<div>CO2 is one of the main actors in the greenhouse effect and its removal from the atmosphere is becoming an urgent need. Thus, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 capture and usage (CCU) technologies are intensively investigated as technologies to decrease the concentration</div><div>of atmospheric CO2. Both CCS and CCU require appropriate materials to adsorb/release and adsorb/activate CO2, respectively. Recently, it has been theoretically and experimentally shown that transition metal carbides (TMC) are able to capture, store, and activate CO2. To further improve the adsorption capacity of these materials, a deep understanding of the atomic level processes involved is essential. In the present work, we theoretically investigate the possible effects of surface metal doping of these TMCs by taking TiC as a textbook case and Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ta, V, W, and Zr as dopants. Using periodic slab models with large</div><div>supercells and state-of-the-art density functional theory based calculations we show that CO2 adsorption is enhanced by doping with metals down a group but worsened along the d series. Adsorption sites, dispersion and coverage appear to play a minor, secondary constant effect. The dopant-induced adsorption enhancement is highly biased by the charge rearrangement at the surface. In all cases, CO2 activation is found but doping can shift the desorption temperature by up to 135 K.</div>

Measurements are reported on the formation of complex ions in solutions containing cupric and chloride or bromide ions, and solutions of nickel or cobalt with chloride. In each case the halide was present in very low amount. With copper a spectrophotometric method was used, and a cell voltage method with nickel and cobalt. The ionic strength was kept constant, but the temperature was varied. The data show difficulties of interpretation if it is assumed that only MX+ ions (M is the metal, X is the halogen) are formed, the difficulties arising from the anomalous variation of the equilibrium constant with temperature, and from the general drift of the calculated constants from the e.m.f. measurements. Various explanations are considered and it is shown that postulation of M2X+3 ions is at least a possible explanation.
