This research finds that ionic liquids with larger, softer anions enhance carbon dioxide solubility.
Analysis of void probability distributions shows a strong correlation between anion size and void number in ionic liquids.
Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that carbon dioxide prefers interacting with polar domains, particularly near anions.
The findings imply that optimizing ionic liquid structures can lead to better carbon capture materials.
