Title: Insights into the Enhanced Oxidative Thermal Stability of Nanoparticle Organic Hybrid Materials Developed for Carbon Capture and Energy Storage

Journal Article · · Energy and Fuels

Due to the growing need for Direct Air Capture (DAC) and integrated carbon capture and conversion technologies, CO2 capture materials that can withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, including fluctuating ambient temperatures and high concentrations of oxidizing agents (i.e., oxygen and moisture), are critically needed. Liquid-like Nanoparticle Organic Hybrid Materials (NOHMs) have been proposed as candidates for DAC and electrolyte additives enabling sustainable energy storage (i.e., integrated CO2 capture and conversion and flow batteries). Liquid-like NOHMs functionalized with an ionic bond have been shown to display greatly enhanced oxidative thermal stability compared to the untethered polymer. However, these studies were limited in terms of reaction conditions and the detailed mechanisms of the oxidative thermal degradation were not reported. In this work, a kinetic thermal degradation analysis was performed on NOHM-I-HPE and the neat polymer, Jeffamine M2070 (HPE), in both non-oxidative and oxidative conditions. NOHM-I-HPE displayed similar thermal stability to the untethered polymer in a nitrogen environment, but interestingly, the thermal stability of the ionically tethered polymer was significantly enhanced in the presence of air. This observed enhancement of oxidative thermal stability is attributed to the orders of magnitude larger viscosity of the liquid-like NOHMs compared to untethered polymer and the bond stabilization of the ionically tethered polymer in the NOHMs canopy. Further, spectroscopic analyses of the liquid residue revealed that in the presence of oxygen, the degradation of HPE and NOHM-I-HPE occurs through the formation of trace amounts of carbonyls. This study illustrated that NOHMs can serve as functional materials for sustainable energy storage applications because of their excellent oxidative thermal stability.
