Summary: The solid/CO2 interfacial tension in caprocks is highly dependent on total organic carbon (TOC) percentage, pressure, and quartz content. A higher percentage of TOC and quartz increases the hydrophobic sites available in the sample, allowing stronger affinity towards CO2. Lower interfacial tension implies a stronger affinity of CO2 towards caprock surface, increasing the chance of CO2 entering through caprocks and causing leakage.

Summary: The covalent attachment of 3- or 4-hydroxy benzene to the 1,3-dimethylimidazolium cation results in zwitterions, which can chemisorb and physisorb carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions. These zwitterionic solutions have low enthalpy of absorption, high adsorption capacity, and can be recycled multiple times.

Summary: This study calculated the interfacial tension parameters between clay and gas as well as clay and brine at different temperatures and pressures. The results showed that the interfacial tension between clay and hydrogen gas was higher than that between clay and nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide gas under similar thermodynamic conditions. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between clay/gas interfacial tension and gas density, which could be a useful tool for estimating rock/fluid interfacial tension quickly.

Summary: Basaltic rocks are considered as suitable and safe candidates for storing CO2 in mineralized form, which can reduce CO2 leakage in rocks. Research findings suggest that interfacial tension and wettability between CO2 and basalt rocks play essential roles in CO2 storage, with pressure and temperature affecting CO2 sealing capacity.

Summary: Heterojunction engineering has been employed to improve the charge separation and photocatalytic activity of semiconductor photocatalysts. In this study, a series of covalently linked homologous photocatalysts were fabricated and tested for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. The NiO(1 1 1)/Ni-BDC-3 catalyst exhibited the best performance, attributed to enhanced interfacial charge transfer and electron supply.

Summary: The interfacial tension between water and organic liquids plays a crucial role in various processes. In this study, a new molecular thermodynamic approach was developed to predict the interfacial tension accurately. It was found that the excess interface entropy has a significant contribution to the total interfacial energy in water-organic liquid systems, while it can be neglected in mercury-nonmetallic liquid systems.

Summary: The study analyzes the interfacial tension, fluid mixture densities and drop volumes of TEG and TEG + water in CO(2) medium. The static interfacial tension of TEG-CO2 and TEG + water-CO2 shows a decreasing trend as the pressure increases, but it strongly increases with higher temperatures. Dynamic interfacial tension reaches a constant value after a certain time, and the drop volume increases with a volumetric expansion. Static values of interfacial tension can be applied with reasonable precision for process design.

Summary: A novel electrochemically mediated direct air capture (DAC) system using quinone-based chemistry for CO2 capture and release is reported. The system relies solely on the affinity of quinone moieties towards CO2 molecules, without requiring temperature or pH swing. The performance of the system is evaluated with small- and meso-scale cells, demonstrating high CO2 capture efficiency and low energy consumption.

Summary: Amphiphilic Janus nanosheets spontaneously aggregate at the oil-water interface and exhibit unique mechanical responses under vertical pressure. The morphology of the assembled particle film is controlled by nanosheet concentration, probe wettability, and interface density. The presence of these nanosheets reduces stiffness and enhances flexibility and deformability, resulting in larger deformation under smaller vertical stress.
