Abstract
A novel way to mitigate the greenhouse effect is to use dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to convert carbon dioxide from the air into useful products, such as hydrocarbons, which can also store energy from the sun, a plentiful, clean, and safe resource. The conversion of CO2 can help reduce the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. However, there is a major obstacle in using DSSCs, since many solar devices operate with organic electrolytes, producing pollutants including toxic substances. Therefore, a key research area is to find new eco-friendly electrolytes that can effectively dissolve carbon dioxide. One option is to use deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which are potential substitutes for ionic liquids (ILs) and have similar advantages, such as being customizable, economical, and environmentally friendly. DESs are composed of low-cost materials and have very low toxicity and high biodegradability, making them suitable for use as electrolytes in DSSCs, within the framework of green chemistry. The purpose of this brief review is to explore the existing knowledge about how CO2 dissolves in DESs and how these solvents can be used as electrolytes in solar devices, especially in DSSCs. The physical and chemical properties of the DESs are described, and areas are suggested where further research should be focused.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents such as reline are an emerging class of low-cost, environmentally friendly solvents with tunable properties that are potentially applicable for the capture and separation of CO2. Experimental measurements showed that a reline-based membrane contactor can capture and separate CO2 via physisorption through a dissolution process with 96.7% purity from a mixed gas containing CO2 and N2 (50:50% molar ratio). We examine the nature of the interaction of CO2 and N2 with reline employing quantum chemical methods. We focus on explaining the mechanism by which CO2 and N2 bind to reline and the reason for the high selectivity for absorption of CO2 compared to N2. We analyze the dynamics, energetics, and binding motifs for CO2 and N2 in reline employing density functional theory, density functional tight binding, and ab initio molecular dynamics. We also investigate the effect of reline on the vibrational spectra of CO2 and reline. Our simulations indicate that the selective capture of CO2 from the mixture of CO2 and N2 is due to the interplay between attractive electrostatic and charge polarization forces with opposing entropic effects, which shift the energetic balance and make the N2 absorption unfavorable in reline.

Abstract
A theoretical study of the reaction between several borataacenes (1-methylboratabenzene, 9-methyl-9-borataanthracene and cis and trans diboratapentacene) and CO2 has been carried out at the M06-2X computational level. The influence of a counterion (potassium cation), the cation complexation by 18-crown-6-ether and solvent effects have been explored. The computational results predict anti/syn selectivity as found experimentally in the cis- and trans-diboratapentacene reaction with CO2 (Baker et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2023, 145, 2028).

Abstract
CONTEXT Global warming is a severe problem experiencing the climate crisis due to rising CO2 emissions. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have recently attracted a lot of attention as potential absorbents to mitigate carbon dioxide CO2 emissions because of their large CO2 capacities and stability under diverse conditions. Designing a potent DES requires knowledge of molecular-level understanding including structure, dynamics, and interfacial properties in DESs. In this study, we investigate the CO2 sorption and diffusion in different DESs at different temperatures and pressure using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Our results demonstrate that CO2 molecules preferentially concentrate at the CO2-DES interface, and the diffusion of CO2 in bulk DESs increases with increasing pressure and temperature. The solubility of CO2 in the three DESs increases as ChCL-ethylene glycol < ChCL-urea < ChCL-glycerol at high pressure (58.6 bar). METHODS The initial configuration for MD simulations included DES and CO2 and produced the solvation box using PACKMOL software. The geometries are optimized in the Gaussian 09 software at the theoretical level of B3LYP/6-311 + G*. The partial atomic charges were fitted to an electrostatic surface potential using the CHELPG method. MD simulations were carried out by using the NAMD version 2.13 software. VMD software was used to take the snapshots. TRAVIS software is used to determine spatial distribution functions.

Abstract
In this study, CO2 solubility in different choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has been investigated using the Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR). In this regard, the effect of different structures of the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) in choline chloride (ChCl) based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has been studied in different temperatures and different molar ratios of ChCl as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) to HBD. 12 different datasets with 390 data on the CO2 solubility were chosen from the literature for the model development. Eight predictive models, which contain the pressure and one structural descriptor, have been developed at the fixed temperature (i.e. 293, 303, 313, or 323 K), and the constant molar ratio of ChCl to HBD equal to 1:3 or 1:4. Moreover, two models were also introduced, which considered the effects of pressure, temperature, and HBD structures, simultaneously in the molar ratios equal to 1:3 or 1:4. Two additional datasets were used only for the further external validation of these two models at new temperatures, pressures, and HBD structures. It was identified that CO2 solubility depends on the "EEig02d" descriptor of HBD. "EEig02d" is a molecular descriptor derived from the edge adjacency matrix of a molecule that is weighted by dipole moments. This descriptor is also related to the molar volume of the structure. The statistical evaluation of the proposed models for the unfixed and fixed temperature datasets confirmed the validity of the developed models.

Abstract
An equilibrium acidity (pKa) scale that comprises 16 Brönsted organic acids, including phenols, carboxylic acids, azoles, and phenylmalononitriles, was established in a choline chloride/EG-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) ([Ch][Cl]:2EG) by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic methods. The established acidity scale spans about 6 pK units in the DES, which is similar to that for these acids in water. The acidity comparisons and linear correlations between the DES and other solvents show that the solvent property of [Ch][Cl]:2EG is quite different from those of amphiphilic protic and dipolar aprotic molecular solvents. The carbon dioxide absorption capabilities as well as apparent absorption kinetics for a series of anion-functionalized DESs ([Ch][X]:2EG) were measured, and the results show that the basicity of comprising anion [X] of choline salt is essential for the maximum carbon dioxide absorption capacity, i.e., a stronger basicity leads to a greater absorption capacity. The possible absorption mechanisms for carbon dioxide absorption in these DESs were also discussed based on the spectroscopic evidence.

Abstract
The theoretical treatment of ionic liquids must focus now on more realistic models while at the same time keeping an accurate methodology when following recent ionic liquids research trends or allowing predictability to come to the foreground. In this Perspective, we summarize in three cases of advanced ionic liquid research what methodological progress has been made and point out difficulties that need to be overcome. As particular examples to discuss we choose reactions, chirality, and radicals in ionic liquids. All these topics have in common that an explicit or accurate treatment of the electronic structure and/or intermolecular interactions is required (accurate methodology), while at the same time system size and complexity as well as simulation time (realistic model) play an important role and must be covered as well.

Abstract
In this Perspective, I review the current state of computational simulations on ionic liquids with an emphasis on the recent biocompatible variants. These materials are used here as an example of relatively complex systems that highlights the limits of some of the approaches commonly used to study their structure and dynamics. The source of these limits consists of the coexistence of nontrivial electrostatic, many-body quantum effects, strong hydrogen bonds, and chemical processes affecting the mutual protonation state of the constituent molecular ions. I also provide examples on how it is possible to overcome these problems using suitable simulation paradigms and recently improved techniques that, I expect, will be gradually introduced in the state-of-the-art of computational simulations of ionic liquids.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are one of the most rapidly evolving types of solvents, appearing in a broad range of applications, such as nanotechnology, electrochemistry, biomass transformation, pharmaceuticals, membrane technology, biocomposite development, modern 3D-printing, and many others. The range of their applicability continues to expand, which demands the development of new DESs with improved properties. To do so requires an understanding of the fundamental relationship between the structure and properties of DESs. Computer simulation and machine learning techniques provide a fruitful approach as they can predict and reveal physical mechanisms and readily be linked to experiments. This review is devoted to the computational research of DESs and describes technical features of DES simulations and the corresponding perspectives on various DES applications. The aim is to demonstrate the current frontiers of computational research of DESs and discuss future perspectives.

Abstract
To find an alternative way for improving the efficacy of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to dissolve carbon dioxide, a computational study of DES systems comprising choline chloride and different hydrogen-bond donors (ethylene glycol and glycerol) immobilized on hydrophobic (graphite) and hydrophilic (titanium dioxide) solid surfaces was performed. This research provides quantitative molecular understanding of the role of the DES thickness and also the type of solid support in CO2 sorption and diffusion using molecular dynamics simulations. In general, the proposed model based on supported DESs immobilized on different supports was developed to correlate the solubility of CO2 in DESs based on choline chloride. The simulated systems illustrate that CO2 molecules mainly accumulate at the gas/DES interface in short times, whereas diffusion of CO2 to the bulk DESs is slower as the thickness of the immobilized DES increases. In addition, the CO2 absorption capacity of both DESs coated on the TiO2 surface is larger than that on the graphite surface. Structural and dynamic characteristics were determined using density profiles, distribution functions, orientational analysis, and mean-square displacements. We further demonstrate the effective interaction parameters associated with CO2 capture by DESs via density functional theory.
