Carbon dioxide solubility in four ionic liquids (ILs) of different families with different cationic−anionic groups (tributylmethylphosphonium formate, butyltrimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl) imide, 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide, and 1ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate) at temperature of 298 K and a pressure range from vacuum to 10 bar were studied in this work using state of the art gravimetric sorption experiments. This work provides insight information regarding CO 2 solubility for IL−IL mixing effect pressures up to 10 bar and at 298 K. Density values were used to calculate molar volume of ionic liquids for further discussions on CO 2 solubility-molar volume relationship. Noticeably higher CO 2 solubility with IL−IL hybridized systems of different family is opening a new window for research on a molecular level by simulations and intellectually designed ILs. Chemisorption behavior has been observed for the ILs that contain acetate-based anions in the structure and relevant discussion is included in this work.
