Poly(ionic liquid)s, the polymers made from ionic liquid monomers, have higher CO2 sorption capacity than room temperature ionic liquids. The anion , cation , backbone, and substituent of poly(ionic liquid) affect their CO2 sorption, and the effects are different from ionic liquids. The polymers with highly polar cation and anion, styrene backbone, short substituent have high CO2 sorption capacity. For example, P[VBTMA][BF4] and P[VBTMA][PF6] have the highest CO2 sorption capacity.
