This project focuses on the recent discovery that CO₂, under specific supersaturation conditions, can transform into bicarbonate clusters that adsorb onto the interfaces of various objects dispersed in water (particles, droplets, bubbles, etc.). The aim of the postdoctoral work is to directly track and characterize these bicarbonate species using advanced analytical techniques, including:
- Solid-state NMR
- SAXS (Small-Angle X-ray Scattering)
- SANS (Small-Angle Neutron Scattering)
- Raman spectroscopy
