Abstract

Carbon dioxide capture technology, while established, faces operational and economic challenges with current absorbents. Ionic liquids (ILs), though promising for their selectivity and low volatility, often have drawbacks like high toxicity and viscosity. This study explores nonionic low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) of menthol (MET) and polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG200) at various ratios for CO2 uptake. The 1:2 molar ratio showed maximum CO2 loading of 0.599 mol CO2/mol solvent at 303.15 K and 1000 kPa, with water addition boosting CO2 uptake by 25%. This rise in uptake with water could be due to altered hydrogen bonding within the mixture constituents. Molecular dynamics simulations support these findings, indicating experimental results, showing that water disrupts hydrogen bonds, exposing hydroxyl and ether sites for CO2 interaction. This LTTM solvent system presents a promising, low‐toxicity alternative for efficient CO2 capture. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
