Intermolecular Forces03:13

Intermolecular Forces

69.0K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Cohesion01:07

Cohesion

58.2K
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.0K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Water-lean solvents are crucial for point source carbon dioxide (CO2) capture.
  • N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine (2-EEMPA) shows promise due to CO2-dependent tetramer formation.
  • Understanding structural changes at varying CO2 loadings is key to solvent design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the nanoscale structural evolution of 2-EEMPA with increasing CO2 loading.
  • To correlate structural changes with solvent properties and CO2 capture efficiency.
  • To provide quantitative structural data for modeling and designing improved CO2 capture solvents.

Main Methods:

  • Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) to analyze nanoscale clusters from 0 to 42 mol % CO2 and -17 to 90 °C.
  • Computational modeling and experimental data for solvent density and cluster correlations.
  • Teubner-Strey model for microphase separation analysis.
  • Scattering and molecular dynamics for structure factor analysis.

Main Results:

  • Nanoscale cluster size (ξ) and periodicity (d) of CO2-bound 2-EEMPA grow with CO2 concentration.
  • Experimentally determined values reached ξ = 5.0 Å and d = 11.6 Å.
  • Results align with computational simulation data.
  • Detailed structural changes were observed across varying CO2 conditions.

Conclusions:

  • CO2 loading significantly impacts the nanoscale structure of 2-EEMPA.
  • The observed growth in cluster size and periodicity is directly linked to CO2 capture.
  • These structural insights are vital for optimizing the performance of CO2 capture solvents.
