The research conducted in the last five years can potentially paint a picture of the next generation’s research related to solvent development for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture. This paper presents a comprehensive summary of the research work in this field conducted in the period from 2015 to 2020. The work includes research efforts in the areas of: (i) solvent chemistry, which refers to the work conducted on solubility, reaction kinetics, nuclear magnetic resonance or NMR analysis for ion speciation, and alternative solvents, (ii) development of amine solvents, which includes development of catalyst and enhancement of current solvents with the aid of catalysts, (iii) a novel regeneration process called Electrochemically Mediated Amine Regeneration, and (iv) applications of artificial intelligence technologies to the carbon dioxide capture process. The paper can be considered an update discussion and summary of the research work conducted in diverse areas related to solvent development for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture since our review of the research area published in 2015.

过去五年中进行的研究可能会描绘出下一代与燃烧后二氧化碳捕集溶剂开发相关的研究情况。本文全面概述了2015年至2020年在该领域进行的研究工作。该工作包括以下领域的研究工作：（i）溶剂化学，指的是有关溶解度，反应动力学，核磁共振或NMR分析（用于离子形态分析）和其他溶剂，（ii）胺溶剂的开发，其中包括催化剂的开发和借助于催化剂的现有溶剂的增强，（iii）一种称为电化学介导的胺再生的新型再生方法，（iv）将人工智能技术应用于二氧化碳捕获过程。自2015年发表我们对研究领域的评论以来，该论文可以被视为与燃烧后二氧化碳捕集溶剂开发有关的各个领域进行的研究工作的最新讨论和摘要。
