“…The zeta potential measures the charge of the electric double layer around colloidal particles because of ionization of different functional groups in the solution. Generally, nanoparticles with a zeta potential in the range of −35 to 30 mV are considered stable due to electrostatic repulsion. , The average measured zeta potential for fabricated GO was ± −9.66 mV.…”

The addition of nanoparticles in amine solutions to produce a stable amine-based nanofluid provides a high surface area for absorption and improves the absorption rate. In this work, nanofluids were prepared by dispersing graphene oxide (GO) in monoethanolamine (MEA) and ethylenediamine (EDA) solutions for adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to further improve their absorption performance by providing more reaction sites on the GO framework. GO was synthesized using the modified Hummers method and characterized for physicochemical properties using SEM, EDS, FTIR, Raman analysis, and TGA. The FTIR spectra for the GO nanoparticles before absorption showed peaks attributed to C−C, H−C, and C−O bonding. After the absorption experiments, the FTIR spectra of GO showed peaks due to C−O−NH 2 , N−O−N, and N−H bonding. The BET analysis further confirmed the decrease in the surface area, pore volume, and pore diameter of the GO recovered from the nanofluids after the CO 2 experiment, indicating an interaction between GO and amine molecules. The absorption process of CO 2 by the nanofluid was performed in a custom-made pressure chamber whereby the CO 2 gas was in direct contact with the absorption fluids. The obtained adsorption rate constant (k) for the reaction between CO 2 and 30% MEA and EDA solutions was 0.113 and 0.131, respectively. Upon addition of 0.2 mg/mL GO in the base solution, k increased to 0.16854 and 0.17603 for the MEA and EDA nanofluids, respectively. The proposed mechanism involves GO nanoparticles interacting with the amine groups through the oxygen-rich groups of GO. This results in the formation of a zwitterion that readily reacts with CO 2 , resulting in a carbamate.
