Predictive energetic tuning of quinoid O-nucleophiles for the electrochemical capture of carbon dioxide
We use quinone reduction potentials to showcase molecularly tunable CO2 binding strengths for a family of electrochemically generated quinoid molecular sorbents. In our study, we find that CO2 binding stoichiometry varies with CO2 concentration.
