibited the highest CO2 absorption capacity, it reaching 0.85 mol CO2 per mol PIL at 25 ℃ and 1 atm, greater than monoamine-type HEtHexamTFSA (0.68) and HHexamTFSA (0.17). Analysis of radial distribution function, mean squared displacement, and interaction energy confirmed the superior performance of HEtHexenTFSA across different temperatures. This study achieves efficient CO2 capture through the synergistic regulation of cationic branches and the number of amine groups, which can provide novel absorbents and theoretical support for the efficient and low-energy-consumption treatment of industrial carbon-containing flue gas.
