This study combines static (density functional theory) and dynamic (molecular dynamics) computational methods to examine amino-acid ionic liquids as catalysts for capturing CO₂. It probes how these designable liquid salts bind and convert carbon dioxide at the molecular level. The aim is more efficient materials for carbon capture as part of emissions-reduction efforts.
