Abstract
Abstract The present study focused on CO 2 capture, storage, and conversion through the innovative integration of plasma–ionic liquid (IL) technology. For the first time, we employed plasma-IL technology to confront climate change challenges. We utilized 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride IL to capture and store CO 2 under atmospheric pressure, and subsequently employed plasma to induce the transformation of IL-captured CO 2 into CO. Furthermore, we performed computer simulations to enhance our understanding of the CO 2 and CO capture processes of water and IL solutions. This comprehensive approach provides valuable insights into the potential of plasma–IL technology as a viable solution for climate change.
