Cation Effects on Pre-Reactive CO2 Accessibility and Interfacial Transfer in Aqueous Glycinate Solutions via Molecular Dynamics.
Alkali-metal amino acid solutions are attractive liquid sorbents for carbon capture. Potassium glycinate shows more favorable CO2 capture behavior than sodium and lithium analogues despite sharing the same reactive amine motif. However, the molecular origin of this countercation effect remains unresolved. Here, we use...
