In this volume, Professor He and his coworkers summarize polyethylene
glycol (PEG)-promoted CO2 chemistry on the basis of understanding about
phase behavior of PEG/CO2 system and reaction mechanism at molecular
level. As PEG could be utilized as a green replacement for organic
solvents, phase-transfer catalyst, surfactant, support in various
reaction systems, significantly promoting catalytic activity and
recovering expensive metal catalysts, particularly regarded as a
CO2-philic material, the authors focus on special applications of PEG
in CO2 capture and utilization, including PEG-functionalized catalysts
for efficient transformation of CO2 and PEG-functionalized absorbents
for efficient CO2 capture. Furthermore, they describe carbon capture
and utilization strategy as an alternative approach to address the
energy penalty problem in carbon capture and storage. Interestingly,
the authors also discuss PEG radical chemistry in dense CO2 as rather
creative and unusual use of PEG, presumably serves as a reaction medium
and a radical initiator for radical chemistry.

: The Royal Library of Alexandria, or Ancient Library of Alexandria, in :
: Alexandria, Egypt, was the largest and most significant great library :
: of the ancient world. It flourished under the patronage of the :
: Ptolemaic dynasty and functioned as a major center of scholarship from :
: its construction in the 3rd century BC until the Roman conquest of :
: Egypt in 30 BC. The library was conceived and opened either during the :
: reign of Ptolemy I Soter (323-283 BC) or during the reign of his son :
: Ptolemy II (283-246 BC). /:
