“…There is a long history of using noncontact radar and dielectric spectroscopic methods to estimate moisture content in complex systems as the water content of soils, − and building materials such as concrete, masonry, composites, wood, and the asphalt material of roads, − and in a wide range of agricultural applications . In our previous work, we employed a high-resolution noncontact dielectric microwave cavity to quantify and control confinement of absorbed water in cellulose nanocrystal materials, hydration number of water-sensitive fluorogenic dyes, and to characterize dielectric properties of epitaxial 2D graphene. , Inspired by these prior studies, the present paper explores the potential of a noncontact resonant microwave cavity-testing method to precisely monitor the complex dielectric permittivity (ε * ) of PEI samples exposed to a mixture of N 2 and CO 2 gas under different controlled levels of relative humidity (RH).…”

The absorption of CO 2 by polyethylenimine polymer (PEI) materials is of great interest in connection with proposed carbon capture technologies, and the successful development of this technology requires testing methods quantifying the amount of CO 2 , H 2 O, and reaction byproducts under operating conditions. We anticipate that dielectric measurements have the potential for quantifying both the extent of CO 2 and H 2 O absorption within the PEI matrix material as well as insights into subsequent reaction byproducts that can be expected to occur in the presence of moisture. The complexity of the chemistry involved in this reactive binding process clearly points to the need for the use of additional spectroscopic techniques to better resolve the multiple components involved and to validate the model-dependent findings from the dielectric measurements. Here, we employed noncontact resonant microwave cavity instrumentation operating at 7.435 GHz that allows for the precise determination of the complex dielectric permittivity of CO 2 films exposed to atmospheres of controlled relative humidity (RH), and N 2 :CO 2 compositions. We find that the addition of CO 2 leads to a considerable increase in dielectric loss of the PEI film relative to loss measured in nitrogen (N 2 ) atmosphere across the same RH range. We attribute this effect to a reaction between CO 2 and PEI generating a charged dielectrically active species contributing to the dielectric loss in the presence of moisture. Possible reaction mechanisms accounting for these observations are discussed, including the formation of carbamate-ammonium pairs and ammonium cations stabilized by bicarbonate anions that have sufficient local mobility to be dielectrically active in the investigated microwave frequency range. Understanding of these reaction mechanisms and the development of tools to quantify the amount of reactive byproducts are expected to be critical for the design and optimization of carbon capture materials.
