Application


  • Interfacial carbonyl groups of propylene carbonate facilitate the reversible binding of nitrogen dioxide.: Investigating the interaction of interfacial carbonyl groups in propylene carbonate with nitrogen dioxide, this study provides insights into the reversible binding mechanisms, important for developing better gas capture and storage systems (Clark & Allen, 2024).
