CO2 Capture Image 1

Molecular Dynamics of CO2 Absorption

We investigate the molecular-level structure and dynamic mechanisms which governs CO₂ absorption using first-principles calculations and molecular simulations, focusing on solvent–CO₂ interactions, binding motifs, and transport pathways relevant to energy and environmental applications.

Quantum Mechanical Investigation of CO2 Reactivity

We employ density functional theory to elucidate CO₂ activation, reaction pathways, and energy barriers, providing molecular-level insights for carbon capture, conversion for methylpiperidines, dihydrooxazole isomers.
