Abstract
Thiolate-based ionic liquids, specifically the catalyst [TBP][2-Tp], have demonstrated their efficiency in catalyzing the reaction of CO2 with propargylic amine. This novel synthetic method can be used to synthesize various 2-oxazolidinone derivatives with high yields. The catalyst can be easily regenerated and reused without any decline in its catalytic activity. Experimental and spectroscopic investigations have confirmed that the high activity of [TBP][2-Tp] is attributed to the synergistic effect of its S and N sites in activating CO2, rather than depending solely on basicity to activate the amino group of propargylic amine. These findings highlight the significant potential of thiolate-based ionic liquids for applications in CO2 activation and conversion.

Abstract
In the realm of nanoscale materials design, achieving precise control over the dimensions of nanotubular architectures poses a substantial challenge. In our ongoing pursuit, we have successfully engineered a novel class of single-molecule nanotubes─isoreticular covalent organic pillars (iCOPs)─by stacking formylated macrocycles through multiple dynamic covalent imine bonds, guided by principles of reticular chemistry. Our strategic selection of rigid diamine linkers has facilitated the synthesis of a diverse array of iCOPs, each retaining a homologous structure yet offering distinct cavity shapes influenced by the linker choice. Notably, three of these iCOP variants feature continuous one-dimensional channels, exhibiting length-dependent host-guest interactions with α,ω-dibromoalkanes, and each presenting a distinct critical guest alkyl chain length threshold for efficient guest encapsulation. This newfound capability not only provides a platform for tailoring nanotubular structures with precision, but also opens new avenues for innovative applications in molecular recognition and the purification of complex mixtures.

Abstract
Growing concern about global warming and greenhouse effects has led to persistent demands for increased energy efficiency and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, energy-intensive processing of carbon dioxide separation became imperative. Accordingly, energy-efficient, economically viable carbon dioxide separation technologies are sought as carbon dioxide capture options for future industrial process schemes. The article provides an overview of current technology for the separation of carbon dioxide, specifically focusing on adsorption. In this study, amine-loaded Zeolite-Y adsorbents were evaluated to enhance carbon dioxide adsorption capacity through synthesis, characterization, and the adsorption of carbon dioxide, within the context of current trends in separation technology. This study aims to study the ability of amine-loaded Zeolite-Y to adsorb carbon dioxide using three different loadings ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine. The amine-loaded materials were characterized by various technologies, including X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) studies. The study suggests that monoethanolamine-loaded Zeolite-Y is a promising and cost-effective adsorbent for carbon dioxide adsorption in comparison to other synthesized amine-loaded adsorbents. The adsorbent has been able to adsorb carbon dioxide in the range of 1.14-2.26 mmol g-1 at 303 K and 1 bar for a loading of 1, 5, and 10 wt.% amine groups.

Abstract
The high structural diversity and porosity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) promote their applications in selective gas adsorption. The development of robust MOFs that are stable against corrosive SO2 remains a daunting challenge. Here, we report a highly robust aluminum-based MOF (HIAM-330) built on a 4-connected Al3(OH)2(COO)4 cluster and 8-connected octacarboxylate ligand with a (4,8)-connected scu topology. It exhibits a fully reversible SO2 uptake of 12.1 mmol g-1 at 298 K and 1 bar. It is capable of selective capture of SO2 over other gases (CO2, CH4, and N2) with high adsorption selectivities of 60, 330, and 3537 for equimolar mixtures of SO2/CO2, SO2/CH4, and SO2/N2, respectively, at 298 K and 1 bar. Breakthrough measurements verified the capability of HIAM-330 for selective capture of SO2 (2500 ppm) over CO2 or N2. High-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction of SO2 loaded HIAM-330 revealed the binding domains of adsorbed SO2 molecules and host-guest interactions.

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:28505-28516. [PMID: 38785134 PMCID: PMC11163407 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c03735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
The search for cheap and active materials for the capture and activation of CO2 has led to many efforts aimed at developing new catalysts. In this context, earth-abundant transition metal carbides (TMCs) have emerged as promising candidates, garnering increased attention in recent decades due to their exceptional refractory properties and resistance to sintering, coking, and sulfur poisoning. In this work, we assess the use of Group 5 TMCs (VC, NbC, and TaC) as potential materials for carbon capture and sequestration/utilization technologies by combining experimental characterization techniques, first-principles-based multiscale modeling, vibrational analysis, and catalytic experiments. Our findings reveal that the stoichiometric phase of VC exhibits weak interactions with CO2, displaying an inability to adsorb or dissociate it. However, VC often exhibits the presence of surface carbon vacancies, leading to significant activation of CO2 at room temperature and facilitating its catalytic hydrogenation. In contrast, stoichiometric NbC and TaC phases exhibit stronger interactions with CO2, capable of adsorbing and even breaking of CO2 at low temperatures, particularly notable in the case of TaC. Nevertheless, NbC and TaC demonstrate poor catalytic performance for CO2 hydrogenation. This work suggests Group 5 TMCs as potential materials for CO2 abatement, emphasizes the importance of surface vacancies in enhancing catalytic activity and adsorption capability, and provides a reference for using the infrared spectra as a unique identifier to detect oxy-carbide phases or surface C vacancies within Group 5 TMCs.

Abstract
The pursuit of decarbonization involves leveraging waste CO2 for the production of valuable fuels and chemicals (e.g., ethanol, ethylene, and urea) through the electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR). The efficacy of this process heavily depends on electrocatalyst performance, which is generally reliant on high loading of critical minerals. However, the supply of these minerals is susceptible to shortage and disruption, prompting concerns regarding their usage, particularly in electrocatalysis, requiring swift innovations to mitigate the supply risks. The reliance on critical minerals in catalyst fabrication can be reduced by implementing design strategies that improve the available active sites, thereby increasing the mass activity. This review seeks to discuss and analyze potential strategies, challenges, and opportunities for improving catalyst activity in CO2RR with a special attention to addressing the risks associated with critical mineral scarcity. By shedding light onto these aspects of critical mineral-based catalyst systems, this review aims to inspire the development of high-performance catalysts and facilitates the practical application of CO2RR technology, whilst mitigating adverse economic, environmental, and community impacts.

Abstract
Herein, a robust microporous aluminum tetracarboxylate framework, MIL-120(Al)-AP, (MIL, AP: Institute Lavoisier and Ambient Pressure synthesis, respectively) is reported, which exhibits high CO2 uptake (1.9 mmol g-1 at 0.1 bar, 298 K). In situ Synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements together with Monte Carlo simulations reveal that this structure offers a favorable CO2 capture configuration with the pores being decorated with a high density of µ2-OH groups and accessible aromatic rings. Meanwhile, based on calculations and experimental evidence, moderate host-guest interactions Qst (CO2) value of MIL-120(Al)-AP (-40 kJ mol-1) is deduced, suggesting a relatively low energy penalty for full regeneration. Moreover, an environmentally friendly ambient pressure green route, relying on inexpensive raw materials, is developed to prepare MIL-120(Al)-AP at the kilogram scale with a high yield while the Metal- Organic Framework (MOF) is further shaped with inorganic binders as millimeter-sized mechanically stable beads. First evidences of its efficient CO2/N2 separation ability are validated by breakthrough experiments while operando IR experiments indicate a kinetically favorable CO2 adsorption over water. Finally, a techno-economic analysis gives an estimated production cost of ≈ 13 $ kg-1, significantly lower than for other benchmark MOFs. These advancements make MIL-120(Al)-AP an excellent candidate as an adsorbent for industrial-scale CO2 capture processes.

Abstract
A new strategy for ultramicroporous activated carbons production from avocado seeds was developed. Combined solvothermal carbonization and thermal KOH activation were conducted. Solvothermal carbonizations were performed in a stainless-steel autoclave lined with Teflon at the temperature of 180 °C for 12 h in three different liquids (water, methanol, isopropyl alcohol). Chars were activated by KOH. The carbonization combined with activation took place in the oven at 850 °C for 1 h. All the samples were very good CO2 sorbents. The highest CO2 adsorption at a pressure of 1 bar was achieved for activated carbon produced using isopropanol. The best carbon dioxide adsorption was equal to 6.47 mmol/g at 0 °C and 4.35 mmol/g at 20 °C.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) is a promising material for gas separation applications. It also serves as a prototype for numerous ZIFs, including amorphous ones, with a broader range of possible applications, including sensors, catalysis, and lithography. It consists of zinc coordinated with 2-methylimidazolate (2mIm) and has been synthesized with methods ranging from liquid-phase to solvent-free synthesis, which aim to control its crystal size and shape, film thickness and microstructure, and incorporation into nanocomposites. Depending on the synthesis method and postsynthesis treatments, ZIF-8 materials may deviate from the nominal defect-free ZIF-8 crystal structure due to defects like missing 2mIm, missing zinc, and physically adsorbed 2mIm trapped in the ZIF-8 pores, which may alter its performance and stability. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has been used to assess the presence of defects in ZIF-8 and related materials. However, conflicting interpretations by various authors persist in the literature. Here, we systematically investigate ZIF-8 vibrational spectra by combining experimental IR spectroscopy and first-principles molecular dynamics simulations, focusing on assigning peaks and elucidating the spectroscopic signals of putative defects present in the ZIF-8 material. We attempt to resolve conflicting assignments from the literature and to provide a comprehensive understanding of the vibrational spectra of ZIF-8 and its defect-induced variations, aiming toward more precise quality control and design of ZIF-8-based materials for emerging applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), self-assembled porous materials synthesized from metal ions and organic ligands, are promising candidates for the direct capture of CO2 from the atmosphere. In this work, we developed a regression model to predict the optimal component of the MOF that governs the amount of CO2 adsorption per volume based on experimentally observed adsorption and structure data combined with MOF adsorption sites. The structural descriptors were generated by topological data analysis with persistence diagrams, an advanced mathematical method for quantifying the rings and cavities within the MOF. This enables us to analyze direct effects and significance of the geometric structure of the MOF on the efficiency of CO2 adsorption in a novel way. The proposed approach is proved to be highly correlated with experimental data and thus offers an effective screening tool for MOFs with optimized structures.

Abstract
Removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from a CO2/N2 mixture by utilizing CO2-selective sorbents is important from the perspective of energy security and environmental sustainability. Herein, a microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) composed of manganese(II) and a bifunctional linker 5-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (H2L), [Mn(HL)2] (1) is designed and synthesized using a hydrothermal method. Characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), a microporous channel was found in the structure of compound 1 along the a-axis. Attributed to hydrogen-binding interactions between CO2 molecules and N- and O-donor ligands in its microporous one-dimensional (1D) channel, compound 1 exhibits favorable adsorption of CO2 over N2. Further, verified by experimental breakthrough tests, the CO2/N2 mixture can be separated efficiently. This work provides potential guidance for designing CO2-selective MOFs for CO2/N2 separation.

Abstract
Since carbon (C) atom has a variety of chemical bonds via hybridization between s and p atomic orbitals, it is well known that there are robust carbon materials. In particular, discovery of C60 has been an epoch making to cultivate nanocarbon fields. Since then, nanocarbon materials such as nanotube and graphene have been reported. It is interesting to note that C60 is soluble and volatile unlike nanotube and graphene. This indicates that C60 film is easy to be produced on any kinds of substrates, which is advantage for device fabrication. In particular, electron-/photo-induced C60 polymerization finally results in formation of one-dimensional (1D) metallic peanut-shaped and 2D dumbbell-shaped semiconducting C60 polymers, respectively. This enables us to control the physicochemical properties of C60 films using electron-/photo-lithography techniques. In this review, we focused on the structures, fundamental properties, and potential applications of the low-dimensional C60 polymers and other nanocarbons such as C60 peapods, wavy-structured graphene, and penta-nanotubes with topological defects. We hope this review will provide new insights for producing new novel nanocarbon materials and inspire broad readers to cultivate new further research in carbon materials.

Abstract
Development of crystalline porous materials for selective CO2 adsorption and storage is in high demand to boost the carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. In this regard, we have developed a β-keto enamine-based covalent organic framework (VM-COF) via the Schiff base polycondensation technique. The as-synthesized VM-COF exhibited excellent thermal and chemical stability along with a very high surface area (1258 m2 g-1) and a high CO2 adsorption capacity (3.58 mmol g-1) at room temperature (298 K). The CO2/CH4 and CO2/H2 selectivities by the IAST method were calculated to be 10.9 and 881.7, respectively, which were further experimentally supported by breakthrough analysis. Moreover, theoretical investigations revealed that the carbonyl-rich sites in a polymeric backbone have higher CO2 binding affinity along with very high binding energy (-39.44 KJ mol-1) compared to other aromatic carbon-rich sites. Intrigued by the best CO2 adsorption capacity and high CO2 selectivity, we have utilized the VM-COF for biogas purification produced by the biofermentation of municipal waste. Compared with the commercially available activated carbon, VM-COF exhibited much better purification ability. This opens up a new opportunity for the creation of functionalized nanoporous materials for the large-scale purification of waste-generated biogases to address the challenges associated with energy and the environment.

Abstract
Herein, three In(III)-based metal-organic frameworks (In-MOFs) with different degrees of interpenetration (DOI), namely In-MOF-1, In-MOF-2, and In-MOF-3, constructed by In3+ and Y-shaped ligands 4,4',4″-s-triazine-2,4,6-triyltribenzoate (H3TATB), are successfully synthesized through the ionothermal/solvothermal method. Subsequently, three novel In-MOFs, including noninterpenetration polycatenation, 2-fold interpenetrated, and 4-fold interpenetrated structure, are employed as the platform for systematically investigating the separation efficiency of CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, and CO2/CH4/N2 mixture gas system. Among them, In-MOF-2 shows the highest CO2 uptake capacities at 298 K and simultaneously possesses the low adsorption enthalpy of CO2 (26.4 kJ/mol at low coverage), a feature desirable for low-energy-cost adsorbent regeneration. The CO2/N2 (v: v = 15/85) selectivity of In-MOF-2 reaches 37.6 (at 298 K and 1 bar), also revealing outstanding selective separation ability from flue gases and purifying natural gas, affording a unique robust separation material as it has moderate DOI and pore size. In-MOF-2 shows exceptional stability and feasibility to achieve reproducibility. Aperture adjustment makes In-MOF-2 a versatile platform for selectively capturing CO2 from flue gases or purifying natural gas.

Abstract
In this work, the effects of finite size on the determination of the three-phase coexistence temperature (T3) of the carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrate have been studied by molecular dynamic simulations and using the direct coexistence technique. According to this technique, the three phases involved (hydrate-aqueous solution-liquid CO2) are placed together in the same simulation box. By varying the number of molecules of each phase, it is possible to analyze the effect of simulation size and stoichiometry on the T3 determination. In this work, we have determined the T3 value at 8 different pressures (from 100 to 6000 bar) and using 6 different simulation boxes with different numbers of molecules and sizes. In two of these configurations, the ratio of the number of water and CO2 molecules in the aqueous solution and the liquid CO2 phase is the same as in the hydrate (stoichiometric configuration). In both stoichiometric configurations, the formation of a liquid drop of CO2 in the aqueous phase is observed. This drop, which has a cylindrical geometry, increases the amount of CO2 available in the aqueous solution and can in some cases lead to the crystallization of the hydrate at temperatures above T3, overestimating the T3 value obtained from direct coexistence simulations. The simulation results obtained for the CO2 hydrate confirm the sensitivity of T3 depending on the size and composition of the system, explaining the discrepancies observed in the original work by Míguez et al. [J. Chem Phys. 142, 124505 (2015)]. Non-stoichiometric configurations with larger unit cells show a convergence of T3 values, suggesting that finite-size effects for these system sizes, regardless of drop formation, can be safely neglected. The results obtained in this work highlight that the choice of a correct initial configuration is essential to accurately estimate the three-phase coexistence temperature of hydrates by direct coexistence simulations.

Abstract
In this work, we introduced COFInformatics, a computational approach merging molecular simulations and machine learning (ML) algorithms, to evaluate all synthesized and hypothetical covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for the CO2/CH4 mixture separation under four different adsorption-based processes: pressure swing adsorption (PSA), vacuum swing adsorption (VSA), temperature swing adsorption (TSA), and pressure-temperature swing adsorption (PTSA). We first extracted structural, chemical, energy-based, and graph-based molecular fingerprint features of every single COF structure in the very large COF space, consisting of nearly 70,000 materials, and then performed grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the CO2/CH4 mixture adsorption properties of 7540 COFs. These features and simulation results were used to develop ML models that accurately and rapidly predict CO2/CH4 mixture adsorption and separation properties of all 68,614 COFs. The most efficient separation process and the best adsorbent candidates among the entire COF spectrum were identified and analyzed in detail to reveal the most important molecular features that lead to high-performance adsorbents. Our results showed that (i) many hypoCOFs outperform synthesized COFs by achieving higher CO2/CH4 selectivities; (ii) the top COF adsorbents consist of narrow pores and linkers comprising aromatic, triazine, and halogen groups; and (iii) PTSA is the most efficient process to use COF adsorbents for natural gas purification. We believe that COFInformatics promises to expedite the evaluation of COF adsorbents for CO2/CH4 separation, thereby circumventing the extensive, time- and resource-intensive molecular simulations.

Abstract
Herein, we propose an oxygen-containing species coordination strategy to boost CO2 electroreduction in the presence of O2. A two-dimensional (2D) conjugated metal-covalent organic framework (MCOF), denoted as NiPc-Salen(Co)2-COF that is composed of the Ni-phthalocyanine (NiPc) unit with well-defined Ni-N4-O sites and the salen(Co)2 moiety with binuclear Co-N2O2 sites, is developed and synthesized for enhancing the CO2RR under aerobic condition. In the presence of O2, one of the Co sites in the NiPc-Salen(Co)2-COF that coordinated with the intermediate of *OOH from ORR could decrease the energy barrier of the activation of CO2 molecules and stabilize the key intermediate *COOH of the CO2RR over the adjacent Co center. Besides, the oxygen species axially coordinated Ni-N4-O sites can favor in reducing the energy barrier of the intermediate *COOH formation for the CO2RR. Thus, NiPc-Salen(Co)2-COF exhibits high oxygen-tolerant CO2RR performance and achieves outstanding CO Faradaic efficiency (FECO) of 97.2 % at -1.0 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a high CO partial current density of 40.3 mA cm-2 at -1.1 V in the presence of 0.5 % O2, which is superior to that in pure CO2 feed gas (FECO=94.8 %, jCO=19.9 mA cm-2). Notably, the NiPc-Salen(Co)2-COF achieves an industrial-level current density of 128.3 mA cm-2 in the flow-cell reactor with 0.5 % O2 at -0.8 V, which is higher than that in pure CO2 atmosphere (jCO=104.8 mA cm-2). It is worth noting that an excellent FECO of 86.8 % is still achieved in the presence of 5 % O2 at -1.0 V. This work provides an effective strategy to enable the CO2RR under O2 atmosphere by utilizing the *OOH intermediates of ORR to boost CO2 electroreduction.

Fakhfakh N, Ltaief OO, Dammak N, Siffert S, Benzina M. New zeolite made from Tunisian raw clay: study and modeling for C 3H 6 breakthrough dynamic adsorption onto zeolite material. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:29357-29373. [PMID: 38573574 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-32970-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
In this study, Tunisian raw clay (RC) was utilized as a cheap source of silicium and aluminum for the preparation of faujasite zeolite (FAUsyn) using the alkaline fusion technique. The zeolite's structural analysis was carried out using the XRD, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, and SEM-EDX techniques. The data collected demonstrate that the produced zeolite only included one homogeneous faujasite phase. Textural analysis shows that the FAUsyn prepared from RC has a hierarchical porosity (micro-, meso-, and macropores). The total porosity was found to be 0.33 cm3/g as well as the BET area was equal to 360 m2/g. Adsorption experiments for propene capture were performed using the FAUsyn as adsorbent material. The performance of the column was examined in relation to various parameter impacts, including flow rate (50, 100, and 150 mL/min), input concentration (4, 8, and 12 mg/L), and bed depth (10, 14, and 18 cm). Finally, experimental and theoretical studies were investigated to predict adsorption capacities and kinetics parameters. To clarify and estimate column inputs, a model that incorporates axial dispersion, Langmuir equation, and migration within the adsorbent's pore was improved. COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to execute the model and resolve it computationally. The results of the experiments and the expected breakthrough curves were very well agreed. Modeling obtained results can be extrapolated to industrial level.

Abstract
As a cost-effective advancement in membrane technology, this study investigates the impact of PEG additive and CBT on the structural, stability, and gas permeance properties of PES-coated membranes, utilizing 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid ([DDMI][Cl] IL) as a carrier liquid. BET and FT-IR analyses highlight the significant enhancement in performance through the immobilization of pores with [DDMIM][Cl] IL. The investigation focuses on PES-M5-coated membranes, revealing excellent stability in finger-like pore structures prepared through direct immersion and nitrogen pressure immobilization. PES-M5-coated membranes with [DDMIM][Cl] IL via direct immersion experience lower weight loss than those coated using nitrogen pressure, with critical pressures at 1.4 and 1.25 bar, respectively. The study identifies PES-coated membranes, particularly PES-M25 (20.88 GPU) with macro-void pores and PES-M5 (29 GPU) with finger-like pores, exhibiting the highest CO2 permeance and CO2/N2 selectivity. As a cost-effective advancement in membrane technology, ionic liquids are employed in support membranes to enhance gas separation. Employing pure PES membranes with varying pore structures, created through the NIPS method, the study immobilizes [DDMI][Cl] IL in membrane pores through nitrogen pressure and direct immersion. Results underscore the successful application of porous support materials coated with ionic liquids for continuous CO2 and sulfur compound separation, showcasing competitive permeability and selectivity compared to traditional polymer membranes.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:7937-7957. [PMID: 38405476 PMCID: PMC10882694 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
In the context of global climate change, significant attention is being directed toward renewable energy and the pivotal role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. These innovations involve secure CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers through structural and capillary processes, with the interfacial tension (IFT) of the CO2-brine system influencing the storage capacity of formations. In this study, an extensive data set of 2811 experimental data points was compiled to model the IFT of impure and pure CO2-brine systems. Three white-box machine learning (ML) methods, namely, genetic programming (GP), gene expression programming (GEP), and group method of data handling (GMDH) were employed to establish accurate mathematical correlations. Notably, the study utilized two distinct modeling approaches: one focused on impurity compositions and the other incorporating a pseudocritical temperature variable (Tcm) offering a versatile predictive tool suitable for various gas mixtures. Among the correlation methods explored, GMDH, employing five inputs, exhibited exceptional accuracy and reliability across all metrics. Its mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values for testing, training, and complete data sets stood at 7.63, 7.31, and 7.38%, respectively. In the case of six-input models, the GEP correlation displayed the highest precision, with MAPE values of 9.30, 8.06, and 8.31% for the testing, training, and total data sets, respectively. The sensitivity and trend analyses revealed that pressure exerted the most significant impact on the IFT of CO2-brine, showcasing an adverse effect. Moreover, an impurity possessing a critical temperature below that of CO2 resulted in an elevated IFT. Consequently, this relationship leads to higher impurity concentrations aligning with lower Tcm values and subsequently elevated IFT. Also, monovalent and divalent cation molalities exhibited a growing influence on the IFT, with divalent cations exerting approximately double the influence of monovalent cations. Finally, the Leverage approach confirmed both the reliability of the experimental data and the robust statistical validity of the best correlations established in this study.

Abstract
Electrified converting CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals using a homogeneous electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2ER) approach simplifies the operation, providing a potential option for decoupling energy harvesting and renewable chemical production. These merits benefit the scenarios where decentralization and intermittent power are key factors. This perspective aims to provide an overview of recent progress in homogeneous CO2ER. We introduce firstly the fundamentals chemistry of the homogeneous CO2ER, followed by a summary of the crucial factors and the important criteria broadly employed for evaluating the performance. We then highlight the recent advances in the most widely explored transition-metal coordinate complexes for the C1 and multicarbon (C2+) products from homogeneous CO2ER. Finally, we summarize the remaining challenges and opportunities for developing homogeneous electrocatalysts for efficient CO2ER. This perspective is expected to favor the rational design of efficient homogeneous electrocatalysts for selective CO2ER toward renewable fuels and feedstocks.

Abstract
Under-oil open microfluidic system, utilizing liquid-liquid boundaries for confinements, offers inherent advantages including clogging-free flow channels, flexible access to samples, and adjustable gas permeation, making it well-suited for studying multi-phase chemical reactions that are challenging for closed microfluidics. However, reports on the novel system have primarily focused on device fabrication and functionality demonstrations within biology, leaving their application in broader chemical analysis underexplored. Here, we present a visualization-enhanced under-oil open microfluidic system for in situ characterization of multi-phase chemical reactions with Raman spectroscopy. The enhanced system utilizes a semi-transparent silicon (Si) nanolayer over the substrate to enhance visualization in both inverted and upright microscope setups while reducing Raman noise from the substrate. We validated the system's chemical stability and capability to monitor gas evolution and gas-liquid reactions in situ. The enhanced under-oil open microfluidic system, integrating Raman spectroscopy, offers a robust open-microfluidic platform for label-free molecular sensing and real-time chemical/biochemical process monitoring in multi-phase systems.

Abstract
Adsorptive atmospheric water harvesting systems (AWHs) represent an innovative approach to collecting freshwater resources from the atmosphere, with a hygroscopic agent at their core. This method has garnered significant attention due to its broad applicability, strong recycling capacity, and sustainability. It is being positioned as a key technology to address global freshwater scarcity. The core agent's hygroscopic properties play a crucial role in determining the performance of the AWHs. This article provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in hygroscopic agents, including their adsorption mechanisms and classifications. This study of hygroscopic agents analyzes the performance and characteristics of relevant porous material composite polymer composites and plant composites. It also evaluates the design and preparation of these materials. Aiming at the problems of low moisture adsorption and desorption difficulty of the hygroscopic agent, the factors affecting the water vapor adsorption performance and the method of enhancing the hygroscopic performance of the material are summarized and put forward. For the effect of hygroscopic agents on the volume of water catchment devices, the difference in density before and after hygroscopicity is proposed as part of the evaluation criteria. Moisture absorption per unit volume is added as a performance evaluation criterion to assess the effect of hygroscopic agents on the volume of water collection equipment. The article identifies areas that require further research and development for moisture absorbers, exploring their potential applications in other fields and anticipating the future development direction and opportunities of moisture-absorbing materials. The goal is to promote the early realization of adsorptive atmospheric water harvesting technology for large-scale industrial applications.

Abstract
The sustainable development encompasses the search for new materials for energy storage, gas capture, separation, and solvents in industrial processes that can substitute conventional ones in an efficient and clean manner. Ionic liquids (ILs) emerged and have been advanced as alternative materials for such applications, but an obstacle is their hygroscopicity and the effects on their physical properties in the presence of humidity. Several industrial processes depend on the aqueous interfacial properties, and the main focus of this work is the water/IL interface. The behavior of the aqueous ionic liquids at the water-vacuum interface is representative for their water interfacial properties. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with molecular dynamics simulations we investigate four aqueous IL systems, and provide molecular level insight on the interfacial behaviour of the ionic liquids, such as ion-pair formation, orientation and surface concentration. We find that ionic liquids containing a chloride anion have a lowered surface enrichment due to the low surface propensity of chloride. In contrast, the ionic liquids containing a bistriflimide anion are extremely surface-enriched due to cooperative surface propensity between the cations and anions, forming a two-dimensional ionic liquid on the water surface at low concentrations.

Abstract
Nanocellulose-based aerogels have been considered as one of the ideal candidates for CO2 capture in practical applications owing to their lightweight and porous properties. Additionally, various adsorbents with amine groups have been widely used as effective CO2 capture and storage strategies. Herein, amino-functionalized aerogels were prepared by sol-gel and freeze-drying methods using two typical nanocelluloses (cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)) as substrates. In addition, the reaction parameters for grafting and amino functionalization were optimized. The CNC and CNF aerogels could be easily modified by the hydrothermal growth of the amino group, and they exhibited attractive properties in terms of CO2 adsorption, recyclability, thermal stability, hydrophobicity, and CO2/CH4 mixture separation. The amino-functionalized CNF aerogel exhibited superior performance to the CNC aerogel, which was attributed to the increased cross-linking binding sites for hydrogen bonding in the CNF aerogel. The results of this study indicated that amino-functionalized nanocellulose aerogels can be considered a promising biodegradable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly material for CO2 capture and removal of CO2 from CH4.

Abstract
The ligand attribute of biomolecules to form coordination bonds with metal ions led to the discovery of a novel class of materials called biomolecule-associated metal-organic frameworks (Bio-MOFs). These biomolecules coordinate in multiple ways and provide versatile applications. Far-spread bio-ligands include nucleobases, amino acids, peptides, cyclodextrins, saccharides, porphyrins/metalloporphyrin, proteins, etc. Low-toxicity, self-assembly, stability, designable and selectable porous size, the existence of rigid and flexible forms, bio-compatibility, and synergistic interactions between metal ions have led Bio-MOFs to be commercialized in industries such as sensors, food, pharma, and eco-sensing. The rapid growth and commercialization are stunted by absolute bio-compatibility issues, bulk morphology that makes it rigid to alter shape/porosity, longer reaction times, and inadequate research. This review elucidates the structural vitality, biocompatibility issues, and vital sensing applications, including challenges for incorporating bio-ligands into MOF. Critical innovations in Bio-MOFs' applicative spectrum, including sustainable food packaging, biosensing, insulin and phosphoprotein detection, gas sensing, CO2 capture, pesticide carriers, toxicant adsorptions, etc., have been elucidated. Emphasis is placed on biosensing and biomedical applications with biomimetic catalysis and sensitive sensor designing.

Abstract
Climate change caused by excessive CO2 emissions constitutes an increasingly dire threat to human life. Reducing CO2 emissions alone may not be sufficient to address this issue, so that the development of emerging adsorbents for the direct capture of CO2 from the air becomes essential. Here, we apply amyloid fibrils derived from different food proteins as the solid adsorbent support and develop aminosilane-modified amyloid fibril-templated aerogels for CO2 capture applications. The results indicate that the CO2 sorption properties of the aerogels depend on the mixing ratio of aminosilane featuring different amine groups and the type of amyloid fibril used. Notably, amine-functionalized β-lactoglobulin (BLG) fibril-templated aerogels show the highest CO2 adsorption capacity of 51.52 mg (1.17 mmol) CO2 /g at 1 bar CO2 and 25.5 mg (0.58 mmol) CO2 /g at 400 ppm; similarly, the CO2 adsorption capacity of chitosan-BLG fibril hybrid aerogels is superior to that of pure chitosan. This study provides a proof-of-concept design for an amyloid fibril-templated hybrid material facilitating applications of protein-based adsorbents for CO2 capture, including direct air capture.

Abstract
Acid gases including CO2, OCS, CS2, and SO2 are emitted by industrial processes such as natural gas production or power plants, leading to the formation of acid rain and contributing to global warming as greenhouse gases. An important technological challenge is to capture acid gases and transform them into useful products. The capture of CO2, CS2, SO2, and OCS by ring expansion of saturated and unsaturated substituted nitrogen-strained ring heterocycles was computationally investigated at the G3(MP2) level. The effects of fluorine, methyl, and phenyl substituents on N and/or C were explored. The reactions for the capture CO2, CS2, SO2, and OCS by 3- and 4-membered N-heterocycles are exothermic, whereas ring expansion reactions with 5-membered rings are thermodynamically unfavorable. Incorporation of an OCS into the ring leads to the amide product being thermodynamically favored over the thioamide. CS2 and OCS capture reactions are more exothermic and exergonic than the corresponding CO2 and SO2 capture reactions due to bond dissociation enthalpy differences. Selected reaction energy barriers were calculated and correlated with the reaction thermodynamics for a given acid gas. The barriers are highest for CO2 and OCS and lowest for CS2 and SO2. The ability of a ring to participate in acid gas capture via ring expansion is correlated to ring strain energy but is not wholly dependent upon it. The expanded N-heterocycles produced by acid gas capture should be polymerizable, allowing for upcycling of these materials.

Abstract
We present a combined computational and experimental study of CO2 activation at the Sc2O2+ metal oxide ion center in the gas phase. Density functional theory calculations on the structures of [Sc2O2(CO2)n]+ (n = 1-4) ion-molecule complexes reveal a typical end-on binding motif as well as bidentate and tridentate carbonate-containing configurations. As the number of attached CO2 molecules increases, activated forms tend to dominate the isomeric populations. Distortion energies are unveiled to account for the conversion barriers from molecularly bound isomers to carbonate structures, and show a monotonically decreasing trend with successive CO2 ligand addition. The infrared photodissociation spectra of target ion-molecule complexes were recorded in the 2100-2500 cm-1 frequency region and interpreted by comparison with simulated IR spectra of low-lying isomers representing distinct configurations, demonstrating a high possibility of carbonate structure formation in current experiments.

Abstract
As it is now established that global warming and climate change are a reality, international investments are pouring in and rightfully so for climate change mitigation. Carbon capture and separation (CCS) is therefore gaining paramount importance as it is considered one of the powerful solutions for global warming. Sorption on porous materials is a promising alternative to traditional carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture technologies. Owing to their sustainable availability, economic viability, and important recyclability, natural products-derived porous carbons have emerged as favorable and competitive materials for CO2 sorption. Furthermore, the fabrication of high-quality value-added functional porous carbon-based materials using renewable precursors and waste materials is an environmentally friendly approach. This review provides crucial insights and analyses to enhance the understanding of the application of porous carbons in CO2 capture. Various methods for the synthesis of porous carbon, their structural characterization, and parameters that influence their sorption properties are discussed. The review also delves into the utilization of molecular dynamics (MD), Monte Carlo (MC), density functional theory (DFT), and machine learning techniques for simulating adsorption and validating experimental results. Lastly, the review provides future outlook and research directions for progressing the use of natural products-derived porous carbons for CO2 capture.

Abstract
Multifunctional surface-active polymeric composites are attractive materials for the adsorption of various small molecules. Herein, dual-functionalized micron-sized surface-active composite polymer particles were prepared by a three-step process for CO2 adsorption. First, polystyrene (PS) seed particles were prepared via the dispersion polymerization of styrene. PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA) composite polymer particles were then synthesized by aqueous seeded copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and acrylamide (AAm) in the presence of an ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) cross-linker. Finally, the amide moieties of PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA) composite particles were converted into an amine-functionalized composite by using the Hofmann degradation reaction. The presence of primary amine groups on the surface of aminated composite particles was confirmed by some conventional chemical routes, such as diazotization and Schiff's base formation reactions. The formation and functionality of the PS seed, PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA), and aminated PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA) composite polymer particles were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra analyses. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed spherical shape, size, and surface morphologies of the PS seed, reference composite, and aminated composites. The elemental surface compositions, surface porosity, pore volume, pore diameter, and surface area of both composite particles were evaluated by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) analyses. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and ζ-potential measurements confirmed the pH-dependent surface properties of the functionalized particles. The amount of the adsorbed anionic emulsifier, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), on the surface of aminated PS/P(MMA-AAm-EGDMA) is higher at pH 4 than that at pH 10. A vice versa result was found in the case of cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTABr), adsorption. Synthesized aminated composite particles were used as an adsorbent for CO2 adsorption via bubbling CO2 in an aqueous medium. The changes in dispersion pH were monitored continuously during the adsorption of CO2 under various conditions. The amount of CO2 adsorption by aminated composite particles was found to be 209 mg/g, which is almost double that of reference composite particles.

Abstract
ConspectusThe rising levels of atmospheric CO2 and their resulting impacts on the climate have necessitated the urgent development of effective carbon capture technologies. Electrochemical carbon capture systems have emerged as a potential alternative to conventional thermal systems based on amine solutions due to their modularity, energy efficiency, and lower environmental impact. Among these, aqueous electrochemical pH swing systems that capitalize on the pH dependence of dissolved inorganic carbon (CO2/HCO3-/CO32-) speciation to capture and release CO2 are of particular interest as they can be flexible in system design and in the range of electrochemical potentials used as well as being environmentally benign. In this Account, we present our recent findings in pH swing-based electrochemical carbon capture using redox-active materials, paving the way toward a sustainable solution for mitigating CO2 emissions.In the first section, we discuss the utilization of molecular redox-active organic materials in electrochemical carbon capture by the pH swing method. This electrochemical system configuration involves homogeneous aqueous electrolytes containing molecular redox-active compounds combined with inert carbon-based electrodes. We first present the development of redox-active amine and oxygen-insensitive neutral red (NR)-based systems. Notably, the discovery of 1-aminopyridinium (1-AP) as an electrochemically reversible compound enables efficient pH swing, leading to an impressive electron utilization of 1.25 mol of CO2 per mole of electrons. Additionally, we explore an oxygen-insensitive neutral red/leuconeutral red (NR/NRH2) redox system, which demonstrates potential applicability to direct air capture (DAC) systems with ambient air as a feed gas.The second section focuses on the utilization of inorganic nanomaterials for redox-active electrodes for pH swing-based electrochemical carbon capture. In this system configuration, we employ redox-active electrodes for inducing reversible pH swings in aqueous electrolytes without interrupting other ionic species, except protons. Specifically, we explore the effectiveness of manganese oxide (MnO2) electrodes for achieving selective CO2 removal from simulated flue gas. We then demonstrate a bismuth/silver (Bi/BiOCl, Ag/AgCl) nanoparticle electrode system as a sodium-insensitive pH swing system for extracting dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from simulated seawater with high electrochemical energy efficiency.Overall, these advances in pH swing-based electrochemical carbon capture offer promising preliminary solutions for combating climate change by capturing CO2 from dilute sources such as flue gas and ambient air as well as enabling direct carbon removal from ocean water. While these systems have demonstrated impressive energy efficiency and environmental benefits using redox-active materials, they represent only the beginning of our research journey. Further development and optimization are currently underway as we strive to unlock their full potential for large-scale implementation, paving the way toward a sustainable and carbon-neutral future.

Abstract
This paper consists of a deep analysis and data comparison of the main strategies undertaken for achieving truly reversible capture of carbon dioxide involving optimized gas uptakes while affording weakest retention strength. So far, most strategies failed because the estimated amount of CO2 produced by equivalent energy was higher than that captured. A more viable and sustainable approach in the present context of a persistent fossil fuel-dependent economy should be based on a judicious compromise between effective CO2 capture with lowest energy for adsorbent regeneration. The most relevant example is that of so-called promising technologies based on amino adsorbents which unavoidably require thermal regeneration. In contrast, OH-functionalized adsorbents barely reach satisfactory CO2 uptakes but act as breathing surfaces affording easy gas release even under ambient conditions or in CO2-free atmospheres. Between these two opposite approaches, there should exist smart approaches to tailor CO2 retention strength even at the expense of the gas uptake. Among these, incorporation of zero-valent metal and/or OH-enriched amines or amine-enriched polyol species are probably the most promising. The main findings provided by the literature are herein deeply and systematically analysed for highlighting the main criteria that allow for designing ideal CO2 adsorbent properties.

Abstract
The accumulation of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere causes global warming. Global efforts are carried out to prevent temperature overshooting and limit the increase in the Earth's surface temperature to 1.5 °C. Carbon dioxide and methane are the largest contributors to global warming. We have synthesized copper-aluminium layered double hydroxide (Cu-Al LDH) catalysts by urea hydrolysis under microwave (MW) irradiation. The effect of MW power, urea concentration, and MII/MIII ratios was studied. The physicochemical properties of the prepared LDH catalysts were characterized by several analysis techniques. The results confirmed the formation of the layered structure with the intercalation of urea-derived anions. The urea-derived anions enhanced the optical and photocatalytic properties of the nano Cu-Al LDH in the visible-light region. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared Cu-Al LDH catalysts was tested for greenhouse gas conversion (CH4, CO2, and H2O) under visible light. The dynamic gas mixture flow can pass through the reactor at room temperature under atmospheric pressure. The results show a high conversion percentage for both CO2 and CH4. The highest converted amounts were 7.48 and 1.02 mmol mL-1 g-1 for CH4 and CO2, respectively, under the reaction conditions. The main product was formaldehyde with high selectivity (>99%). The results also show the stability of the catalysts over several cycles. The current work represents a green chemistry approach for efficient photocatalyst synthesis, visible light utilization, and GHGs' conversion into a valuable product.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an available, abundant, and renewable C1 resource, which could be converted into value-added chemicals. Due to its inherent thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness, it is difficult to realize its efficient utilization. Nevertheless, many elegant strategies for the utilization of CO2 have been developed using Lewis bases, frustrated Lewis pairs, hydroxyl-containing compounds, amino-group-containing compounds or transition metal catalysis. Among them, base-mediated carboxylation of C-nucleophiles is an environmentally friendly strategy for CO2 conversion, which is operationally simple, using low-toxicity bases and economical available promoters, without the use of complex ligands or cocatalysts. This review summarizes related work on the base-mediated carboxylation of C-nucleophiles with CO2, based on the effects of nucleophiles, promoters, additives, and solvents. The types of pronucleophile are categorized as follows: hydrocarbon with C(sp3)-H, C(sp2)-H or C(sp)-H bonds, organosilanes, organotin, organoboron, and N-tosylhydrazones. Typical mechanisms and applications of these carboxylation reactions are also depicted. Moreover, mechanistic comprehension of CO2 activation and conversion at a molecular level aims to further expand the repertoire of carboxylation transformations mediated by bases.

Abstract
The adsorption equilibria and kinetic performance of CO2, CH4, and N2 on pelletized cation-exchanged faujasite zeolites (with alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metal ions) have been investigated by an innovative volumetric apparatus simultaneously. The standard instrumental analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), were utilized to characterize binder-free modified zeolites. EDX and AAS analyses revealed that the ion exchange was successfully achieved. The results indicate that the type of cation present in the zeolite framework and the Si/Al ratio can have a significant impact on the adsorption capacity and kinetic performance. The obtained isotherms were determined by three isotherm models, and the Langmuir-Freundlich (Sips) model was found to show the best agreement with the experimental isotherm data for all gases. The CO2 uptakes of KX, MgX, and CaX reached 4.13, 4.79, and 5.48 mmol/g, respectively. The effective binary and kinetic selectivities of CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 were also calculated. Among all samples, KX showed the highest CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 selectivities of 54.46 and 91.62, respectively. Pseudo-first-, pseudo-second-order, and Avrami kinetic models were fitted to the experimental kinetic data to analyze the adsorption kinetics. Finally, the macropore diffusion coefficient (Dp) and microporous diffusional time constant (Dc/rc2) were estimated by correlating the micropore-macropore kinetic model with the experimental fractional uptake curves. Among the ion-exchanged zeolite samples, the K+ form exhibits a suitable performance in terms of kinetic behavior and adsorption capacity.

Abstract
ConspectusCarbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) is a means to enable the continued use of fossil fuels in the short term. In particular, postcombustion CO2 capture has attracted considerable attention because it can be retrofitted into existing power plants and industrial plants. Among various CO2 capture technologies, the absorption of CO2 using aqueous amines has been industrially employed for decades. However, such amine scrubbing technologies have inherent limitations of environmental and health concerns due to volatile amine loss, corrosion, and high energy demands for regeneration. To overcome these limitations, CO2 adsorption using solid adsorbents has emerged as a promising alternative due to its noncorrosiveness and low energy demand. Various amine-containing adsorbents have been synthesized and investigated for postcombustion CO2 capture. These materials are prepared by physically impregnating low-vapor-pressure amine polymers or by chemically grafting amines onto nanoporous materials. A wide variety of amine guests and nanoporous hosts (e.g., SiO2, Al2O3, zeolites, MOFs, and polymers) have been combined to develop advanced CO2 adsorbents.The design of CO2 adsorbents is a multifaceted puzzle that must ultimately consider integration with large-scale CO2 capture processes. Various engineering aspects need to be carefully considered. Unfortunately, a significant proportion of previous studies has primarily focused on the use of novel materials for improving the CO2 adsorption capacity. In this Account, we describe key challenges and solutions to develop energy-efficient and stable amine-containing adsorbents for postcombustion CO2 capture via temperature swing adsorption (TSA). We found that a high CO2 working capacity, often overemphasized in the literature, does not necessarily guarantee a low energy demand for CO2 capture. Suppressing coadsorption of H2O during the CO2 adsorption in humid flue gas is also a significant factor. Amine-containing adsorbents can be degraded through various pathways, including hydrothermal degradation of nanoporous hosts and chemical degradation of amine guests via urea formation and oxidation. To inhibit such degradation pathways, it is extremely important to properly design the nanoporous structures of the hosts and the molecular structures of the amine guests. By combining macroporous silica hosts, poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) functionalized with various alkyl epoxides, and phosphate-based oxidative stabilizers, we could synthesize adsorbents exhibiting low energy demands for CO2 capture and unprecedentedly high thermochemical stability under TSA conditions. The macroporous silica host synthesized by assembling fumed silica particles via spray-drying exhibited high hydrothermal stability and enabled uniform distribution of bulky amine polymers within its pores. The functionalization of PEI with alkyl epoxides converted its primary amines into hindered secondary amines, leading to a significant reduction in energy demand for TSA cycles and a remarkable improvement in long-term stabilities. The oxidative stability of amines could be drastically improved by adding phosphate metal-binding reagents, which can poison ppm-level metal impurities that catalyze amine oxidation. The present discussions will provide important insights into designing practical adsorbents for CO2 capture from engineering perspectives.

Abstract
We found that our optically CO2 -responsive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer rapidly and reversibly underwent both visible and fluorescent color changes in the presence of CO2 gas. Unlike conventional optically CO2 -responsive polymeric materials, it functions in totally dry gaseous conditions. The visible color and fluorescence of the elastomer sheet change after only 1 min of exposure to CO2 , and the sheet exhibits excellent repeatability in terms of color switching that persists for at least 20 times.

Abstract
By employing a recently proposed Hubbard U density-corrected scheme within density functional theory, we provide design principles towards the design of materials exhibiting a spin crossover-assisted gas release. Small molecular fragments are used as case study to identify two main mechanisms behind the change in binding energy upon spin transitions. The feasibility of the proposed mechanism in porous crystals is assessed by correlating the change in binding energy of CO2, CO, N2, and H2, upon spin crossover, with the adiabatic energy difference associated with the spin state change of the square-planar metal in Hofmann-type clathrates (M = Fe, Mn, Ni). A few promising cases are identified for the adsorption of intermediate ligand field strength molecules such as N2 and H2. The latter stands out as the most original result as the strong interaction in low spin, as expected from a Kubas mechanism, results in a large change in binding energy. This work provides a general perspective towards the engineering of open-metal site frameworks exhibiting local environments designed to have a spin crossover upon adsorption of specific gas molecules.

Abstract
ConspectusSolid-supported amines are a promising class of CO2 sorbents capable of selectively capturing CO2 from diverse sources. The chemical interactions between the amine groups and CO2 give rise to the formation of strong CO2 adducts, such as alkylammonium carbamates, carbamic acids, and bicarbonates, which enable CO2 capture even at low driving force, such as with ultradilute CO2 streams. Among various solid-supported amine sorbents, oligomeric amines infused into oxide solid supports (noncovalently supported) are widely studied due to their ease of synthesis and low cost. This method allows for the construction of amine-rich sorbents while minimizing problems, such as leaching or evaporation, that occur with supported molecular amines.Researchers have pursued improved sorbents by tuning the physical and chemical properties of solid supports and amine phases. In terms of CO2 uptake, the amine efficiency, or the moles of sorbed CO2 per mole of amine sites, and uptake rate (CO2 capture per unit time) are the most critical factors determining the effectiveness of the material. While structure-property relationships have been developed for different porous oxide supports, the interaction(s) of the amine phase with the solid support, the structure and distribution of the organic phase within the pores, and the mobility of the amine phase within the pores are not well understood. These factors are important, because the kinetics of CO2 sorption, particularly when using the prototypical amine oligomer branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI), follow an unconventional trend, with rapid initial uptake followed by a very slow, asymptotic approach to equilibrium. This suggests that the uptake of CO2 within such solid-supported amines is mass transfer-limited. Therefore, improving sorption performance can be facilitated by better understanding the amine structure and distribution within the pores.In this context, model solid-supported amine sorbents were constructed from a highly ordered, mesoporous silica SBA-15 support, and an array of techniques was used to probe the soft matter domains within these hybrid materials. The choice of SBA-15 as the model support was based on its ordered arrangement of mesopores with tunable physical and chemical properties, including pore size, particle lengths, and surface chemistries. Branched PEI─the most common amine phase used in solid CO2 sorbents─and its linear, low molecular weight analogue, tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), were deployed as the amine phases. Neutron scattering (NS), including small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS), alongside solid-state NMR (ssNMR) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, was used to elucidate the structure and mobility of the amine phases within the pores of the support. Together, these tools, which have previously not been applied to such materials, provided new information regarding how the amine phases filled the support pores as the loading increased and the mobility of those amine phases. Varying pore surface-amine interactions led to unique trends for amine distributions and mobility; for instance, hydrophilic walls (i.e., attractive to amines) resulted in hampered motions with more intimate coordination to the walls, while amines around hydrophobic walls or walls with grafted chains that interrupt amine-wall coordination showed recovered mobility, with amines being more liberated from the walls. By correlating the structural and dynamic properties with CO2 sorption properties, novel relationships were identified, shedding light on the performance of the amine sorbents, and providing valuable guidance for the design of more effective supported amine sorbents.

Abstract
ConspectusAs renewable energy and CO2 utilization technologies progress to make a more significant contribution to global emissions reduction, carbon capture remains a critical component of the mission. Current CO2 capture technologies involve operations at point sources such as fossil fuel-based power plants or source-agnostic like in direct air capture. Each strategy has its own advantages and limitations, but in common, they all employ sorption-based methods with the use of sorbents strongly adhering to CO2. Amine solutions are the most widely used absorbents for industrial operations due to the robust chemical bonds formed between amines and CO2 under both dry and humid conditions, rendering excellent selectivity. Such strong binding, however, causes problematic regeneration. In contrast, purely physisorptive porous materials with high surface areas allow for the confinement of CO2 inside narrow pores/channels and have a lower regeneration energy demand but with decreased selectivity and capacity. The most promising solution would then be the unification of both types of sorbents in one system, which could bring about a practical adsorption-desorption process. In other words, the development of porous solid materials with tunable amine content is necessary to leverage the high contact surface of porous sorbents with the added ability to manipulate amine incorporation toward lower CO2 binding strength.To answer the call to uncover the most feasible amine chemistry in carbon capture, our group has devoted intense effort to the study of amine-based CO2 adsorbents for the past decade. Oriented along practicality, we put forth a principle for the design of our materials to be produced in no more than three synthetic steps with economically viable starting materials. Porous organic polymers with amine functionalities of various substitutions, meaning primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, were synthesized and studied for CO2 adsorption. Direct synthesis proved to be feasibly applicable for secondary and tertiary amine-incorporated porous polymers whereas primary-amine-based sorbents would be conveniently obtained via postsynthetic modifications. Sorbents based on tertiary amines exhibit purely physical adsorption behavior if the nitrogen atoms are placed adjacent to aromatic cores due to the conjugation effect that reduces the electron density of the amine. However, when such conjugation is inhibited, chemisorptive activity is observed. Secondary amine adsorbents, in turn, express a higher binding strength than tertiary amine counterparts, but both types can merit a strengthened binding by the physical impregnation of small-molecule amines. Sorbents with primary-amine tethers can be obtained via postsynthetic transformation of precursor functionalities, and for them, chemical adsorption is mainly at work. We conclude that mixed-amine systems could exhibit unprecedented binding mechanisms, resulting in exceptionally specific interactions that would be useful for the development of highly selective sorbents for CO2.

Abstract
The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) using sustainable energy inputs is a promising strategy for upcycling of atmospheric carbon into value-added chemical products. This goal has inspired the development of catalysts for selective and efficient CO2 conversion using electrochemical and photochemical methods. Among the diverse array of catalyst systems designed for this purpose, 2D and 3D platforms that feature porosity offer the potential to combine carbon capture and conversion. Included are covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous molecular cages, and other hybrid molecular materials developed to increase active site exposure, stability, and water compatibility while maintaining precise molecular tunability. This mini-review showcases catalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) that incorporate well-defined molecular elements integrated into porous materials structures. Selected examples provide insights into how different approaches to this overall design strategy can augment their electrocatalytic and/or photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity.

Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been an emerging and promising membrane technology to contribute to different gas separation applications including carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) separation, because of their large surface areas and distinctive gas adsorption features. In this work, the fabrication process of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based MMMs was reported, in which 0.5 to 2 wt.% of each type of (Cu, Ni)-based MOF-74 variants were incorporated into a PDMS matrix in order to achieve high CO2/N2, O2/N2, and CO2/O2 separation efficiency. These MMMs and their nanofillers (MOF-74) were extensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) along with Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) mapping, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), a single gas permeation testing system, and an ultimate tensile strength testing (UTS) unit in order to gain insight into their properties in relation to their gas separation performance. The 1 wt.% of both (Cu and Ni)-MOF-74@PDMS were selected as the most optimum MMMs due to their uniform morphology and enhanced tensile strength, which exhibited high CO2 permeabilities of 4432 Barrer (37.9% increase) and 4288 Barrer (33.5% increase), respectively. Furthermore, in the case of 1 wt.% Ni-MOF-74@PDMS, the CO2/N2, O2/N2, and CO2/O2 selectivities were also enhanced to 36.2 (141.6% increase), 3.2 (21.9% increase), and 11.25 (98.1% increase), respectively. While, in the case of 1 wt.% Cu-MOF-74@PDMS the CO2/N2 and O2/N2 selectivities showed an increment up-to 94.7 (531.5% increase) and 6.47 (145% increase), respectively, Whereas, at 0.5 wt.%, Cu-MOF-74@PDMS showed the best CO2/O2 selectivity of 25.26 (344.7% increase).

Abstract
The pursuit of efficient CO2 capture materials remains an unmet challenge. Especially, meeting both high sorption capacity and fast uptake kinetics is an ongoing effort in the development of CO2 sorbents. Here, a strategy to exploit liquid-in-aerogel porous composites (LIAPCs) that allow for highly effective CO2 capture and selective CO2 /N2 separation, is reported. Interestingly, the functional liquid tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) is partially filled into the air pockets of SiO2 aerogel with left permanent porosity. Notably, the confined liquid thickness is 10.9-19.5 nm, which can be vividly probed by the atomic force microscope and rationalized by tailoring the liquid composition and amount. LIAPCs achieve high affinity between the functional liquid and solid porous counterpart, good structure integrity, and robust thermal stability. LIAPCs exhibit superb CO2 uptake capacity (5.44 mmol g-1 , 75 °C, and 15 vol% CO2 ), fast sorption kinetics, and high amine efficiency. Furthermore, LIAPCs ensure long-term adsorption-desorption cycle stability and offer exceptional CO2 /N2 selectivity both in dry and humid conditions, with a separation factor up to 1182.68 at a humidity of 1%. This approach offers the prospect of efficient CO2 capture and gas separation, shedding light on new possibilities to make the next-generation sorption materials for CO2 utilization.

Abstract
ConspectusAdsorption using solid sorbents is emerging as a serious contender to amine-based liquid absorption for postcombustion CO2 capture. In the last 20+ years, significant efforts have been invested in developing adsorption processes for CO2 capture. In particular, significant efforts have been invested in developing new adsorbents for this application. These efforts have led to the generation of hundreds of thousands of (hypothetical and real) adsorbents, e.g., zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Identifying the right adsorbent for CO2 capture remains a challenging task. Most studies are focused on identifying adsorbents based on certain adsorption metrics. Recent studies have demonstrated that the performance of an adsorbent is intimately linked to the process in which it is deployed. Any meaningful screening should thus consider the complexity of the process. However, simulation and optimization of adsorption processes are computationally intensive, as they constitute the simultaneous propagation of heat and mass transfer fronts; the process is cyclic, and there are no straightforward design tools, thereby making large-scale process-informed screening of sorbents prohibitive.This Account discusses four papers that develop computational methods to incorporate process-based evaluation for both bottom-up (chemistry to engineering) screening problems and top-down (engineering to chemistry) inverse problems. We discuss the development of the machine-assisted adsorption process learning and emulation (MAPLE) framework, a surrogate model based on deep artificial neural networks (ANNs) that can predict process-level performance by considering both process and material inputs. The framework, which has been experimentally validated, allows for reliable, process-informed screening of large adsorbent databases. We then discuss how process engineering tools can be used beyond adsorbent screening, i.e., to estimate the practically achievable performance and cost limits of pressure vacuum swing adsorption (PVSA) processes should the ideal bespoke adsorbent be made. These studies show what conditions stand-alone PVSA processes are attractive and when they should not be considered. Finally, recent developments in physics-informed neural networks (PINNS) enable the rapid solution of complex partial differential equations, providing tools to potentially identify optimal cycle configurations. Ultimately, we provide areas where further developments are required and emphasize the need for strong collaborations between chemists and chemical engineers to move rapidly from discovery to field trials, as we do not have much time to fulfill commitments to net-zero targets.

[PMID: 37569744 PMCID: PMC10419241 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241512371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
This work focuses on porous organic polymers (POPs), which have gained significant global attention for their potential in energy storage and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. The study introduces the development of two novel porous organic polymers, namely FEC-Mel and FEC-PBDT POPs, constructed using a simple method based on the ferrocene unit (FEC) combined with melamine (Mel) and 6,6'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) (PBDT). The synthesis involved the condensation reaction between ferrocenecarboxaldehyde monomer (FEC-CHO) and the respective aryl amines. Several analytical methods were employed to investigate the physical characteristics, chemical structure, morphology, and potential applications of these porous materials. Through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), it was observed that both FEC-Mel and FEC-PBDT POPs exhibited exceptional thermal stability. FEC-Mel POP displayed a higher surface area and porosity, measuring 556 m2 g-1 and 1.26 cm3 g-1, respectively. These FEC-POPs possess large surface areas, making them promising materials for applications such as supercapacitor (SC) electrodes and gas adsorption. With 82 F g-1 of specific capacitance at 0.5 A g-1, the FEC-PBDT POP electrode has exceptional electrochemical characteristics. In addition, the FEC-Mel POP showed remarkable CO2 absorption capabilities, with 1.34 and 1.75 mmol g-1 (determined at 298 and 273 K; respectively). The potential of the FEC-POPs created in this work for CO2 capacity and electrical testing are highlighted by these results.

Abstract
The capture of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) from industrial process emissions is increasingly important for the mitigation and prevention of the disruptive effects of global warming. In this study, PAF (porous aromatic frameworks)-TPB(1,3,5-triphenylbenzene) and three-dimensional PAF-TPM (tetraphenylmethane) porphyrin-based aromatic porous materials were synthesized through the Scholl reaction. The CO2 and N2 adsorption isotherms at 273 K and 298 K were studied to determine the performance in carbon dioxide capture at flue gas conditions. There is a significant difference in the adsorption capacity of the two materials for CO2 and N2 , so they can be used for CO2 /N2 adsorption separation. PAF-TPM has better CO2 /N2 separation at low pressure (150 mbar), while PAF-TPB has the advantage of greater CO2 /N2 separation at high pressure (1 bar). It can be applied to CO2 adsorption separation at low and high pressure, respectively. In particular, PAF-TPB has a CO2 /N2 separation efficiency of up to 100.9 at 1 bar and 273 K. This work provides ideas for the design and synthesis of organic porous materials for the adsorption separation of CO2 and N2 .

Sorption of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen on Porous Hyper-Cross-Linked Aromatic Polymers: Effect of Textural Properties, Composition, and Electrostatic Interactions. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:24761-24772. [PMID: 37483180 PMCID: PMC10357451 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c07553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Porous hyper-cross-linked aromatic polymers are one of the emerging classes of porous organic polymers with the potential for industrial application. Four different porous polymeric materials have been prepared using different precursors (indole, pyrene, carbazole, and naphthalene), and the composition and textural properties were analyzed. The materials were characterized in detail using different physicochemical techniques like scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption at 77 K, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, etc. The effect of textural properties and nitrogen species on carbon dioxide and nitrogen adsorption capacities and selectivity was studied and discussed. The carbon dioxide and nitrogen adsorption capacities were measured using a volumetric gas adsorption system. The adsorption data were fitted into different adsorption models, and the ideal absorbed solution theory was used to calculate adsorption selectivity. Among the studied samples, POP-4 shows the highest carbon dioxide and nitrogen adsorption capacities. While POP-1 shows maximum CO2/N2 selectivity of 78.0 at 298 K and 1 bar pressure. It is observed that ultra-micropores, which are present in the prepared materials but not measured during conventional surface area measurement via nitrogen adsorption at 77 K, play a very important role in carbon dioxide adsorption capacity and determining the carbon dioxide selectivity over nitrogen. Surface nitrogen also increases the CO2 selectivity in the dual mode by increasing carbon dioxide adsorption via the acid-base interaction as well as by decreasing nitrogen adsorption due to N-N repulsion.
