Global warming caused primarily by excessive emissions of CO2 has attracted worldwide attention. Herein, three 2-hydroxypyridium ionic liquids (ILs) based task-specific deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were synthesized to absorb CO2 and physical properties including density, viscosity, and melting points were measured to explore the effect on CO2 absorption. The CO2 absorption capacities of the ILs-based task-specific DESs were investigated at different pressures and temperatures, which showed that the maximum absorption capacity of the DES was up to 1.48 molCO2·molDES−1 or 0.233 gCO2·gDES−1 at the atmospheric pressure and 25 ℃. The plausible absorption mechanism was also proposed by a combination of 1:1 and 2:1 stoichiometric reactions of CO2 and the IL-based task-specific DES via multiple-site absorption, which was confirmed by 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, quantum chemical calculation, and reaction equilibrium thermodynamic modeling. The thermodynamic properties, including absorption Gibbs free energy, absorption enthalpy, and absorption entropy were rationally deduced and explained. Furthermore, the excellent CO2 absorption capacity and regenerability of multiple-site task-specific DES make it a new environmentally eco-friendly choice for highly efficient CO2 absorption and subsequent CO2 transformation.
