Serious environmental concerns have led to a great demand for efficient uptake of NH3 by solvents. However, traditional aqueous absorbents have many shortcomings and efforts to use ionic liquids have met with limited success. A hybrid deep eutectic solvents (DESs) designed with a flexible hydrogen-bonded supramolecular network exhibits both exceptional NH3 uptake capacity and superior desorption-regeneration performance, along with superb NH3/CO2 selectivity and environmental merit. Elucidated by molecular dynamic simulations and spectroscopic analysis, the abundant hydrogen-bonding sites in the hybrid DESs bind every atom of the NH3 molecule and enable strong physical reversible solvation, whereas the multiple interactions among the hybrid components create a flexible hydrogen-bonded supramolecular network and allow for solvent-unbreaking absorption to ensure the full participation of the solvent and process stability. A mass solubility of NH3 up to 0.13gg(-1) was achieved at 313K and 101kPa by the hybrid DES choline chloride/resorcinol/glycerol (1:3:5), which is higher than all reported ionic liquids and ordinary DESs. Moreover, the performance remained the same after ten absorption-desorption cycles and the DESs could be easily regenerated.
