Microdroplet accelerated reaction for high-efficiency carbon disulfide conversion

Abstract

Carbon disulfide (CS₂) negatively impacts male sexual function and sperm quality. We propose an efficient method to convert CS₂ into dithiocarbamic acid using electrospray ionization, achieving up to 96.7% conversion. Protonated CS₂ intermediates (SCSH⁺) contribute to capturing CO₂ in amine reactions. Moreover, the reaction efficiently converts CS₂ from ethanol solution using microbubble bursting. This study lays the groundwork for accurate CS₂ detection.
