Revealing the Role of Lithium Carbonate at Lithium Metal Anodes Through Study of Gas-Reacted Interphases

A stable, ionically-conductive solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is vital to lithium (Li) metal anodes, yet key properties of common SEI phases remain unknown. Among these, Li2CO3, central to foundational SEI models, has been difficult to probe given its metastability on Li. To address this, we adopted two approaches: (i) synthesis and study of model Li2CO3-based SEI and (ii) cycling and titration-based analysis of SEI from Li–Cu cells with or without additive CO2, with the aim of modulating Li2CO3 content natively. In (i), reductive instability of Li2CO3 led to co-formation of Li2O and Li2C2 in a multiphasic film with a Li+ conductivity (∼8 × 10−9 S cm−1) more than 4x higher than previously-measured Li2O or LiF films. Li2CO3 content in native interphases from (ii) was found to correlate with decreased inactive Li0 accumulation and improved Coulombic efficiency (CE) across diverse electrolytes having moderate CE. In high CE electrolytes, however, capacity losses become dominated by SEI formation rather than inactive Li0, and Li2CO3 enrichment had negligible impact. This work updates understanding of SEI Li2CO3 formed in modern electrolytes, reveals a leading mechanism by which Li2CO3 can boost CE despite its metastability, and indicates the potential and limitations of enriching this phase through electrolyte design.

Maximizing tree carbon in croplands and grazing lands while sustaining yields

BackgroundIntegrating trees into agricultural landscapes can provide climate mitigation and improves soil fertility, biodiversity habitat, water quality, water flow, and human health, but these benefits must be achieved without reducing agriculture yields. Prior estimates of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal potential from increasing tree cover in agriculture assumed a moderate level of woody biomass can be integrated without reducing agricultural production. Instead, we used a Delphi expert elicitation to estimate maximum tree covers for 53 regional cropping and grazing system categories while safeguarding agricultural yields. Comparing these values to baselines and applying spatially explicit tree carbon accumulation rates, we develop global maps of the additional CO2 removal potential of Tree Cover in Agriculture. We present here the first global spatially explicit datasets calibrated to regional grazing and croplands, estimating opportunities to increase tree cover without reducing yields, therefore avoiding a major cost barrier to restoration: the opportunity cost of CO2 removal at the expense of agriculture yields.ResultsThe global estimated maximum technical CO2 removal potential is split between croplands (1.86 PgCO2 yr− 1) and grazing lands (1.45 PgCO2 yr− 1), with large variances. Tropical/subtropical biomes account for 54% of cropland (2.82 MgCO2 ha− 1 yr− 1, SD = 0.45) and 73% of grazing land potential (1.54 MgCO2 ha− 1 yr− 1, SD = 0.47). Potentials seem to be driven by two characteristics: the opportunity for increase in tree cover and bioclimatic factors affecting CO2 removal rates.ConclusionsWe find that increasing tree cover in 2.6 billion hectares of agricultural landscapes may remove up to 3.3 billion tons of CO2 per year – more than the global annual emissions from cars. These Natural Climate Solutions could achieve the Bonn Challenge and add 793 million trees to agricultural landscapes. This is significant for global climate mitigation efforts because it represents a large, relatively inexpensive, additional CO2 removal opportunity that works within agricultural landscapes and has low economic and social barriers to rapid global scaling. There is an urgent need for policy and incentive systems to encourage the adoption of these practices.

Effects of buoyancy on the spherical flame and explosion pressure of a CH4 mixture under dilution conditions

To determine the effects of buoyancy on the spherical flame and explosion pressure under dilution conditions, a series of explosion experiments were conducted in a 20-L spherical container. The schlieren technique was used to record CH4 flames to assess the buoyancy effect. The change in the explosion pressure was recorded and correlated with the flame shape to analyze the explosion characteristics. The methane explosion occurred in two stages: initial ignition and flame development. During initial ignition, the addition of CO2 caused the flame buoyancy to increase considerably. Flames with different buoyancies had different shapes, such as spherical, ellipsoidal, and “ω” shapes. The radius of the flame at 12 mm may serve as the threshold for the onset of buoyancy effects; once the radius exceeds this value, the flame could deform due to buoyancy effects. Increasing the added CO2 concentration caused the buoyancy effect to be enhanced and appear at a very low radius of the flame. The combined effects of buoyancy and dilution reduced the flame expansion speed. The difference between the horizontal and upward expansion speeds linearly increased with the CO2 concentration. At a high CO2 concentration, the flame stagnated at speeds below 0.5 m/s. During flame development, CO2 addition made the flame surface smoother. Suppressing the cellular flame structure delayed the maximum explosion pressure rise rate and reduced the pressure peak. A coupled analysis of the flame shape and the maximum explosion pressure rise rate showed a dense cellular structure for a high explosion pressure rise rate and a smooth flame surface for a low maximum explosion pressure rise rate. The size and number of cellular structures for different mixtures were similar at a fixed maximum explosion pressure rise rate.

Multi-channel capillary bioreactor for hydrophobic VOC and CO2 abatement – Process intensification through silicone oil addition

A multi-channel capillary bioreactor devoted to the continuous abatement of hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by a bacterial and bacterial/microalgae consortium was investigated for 200 days. Toluene, α-pinene and hexane removal in the capillary bioreactor was up to 99 %, 98 %, and 55 %, respectively, which is remarkably high considering the low gas contact time of less than 1 second. Addition of silicone oil increased the removal efficiency (RE) of α-pinene within two days from 45 ± 6 % to 98 ± 2 %, probably through alleviation of biokinetic inhibition provided by the oil acting as buffer for the α-pinene and/or its metabolites. The RE of toluene increased after silicone oil addition over a period of about eight weeks from 81 ± 3 % to 99 ± 1 %, most likely via microbial adaptation. On the contrary, the removal of hexane did not increase following silicone oil addition, potentially due to the inhibition of hexane or its metabolites as the bioreactor was deliberately operated without replenishing the recirculation liquid. Interestingly, biomass adhered to the silicone oil phase rather than residing in the water phase. The bacterial diversity was substantially enhanced, and probably contributed to the observed stable performance of the capillary bioreactor. After the introduction of microalgae on day 150, lower CO2 concentrations at the outlet compared to the inlet were observed immediately. A net CO2 consumption was recorded, achieving complete carbon sequestration from the removed VOCs, along with additional CO2 removed from the inlet ambient air.

A Phosphanyl Phosphagermene and its Reactivity.

Reaction of a nucleophilic germylene Ge[CH(SiMe3)2]2 with the phosphanyl phosphaketene [{(H2C)(NDipp)}2P]PCO induces decarbonylation to form a phosphanyl phosphagermene [{(H2C)(NDipp)}2P]P=Ge[CH(SiMe3)2]2 (1; Dipp=2,6-diisopropyl-phenyl). Addition of CO2 or MeCN to 1 results in [3+2]-cycloaddition reactions to afford five-membered heterocycles. This mode of reactivity is reminiscent of that observed for frustrated Lewis pairs, with the pendant phosphanyl group acting as a base and the germanium center as a Lewis acid. Contrastingly, 1,2-addition across the P=Ge bond was observed when using ammonia, small primary amines (NH2 nP), or metal complexes (e. g. Au(PPh3)Cl and ZnEt2). These latter reactions allow for the one-step synthesis of metal phosphide complexes.

A Comparison Between Water Addition and CO2 Addition to a Diffusion Coflow Flame

ABSTRACT This work compares the effects of adding water vapor and CO2 as diluent to fuel for a diffusion flame at different ambient pressures. The approach of this research is to study numerically a methane diffusion flame with various amounts of water vapor and CO2 added to the fuel, and to compare the flame behaviors with various percentages of water vapor and CO2 content (0% to 65%). This work uses a coflow burner in the PeleLM numerical framework for simulating the flame and computing the combustion behavior. The flame was simulated with pressures of 1.0, 1.4, 5.7, and 11.1 atm. The results extracted and analyzed include temperature profiles at fixed heights and various species mole fractions compared with their values at an equilibrium state condition. The results show that most of the diluent impact does not involve changes in flame chemistry but primarily changes to heat release and heat capacity in the flames. The results also show that the diluent amount has a much larger impact on flame behavior than do changes in pressure.

The characteristics and mechanism NO formation during hydroxylated fuels/NH3 oxidation in oxy-fuel atmospheres

Oxy-fuel combustion, as an important technology to realize CCUS in the field of combustion, needs to control the generation of pollutants such as NOx while realizing CO2 capture, and the conversion of fuel-N to N2 is crucial. Previous experiments have provided insights into the influence of different atmospheres on NO during oxy-fuel combustion of alcohols. However, the specific reaction mechanism underlying how the atmosphere and hydroxyl fuels impact NO generation through the free radical pool remains unclear. In this study, the formation and reduction of NO during the oxidation of CH3OH/NH3 and C2H5OH/NH3 in O2/CO2, O2/H2O and O2/CO2/H2O atmospheres with oxy-fuel condition were investigated by simulation. In the NO generation stage, different H2O, CO2, O2 and fuel types have little effect on the peak of NO although they change the NH3→NO reaction path. In the process of NO reduction, stage 1 is the main reaction phase of NO→N2, and both CO2 and H2O are beneficial for the reduction of NO. But the reduction of NO by H2O was more pronounced. In the case of simultaneous addition of H2O and CO2, the reducing effect of H2O and CO2 alone on NO was attenuated. On the other hand, the reduction effect exerted by H2O and CO2 was stronger in high than in low oxygen-fuel ratio, stronger in C2H5OH than in CH3OH. The reduction of NO by H2O and CO2 is based on the general equation NO→N2+O2. H2O is used to promote the reaction in the positive direction by consuming O2 to convert it to H and OH, so that more of the element O is converted to OH than O2 to inhibit the production of NO. The CO2 contributes to the formation of less O2 during the reduction of N2 from NO by promoting reaction NO + N→O + N2, while the additional OH increases the "capacity" of O2 in the NO→N2+O2 reaction.

Configuration rearrangement of squalane induced by carbon dioxide dissolution: A molecular simulation study

Squalane has emerged as a desirable absorbent material for carbon capture, utilization, and storage solutions due to its tunable sorption properties, microscopic structures, and cost-effectiveness in response to the increasing demand. Moreover, a thorough understanding of the fundamental characteristics of hydrocarbons and dissolved gases involved in the Fischer–Tropsch industrial synthesis processes is also essential for researching industrial purification and separation. However, these macromolecules may experience varying degrees of induced alterations in their structural rearrangement when absorbing absorbates, which impacts the performance indicators of squalane. This study examined the solubility characteristics of absorbents made from squalane and their interaction with gaseous CO2 molecules. The perturbed chain statistical associated fluid theory (PC–SAFT) was employed to comprehensively evaluate the macroscopic thermodynamic experimental density and solubility data. Simultaneously, the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation approach was utilized to investigate the rearrangement and swelling features of the squalane chain induced by the presence of CO2 gas in a broad spectrum of temperature and pressure conditions. This work indicated that elevated temperatures increased flexibility in the molecular structure of squalane, leading to a more pronounced spatial dispersion, while higher pressures may lead to spatial homogeneity and enhanced capacity for carrying additional CO2 molecules. The examples and methodologies presented demonstrate the effectiveness of molecular simulations in comprehending absorption–based phenomena at an atomistic and molecular level and offer essential guidance in forecasting the potential for separation, storage, or catalytic.

High performance enrichment and analysis of fluoroquinolones residues in environmental water using cobalt ion mediated paper-based molecularly imprinted polymer chips

BackgroundFluoroquinolones (FQs) are widely used for their excellent antimicrobial properties, yet their release into aquatic environments pose risks to ecosystems and public health. The accurate monitoring and analysis of FQs present challenges due to their low concentrations and the complex matrices found in actual environmental samples. To address the need for auto-pretreatment and on-line instrumental analysis, developing new microextraction materials and protocols is crucial. Such advancements will provide better analytical assurance for the effective extraction and determination of FQs at trace levels, which is of great significance to environmental protection and human health. ResultsIn this work, we presented a Co2+ mediated paper-based molecularly imprinted polymer chip (CMC@Co-MIP), combined with UPLC analysis, to develop an effective analytical method for identifying and quantifying trace amounts of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and enrofloxacin (ENR) in water samples. Notably, the addition of Co2+ in CMC@Co-MIP helped to capture the template molecule CIP through coordination before imprinting, which significantly improved the ordering of the imprinted cavities. CMC@Co-MIP exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity up to 500.20 mg g−1 with an imprinting factor of 4.12, surpassing previous reports by a significant margin. Furthermore, the enrichment mechanism was extensively analyzed by various characterization techniques. The developed method showed excellent repeatability and reproducibility (RSD < 13.0 %) with detection limits ranging from 0.15 to 0.21 μg L−1 and recoveries ranging from 64.9 % to 102.3 % in real spiked water samples. SignificanceWe developed a novel microextraction paper-based chip based on Co2+ mediation, which effectively improved the selectivity and convenience of extracting FQs. This breakthrough allowed the chip to have a high enrichment efficiency as well as provide a robust on-line instrumental program. It also confirms that the imprinting scheme based on metal ion coordination is a high-performance strategy.

Chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like complex-mediated cyclic electron flow is the main electron transport route in C4 bundle sheath cells.

The superior productivity of C4 plants is achieved via a metabolic C4 cycle which acts as a CO2 pump across mesophyll and bundle sheath (BS) cells and requires an additional input of energy in the form of ATP. The importance of chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like complex (NDH) operating cyclic electron flow (CEF) around Photosystem I (PSI) for C4 photosynthesis has been shown in reverse genetics studies but the contribution of CEF and NDH to cell-level electron fluxes remained unknown. We have created gene-edited Setaria viridis with null ndhO alleles lacking functional NDH and developed methods for quantification of electron flow through NDH in BS and mesophyll cells. We show that CEF accounts for 84% of electrons reducing PSI in BS cells and most of those electrons are delivered through NDH while the contribution of the complex to electron transport in mesophyll cells is minimal. A decreased leaf CO2 assimilation rate and growth of plants lacking NDH cannot be rescued by supplying additional CO2. Our results indicate that NDH-mediated CEF is the primary electron transport route in BS chloroplasts highlighting the essential role of NDH in generating ATP required for CO2 fixation by the C3 cycle in BS cells.

Ga2O3/La2O3-γAl2O3 catalysts for CO2-assisted propane oxidative dehydrogenation to propylene

Novel Ga2O3/La2O3-γAl2O3 was investigated for ODH of propane to propylene using CO2 as a mild oxidant in a batch scale fluidized CREC Riser Simulator. La2O3 in the catalysts provided a control of both the reducibility and acidity, as shown by H2-TPR and NH3-TPD, respectively. The propane conversion and products selectivity were strong function of La2O3 content in the Ga2O3/La2O3-γAl2O3 catalysts. With increasing La2O3 content in the catalyst, propane conversion dropped slightly but the propylene selectivity and yields increased. It was proposed that the presence of La2O3 reduced the non-selective sites and the acidity of the catalysts, that contributed towards deep oxidation of propane and propylene. The improved activity and selectivity with CO2 addition implied that the as-synthesized catalyst possesses CO2 activation capability required for ODH reactions. Among the investigated catalysts, Ga2O3/La2O3-γAl2O3(1:1) exhibited the highest propane conversion (92 %) and propylene yield (56 %) at 600 ℃ in the presence of CO2.

Effects of concentrated CO2 on the performance of a PBI/H3PO4 high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell

In this study, the impact of mimic reformate of formic acid decomposition on the anode polarization of HT-PEMFC is investigated under various operating conditions of the anode, including different concentrations of CO2, N2, CO, and humidification. Polarization curve and EIS measurements indicate that there is no significant difference (less than 5 mV when i < 0.4A/cm2) between the same concentrations of CO2 and N2 up to 75 vol%. No significant poisoning of the anode by CO2 (up to 75 vol%) has been observed, suggesting that the addition of concentrated CO2 acts more as a diluent than a poison. Upon separating the polarization effects, it is found that the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial step limiting the fuel cell performance, with cathodic activation losses reaching as high as 70 % at 0.8A/cm2. However, with 1 vol% CO in a H2/CO2 1/1 mixture, a significant poisoning effect on the fuel cell is observed. DRT (distribution of relaxation times) analyses reveal two peaks related to CO in high-frequency regions above 100 Hz associated with the anode polarization, with the peak integration being five times larger than in pure hydrogen. Humidification doesn't improve the voltage or mitigate CO poisoning. A one-dimensional flux model that includes the anode polarization is developed to analyze the polarizations for both cathode and anode under different concentrations of diluents, well describing the experimental results. When i < 0.8 A/cm2, the predicted values from the model closely match the measured values (within 5–10 mV). Calculations suggest that the anode polarization cannot be ignored, especially when the anode is fed with diluted gases.

Biotechnological and economic assessment of the productivity of Chlorella vulgaris IBSS-19 microalgae under different cultivation regimes

The production of microalgae biomass and the management of productivity plays an important role in global biotechnology. This research aimed to study the kinetic characteristics of C. vulgaris growth, conduct an economic analysis of biomass production, and develop a simple optimization model for choosing the optimal cultivation regime. The results showed that the additional CO2 supply increased the specific growth rate of C. vulgaris by 35 % and increased productivity by 47 %. Analysis of the batch growth curve of microalgae revealed potentially effective cultivation cycles, which were two, four, and six days. Economic analysis revealed that the greatest biomass yield can be obtained using a two-day cultivation period. Depending on the biomass yield, the cost of production, net income, and profitability of production were calculated according to the cultivation cycles.

Experiment and simulation assessment of supercritical underground coal gasification in deep coal seam

To explain the impact of geological and process factors on underground coal gasification in deep coal seam (>2200 m) and promote the efficient and clean extraction and conversion of coal, this study employs the orthogonal experimental design method to investigate the impact of CO2 coefficient (0–1), moisture content (30–80 wt%), calcite content (0–10 wt%), albite content (0–10 wt%), kaolinite content (0–20 wt%), reaction temperature (550–650 °C), and reaction pressure (23–27 MPa) on the characteristics of coal underground gasification under supercritical H2O/CO2 conditions. Furthermore, range analysis and variance analysis are utilized to determine the degree of influence of each factor and the interaction between factors. Finally, the Gibbs free energy minimization method is used to conduct a thermodynamic equilibrium analysis of coal supercritical H2O/CO2 gasification at high temperatures (750–1000 °C). The results indicate that the three most significant factors affecting the process of coal supercritical H2O/CO2 gasification are the CO2 coefficient, moisture content, and reaction temperature. The maximum carbon gasification efficiency at 650 °C in experimental cases and 1000 °C in simulation cases is 22.2% and 88.1%, respectively. Although the addition of CO2 at lower temperatures reduces the carbon gasification efficiency, at high temperatures (>900 °C), a higher initial CO2 concentration increases the carbon gasification efficiency. The addition of CO2 under conditions of low moisture content increases the mole fraction of H2, but reduces it under conditions of high moisture content (≥70 wt%). Among the three minerals, calcite has the most significant influence on the gasification process.

Synergistic effect of CO2-mixing and steel slag addition on performance and microstructure of concrete

This study systematically investigated the influence of varying carbon dioxide (CO2) dosages and steel slag (SS) replacement rates on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete through the injection of CO2 gas during the mixing process. The composition of hydration products, degree of hydration, and the evolution of microstructural characteristics within the CO2-SS-cement system were analyzed. The results showed that CO2 addition during the mixing process enhanced early strength in SS concrete. For concrete with a 10 wt% SS replacement rate, the incorporation of CO2 ranging from 0.4 wt% to 1.2 wt% of the total mass of cementitious materials resulted in notable compressive strength increases of 1.26%–12.47%, 0.64%–6.14%, and 11.79%–18.24% at ages of 1 d, 3 d, and 7 d, respectively. CO2 rapidly reacted with SS to form calcite-type CaCO3 and promoted the generation of C-S-H through synergistic hydration with cement. However, a high CO2 dosage (1.2 wt%) led to issues such as microcrack propagation and interface loosening due to CaCO3 deposition, which could be mitigated to some extent by appropriately increasing the SS content.

Mechanism insight into the conversion between COS and thiophene during CO2 gasification of carbon-based fuels

Thiophene is the organic sulfur with good thermal stability in carbon-based fuel, clarifying the conversion mechanism between thiophene and COS is beneficial for achieving in-situ sulfur fixation during CO2 gasification of carbon-based fuels, but the mechanism has rarely been reported. Therefore, calculations based on density functional theory were performed and 16 reaction paths were proposed in this research, clarifying the decomposition mechanism of thiophene and re-fixation mechanism of COS. The attachment of CO2 will lead to the destruction of the thiophene ring and the generation of COS, and CO2 adsorption is the rate-determined step, while the carbon atom that adjacent sulfur atom is the reaction active site. However, the energy barriers of CO2 addition reactions are lower than those of CO2 adsorption reactions, and the energy barrier of reactions occurring on the aliphatics are lower than that occurring on the aromatics. The combination of CO2 and thiophene will thermodynamically lead to the generation of COS and CO. Moreover, gaseous sulfur generated from thiophene decomposition will be converted mutually, while H2S will not be converted into COS. Furthermore, COS will be captured by char, forming solid organic sulfur. The re-fixation of COS will occur on aliphatic chains from the decomposition of aromatics.

Molecular-scale insights into nanoconfined water-CO2 interactions in geological carbon storage

Understanding the nanoconfined water-CO2 interactions at the molecular scale is of great importance for the fluid transport in confined porous media. Here, a series typical water film and water bridge scenarios are determined, and the associated impacts on nanoconfined water-CO2 interactions as well as the geological hydrocarbon recovery and CO2 storage are investigated in nanopores. Our results confirm either in water film or water bridge scenarios, the competitive adsorptions of nanoconfined water and CO2 reduce the adsorbed water amount and derive the new water bridge with CO2 additions. Such a phenomenon indicates the substrate surface shifts from water-wet to partially CO2-wet, with lower fluid molecule diffusions and illite-water-CO2 sandwich-structured adsorption layer. Overall, our work investigates the mechanism of CO2 effects on distributions and aggregations of nanoconfined water molecules in nanopores, which also provides molecular-scale insights into the nanoconfined water-CO2 interactions in the processes of geological CO2 storage and utilization.

Direct Ethylene Purification from a Four-Component Gas Mixture by a Microporous MOF with Aromatic Pore Surface and Carboxylates.

The single-step purification of ethylene (C2H4) from a mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2), acetylene (C2H2), ethylene (C2H4), and ethane (C2H6) was achieved through MOF Compound-1, where the aromatic pore surface and carboxylates selectively recognized C2H6 and CO2, respectively, resulting in a reversal of the adsorption orders for both gases (C2H6 > C2H4 and CO2 > C2H4). Breakthrough testing verified that the C2H4 purification ability could be enhanced 2.6 times after adding impure CO2. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations demonstrate that there are interactions between CO2 and C2H6 molecules as well as between CO2 molecules themselves. These interactions contribute to the enhancement of the C2H4 purification ability upon the addition of CO2 and the increased adsorption of CO2.

Sublimation of volatiles from H2O:CO2 bulk ices in the context of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

Context. The ROSINA instrument on board the Rosetta spacecraft measured, among others, the outgassing of noble gases from comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The interpretation of this dataset and unravelling underlying desorption mechanisms requires detailed laboratory studies. Aims. We aim to improve our understanding of the desorption patterns, trapping, and fractionation of noble gases released from the H2O:CO2-dominated ice of comet 67P. Methods. In the laboratory, ice films of neon, argon, krypton, or xenon (Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe) mixed in CO2:H2O were prepared at 15 K. Temperature-programmed desorption mass spectrometry is employed to analyse the desorption behaviour of the noble gases. Mass spectrometric ROSINA data of 67P were analysed to determine the fraction of argon associated with CO2 and H2O, respectively. Results. CO2 has a significant effect on noble gas desorption behaviour, resulting in the co-release of noble gases with CO2, decreasing the amount of noble gas trapped within water, shifting the pure phase noble gas peak desorption temperature to lower temperatures, and prolonging the trapping of neon. These effects are linked to competition for binding sites in the water ice and the formation of crystalline CO2. Desorption energies of the pure phase noble gas release were determined and found to be higher than those previously reported in the literature. Enhancement of the Ar/Kr and Ar/Xe ratios are at best 40% and not significantly influenced by the addition of CO2. Analysis of ROSINA mass spectrometric data shows that the fraction of argon associated with H2O is 0.53 ± 0.30, which cannot be explained by our laboratory results. Conclusions. Multicomponent ice mixtures affect the desorption behaviour of volatiles compared to simple binary mixtures and experiments on realistic cometary ice analogues are vital to understanding comet outgassing.
