Abstract
Amine-functionalized adsorbents offer substantial potential for CO2 capture owing to their selectivity and diverse application scenarios. However, their effectiveness is hindered by low efficiency and unstable cyclic performance. Here we introduce an amine-support system designed to achieve efficient and stable CO2 capture. Through atom-level design, each polyethyleneimine (PEI) molecule is precisely impregnated into the cage-like pore of MIL-101(Cr), forming stable composites via strong coordination with unsaturated Cr acid sites within the crystal lattice. The resulting adsorbent demonstrates a low regeneration energy (39.6 kJ/molCO2), excellent cyclic stability (0.18% decay per cycle under dry CO2 regeneration), high CO2 adsorption capacity (4.0 mmol/g), and rapid adsorption kinetics (15 min for saturation at 30 °C). These properties stem from the unique electron-level interaction between the amine and the support, effectively preventing carbamate products' dehydration. This work presents a feasible and promising cost-effective and sustainable CO2 capture strategy.

Abstract
Five- and six-membered heterocycles containing nitrogen or oxygen have been considered as privileged scaffolds in organic chemistry and the chemical industry because of their usage in high-value commodities. Herein, we report a two-dimensional (2D) Cu(II)-based MOF catalyst, IITKGP-40, via the strategic employment of ample Lewis acid-base bifunctional sites (open metal nodes and free pyrazine moieties) along the pore wall. IITKGP-40 could convert toxic CO2 to cyclic carbonates in an atom-economical manner under solvent-free conditions and aromatic aldehyde to bioactive 1,4-DHPs via Hantzsch condensation. Exceptional catalytic performance (99%) and turnover number under mild reaction conditions for CO2 fixation using sterically hindered styrene oxide, and good-to-excellent yields for a wide range of aromatic aldehydes toward 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) make IITKGP-40 promising as a multipurpose heterogeneous catalyst. Moreover, to demonstrate the practical utility of the catalyst, two biologically important drug molecules, diludine and nitrendipine analogue, have also been synthesized. IITKGP-40 is recyclable for at least three consecutive runs without significant loss of activity, making it promising for real-time applications.

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
This work studied the low-temperature sorption of carbon dioxide on impregnated silica gel. An impregnating agent was used polyethyleneimine. The content of the impregnating agent in the silica gel matrix was 33.4 wt.%. Material properties such as the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, pore distribution, total pore volume, and thermal stability of the impregnated material were determined for the sample. During the measurement of the adsorption-desorption cycles, the loss of the impregnating agent in the material matrix was also determined. Due to the decrease in the content of polyethyleneimine, the sorption capacity of the adsorbent for CO2 also decreased. It was found that after the 20th adsorption-desorption cycle, the content of the impregnating agent in the adsorbent dropped by 3.15 wt.%, and, as a result, the adsorption capacity for CO2 dropped to almost half.

Abstract
Postsynthetic modifications (PSMs) of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) play a crucial role in enhancing material performance through open metal site (OMS) functionalization or ligand exchange. However, a significant challenge persists in preserving open metal sites during ligand exchange, as these sites are inherently bound by incoming ligands. In this study, for the first time, we introduced alkoxides by exchanging bridging chloride in Ni2Cl2BTDD (BTDD=bis (1H-1,2,3,-triazolo [4,5-b],-[4',5'-i]) dibenzo[1,4]dioxin) through PSM. Rietveld refinement of synchrotron X-ray diffraction data indicated that the alkoxide oxygen atom bridges Ni(II) centers while the OMSs of the MOF are preserved. Due to the synergy of the existing OMS and introduced functional group, the alkoxide-exchanged MOFs showed CO2 uptakes superior to the pristine MOF. Remarkably, the tert-butoxide-substituted Ni_T exhibited a nearly threefold and twofold increase in CO2 uptake compared to Ni2Cl2BTDD at 0.15 and 1 bar, respectively, as well as high water stability relative to the other exchanged frameworks. Furthermore, the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations for Ni_T suggested that CO2 interacts with the OMS and the surrounding methyl groups of tert-butoxide groups, which is responsible for the enhanced CO2 capacity. This work provides a facile and unique synthetic strategy for realizing a desirable OMS-incorporating MOF platform through bridging ligand exchange.

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
The borane-functionalized (BR2) bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane (LH) ligands 1a (BR2: 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane or 9-BBN), 1b (BR2: BCy2), and 1c (BR2: B(C6F5)2) were synthesized by the allylation-hydroboration of LH. Metalation of 1a,b with ZnCl2 yielded the heteroscorpionate dichloride complexes [(1a,b)ZnCl2] 3a,b. The reaction of 1a with ZnEt2 led to the formation of the zwitterionic complex [Et(1a)ZnEt(THF)] 5. The reaction of complex 3a with two equivalents of KHBEt3 under a carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere gave rise to the formation of the dimeric bis(formate) complex [(1a)Zn(OCHO)2]2 8, in which its borane moieties intermolecularly stabilize the formate ligands of opposite metal centers. The allylated precursor Lallyl and its zinc dichloride, diethyl and bis(formate) complexes [(Lallyl)ZnCl2] 2, [(Lallyl)ZnEt2] 4, and [(Lallyl)Zn(OCHO)2] 7 were also isolated. The catalyst systems composed of 1 mol % of 3a or 3b and two equivalents of KHBEt3 hydroborated CO2 at 1 bar with pinacolborane (HBPin) to the methanol-level product H3COBPin (and PinBOBPin) in yields of 42 or 86%, respectively. The catalyst systems using the unfunctionalized complex [(LH)ZnCl2] 6 and KHBEt3 or KHBEt3/nOctBR2 (BR2: 9-BBN or BCy2) hydroborated CO2 to H3COBPin but in 2.5- to 6-fold lower activities than those exhibited by 3a,b/KHBEt3. The hydroboration of CO2 using 8 as a catalyst led to yields of 39-43%, comparable to those obtained with 3a/KHBEt3. The results confirmed that the catalytic intermediates benefit from the incorporated boranes' intra- or intermolecular stabilizations.

[PMID: 38681868 PMCID: PMC11048490 DOI: 10.1021/acs.iecr.3c02989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
The separation of CO2 from N2 remains a highly challenging task in postcombustion CO2 capture processes, primarily due to the relatively low CO2 content (3-15%) compared to that of N2 (70%). This challenge is particularly prominent for carbon-based adsorbents that exhibit relatively low selectivity. In this study, we present a successfully implemented strategy to enhance the selectivity of composite aerogels made of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and functionalized polymer particles. Considering that the CO2/N2 selectivity of the aerogels is affected on the one hand by the surface chemistry (offering more sites for CO2 capture) and fine-tuned microporosity (offering molecular sieve effect), both of these parameters were affected in situ during the synthesis process. The resulting aerogels exhibit improved CO2 adsorption capacity and a significant reduction in N2 adsorption at a temperature of 25 °C and 1 atm, leading to a more than 10-fold increase in selectivity compared to the reference material. This achievement represents the highest selectivity reported thus far for carbon-based adsorbents. Detailed characterization of the aerogel surfaces has revealed an increase in the quantity of surface oxygen functional groups, as well as an augmentation in the fractions of micropores (<2 nm) and small mesopores (<5 nm) as a result of the modified synthesis methodology. Additionally, it was found that the surface morphology of the aerogels has undergone important changes. The reference materials feature a surface rich in curved wrinkles with an approximate diameter of 100 nm, resulting in a selectivity range of 50-100. In contrast, the novel aerogels exhibit a higher degree of oxidation, rendering them stiffer and less elastic, resembling crumpled paper morphology. This transformation, along with the improved functionalization and augmented microporosity in the altered aerogels, has rendered the aerogels almost completely N2-phobic, with selectivity values ranging from 470 to 621. This finding provides experimental evidence for the theoretically predicted relationship between the elasticity of graphene-based adsorbents and their CO2/N2 selectivity performance. It introduces a new perspective on the issue of N2-phobicity. The outstanding performance achieved, including a CO2 adsorption capacity of nearly 2 mmol/g and the highest selectivity of 620, positions these composites as highly promising materials in the field of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) postcombustion technology.

Abstract
CO2 electrolyzers have progressed rapidly in energy efficiency and catalyst selectivity toward valuable chemical feedstocks and fuels, such as syngas, ethylene, ethanol, and methane. However, each component within these complex systems influences the overall performance, and the further advances needed to realize commercialization will require an approach that considers the whole process, with the electrochemical cell at the center. Beyond the cell boundaries, the electrolyzer must integrate with upstream CO2 feeds and downstream separation processes in a way that minimizes overall product energy intensity and presents viable use cases. Here we begin by describing upstream CO2 sources, their energy intensities, and impurities. We then focus on the cell, the most common CO2 electrolyzer system architectures, and each component within these systems. We evaluate the energy savings and the feasibility of alternative approaches including integration with CO2 capture, direct conversion of flue gas and two-step conversion via carbon monoxide. We evaluate pathways that minimize downstream separations and produce concentrated streams compatible with existing sectors. Applying this comprehensive upstream-to-downstream approach, we highlight the most promising routes, and outlook, for electrochemical CO2 reduction.

Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration systems design and operation optimization: Assessment and perspectives of artificial intelligence opportunities. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 917:170085. [PMID: 38224888 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) is a promising solution to decarbonize the energy and industrial sectors to mitigate climate change. An integrated assessment of technological options is required for the effective deployment of CCUS large-scale infrastructure between CO2 production and utilization/sequestration nodes. However, developing cost-effective strategies from engineering and operation perspectives to implement CCUS is challenging. This is due to the diversity of upstream emitting processes located in different geographical areas, available downstream utilization technologies, storage sites capacity/location, and current/future energy/emissions/economic conditions. This paper identifies the need to achieve a robust hybrid assessment tool for CCUS modeling, simulation, and optimization based mainly on artificial intelligence (AI) combined with mechanistic methods. Thus, a critical literature review is conducted to assess CCUS technologies and their related process modeling/simulation/optimization techniques, while evaluating the needs for improvements or new developments to reduce overall CCUS systems design and operation costs. These techniques include first principles- based and data-driven ones, i.e. AI and related machine learning (ML) methods. Besides, the paper gives an overview on the role of life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate CCUS systems where the combined LCA-AI approach is assessed. Other advanced methods based on the AI/ML capabilities/algorithms can be developed to optimize the whole CCUS value chain. Interpretable ML combined with explainable AI can accelerate optimum materials selection by giving strong rules which accelerates the design of capture/utilization plants afterwards. Besides, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) coupled with process simulations will accelerate process design/operation optimization through considering simultaneous optimization of equipment sizing and operating conditions. Moreover, generative deep learning (GDL) is a key solution to optimum capture/utilization materials design/discovery. The developed AI methods can be generalizable where the extracted knowledge can be transferred to future works to help cutting the costs of CCUS value chain.

Research Experiences via Integrating Simulations and Experiments (REVISE): A Model Collaborative Research Project for Undergraduate Students in CO 2 Sorbent Design. JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL EDUCATION 2024; 101:1096-1105.

Abstract
Undergraduate research experiences are an instrumental component of student development, increasing conceptual understanding, promoting inquiry-based learning, and guiding potential career aspirations. Moving one step further, as research continues to become more interdisciplinary, there exists potential to accelerate student growth by granting additional perspectives through collaborative research. This study demonstrates the utilization of a model collaborative research project, specifically investigating the development of sorbent technologies for efficient CO2 capture, which is an important research area for improving environmental sustainability. A model CO2 sorbent system of heteroatom-doped porous carbon is utilized to enable students to gain knowledge of adsorption processes, through combined experimental and computational investigations and learnings. A particular emphasis is placed on creating interdisciplinary learning experiences, exemplified by using density functional theory (DFT) to understand molecular interactions between doped carbon surfaces and CO2 molecules as well as explain underlying physical mechanisms that govern experimental results. The experimental observations about CO2 sorption performance of doped ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) can be correlated with simulation results, which can explain how the presence of heteroatom functional groups impact the ability of porous carbon to selectively adsorb CO2 molecules. Through an inquiry-focused approach, students were observed to couple interdisciplinary results to construct holistic explanations, while developing skills in independent research and scientific communications. This collaborative research project allows students to obtain a deeper understanding of sustainability challenges, cultivate confidence in independent research, prepare for future career paths, and most importantly, be exposed to strategies employing interdisciplinary research approaches to address scientific challenges.

Abstract
Increasing carbon dioxide emissions has sparked a growing interest in capturing these emissions at the source of their release. For such processes, amines can be used as carbon dioxide capture agents. Herein, CO2 was captured under ambient conditions using solutions of amines and polyamines in ethylene glycol. The captured solutions were then successfully hydrogenated to methanol under hydrogen pressure with a heterogeneous Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 industrial catalyst. An extensive amine scope found that tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine, with two tertiary amine sites, provided the highest methanol productivity. This reaction was then optimized to achieve up to 89% methanol yield under relatively mild conditions of 250 °C and 80 bar H2 pressure. The catalyst was shown to be recyclable over five reaction cycles.

Abstract
With ever-increasing efforts to design sorbent materials to capture carbon dioxide from flue gas and air, this perspective article is provided based on nearly a decade of collaboration across science, engineering, and industry partners. A key point learned is that a holistic view of the carbon capture problem is critical. While researchers can be inclined to value their own fields and associated metrics, often, key parameters are those that enable synergy between materials and processes. While the role of water in the chemisorption of CO2 is well-studied, in this perspective, it is hoped to highlight the often-overlooked but critical role of water in assessing the potential of a physical adsorbent for CO2 capture. This is a challenge that requires interdisciplinarity. As such, this document is written for a general audience rather than experts in any specific discipline.

Abstract
A major limitation of amine-based post-combustion carbon capture technology is the necessity to regenerate amines at high temperatures, which dramatically increases operating costs. This paper concludes the effect of solvent choice as a possible route to modify the thermodynamics and kinetics characterizing the involved amine regeneration reactions and discusses whether these modifications can be economically beneficial. We report experimentally benchmarked computational chemistry calculations of monoethanolamine regeneration reactions employing aqueous and non-aqueous solvents with a wide range of dielectric constants. Unlike previous studies, our improved computational chemistry framework could accurately reproduce the right experimental activation energy of zwitterion formation. From the thermodynamics and kinetics of the predicted reactions, the use of non-aqueous solvents with small dielectric constants led to reductions in regeneration Gibbs free energies, activation barriers, and enthalpy changes. This can reduce energy consumption and give an opportunity to run desorption columns at relatively lower temperatures, thus offering the possibility of relying on low-grade waste heat as an energy input.

Abstract
The excess level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has contributed a lot to global warming, occasioning several damages to the planet. Therefore, it is urgent to find ways to capture this gas. Then, the present work analyzed the temperature effect in CO2 absorption through deep eutectic solvents (DESs) based on urea and choline chloride using an in silico approach. The Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations indicated that the increased temperature reduced the interaction potential of carbon dioxide molecules with the DESs components, indicating that the absorption process is more favorable at 303 K. On the other hand, the Noncovalent Interactions (NCI) simulations suggest that the increased temperature reduced the strong attractions and increased repulsive interactions between the carbon dioxide molecules with the solvent analyzed. Therefore, both in silico approaches suggest that the carbon dioxide absorption is more indicated at 303 K.

Abstract
In order to reduce the impact of greenhouse gases on the environment, the development of various new CO2 capture materials has become a hot spot. In this work, a novel composite amine solid adsorbent was prepared by simultaneously using tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and 2-[2-(dimethylamino) ethoxy] ethanol (DMAEE) for amine functionalization on the polyester microsphere carrier. The introduction of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with high glass transition temperature into the polyester carrier makes the carrier microspheres have high hardness. At the same time, the carrier also contains active epoxy groups and hydrophobic glycidyl methacrylate (GMA, which can undergo ring-opening reaction with composite amines to achieve high-load and low-energy chemical grafting of amines on the carrier. The composite aminated polyester microspheres were used as an efficient adsorbent for CO2 in simulated flue gas. The results show that the synergistic effect of TEPA-DMAEE composite amine system in the adsorbent is beneficial to the improvement of CO2 capture capacity. When the total amine content in the impregnating solution is 45 wt% and the composite amine ratio is TEPA: DMAEE = 6: 4, the CO2 adsorption capacity can reach the optimal value of 2.45 mmol/ g at 70 °C. In addition, the composite amine microsphere adsorbent has cyclic regeneration performance. Importantly, through kinetic fitting, the Avrami kinetic model fits the CO2 adsorption better than the quasi-first-order and quasi-second-order kinetic models, which proves that physical adsorption and chemical adsorption coexist in the adsorption process. This simple, long-term stable and excellent selective separation performance makes amine-functionalized adsorbents have potential application prospects in CO2 capture.

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
We present a comprehensive thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of polyethylenimine (PEI)-impregnated resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) aerogels. While numerous studies focus on PEI-impregnated SBA, RF materials have been less examined, despite their interest and specificities. As most articles on PEI-impregnated porous materials follow typical experimental methods defined for SBA, particularities of RF-PEI materials could remain unheeded. The design of nonisothermal TGA protocols, completed with nitrogen isotherms, based on the systematic filling of the matrix delivers a fundamental understanding of the relationship between the structure and function. This study demonstrates (i) the competition between the matrix and PEI for CO2-physisorption (φ) and CO2-chemisorption (χ), (ii) the hysteresis ([Formula: see text]) of CO2 capture at low temperature attributed to the kinetic (K) hindrance of CO2 diffusion (D) through PEI film/plugs limiting the chemisorption, and (iii) the thermodynamic (θ) equilibrium limiting the capture at high temperature. At variance with SBA-PEI materials, the first layers of PEI in RF are readily available for CO2 capture given that this matrix does not covalently bind PEI as SBA. A facile method allows the discrimination between physi- and chemisorption, exhibiting how the former decreases with PEI coverage. The CO2 capture hysteresis, while seldom introduced or discussed, underlines that the commonly accepted operating temperature of the "maximum capture" is based on an incomplete experiment. Through isotherm adsorption analysis, we correlate the evolution of this maximum to the morphological distribution of PEI. This contribution highlights the specificities of RF-PEI and the advantages of our TGA protocol in understanding the structure/function relationship of this kind of material by avoiding the typical direct applications of SBA-specific protocols. The method is straightforward, does not need large-scale facilities, and is applicable to other materials. Its easiness and rapidness are suited to high-volume studies, befitting for the comprehensive evaluation of interacting factors such as the matrix's nature, pore size, and PEI weight.

Abstract
We report on the preparation of copper iodide nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on vitamin B3-modified graphene (CuI/GO-VB) nanocomposite and its application for the synthesis of oxazolidinone compounds using a remarkable carboxylative cyclization method via the reaction of arylacetylene, aldehyde and benzylamine derivatives under an atmospheric pressure of CO2 gas. The CuI/GO-VB catalyst was prepared from graphene oxide (GO), vitamin B3 (VB) and CuI using a two-step procedure; firstly graphene-based composite (GO-VB) was synthesized by the reaction of GO and nicotinoyl chloride, followed by the immobilization of CuI NPs on GO-VB. The CuI/GO-VB nanocomposite was fully identified with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The catalytic performance of the CuI/GO-VB heterogeneous catalyst was investigated in carboxylative cyclization for the synthesis of oxazolidinone compounds under an atmospheric pressure of CO2 gas at 100οC in solvent-, base-, and additive-free conditions; the corresponding oxazolidinone compounds were obtained in 79-94% yield. The hot filtration results indicated that CuI/GO-VB nanocomposite was a heterogeneous catalyst and showed a good reusability for 5 runs without a significant decrease in its catalytic performance.

The interaction of ionic liquids (ILs) with carbon materials is of fundamental importance in several areas of materials science, physics, and chemistry. Their adsorption on pristine and N-doped graphene surfaces is discussed here on the basis of results of density functional theory calculations. The nature of adsorption was investigated for an amino acid (AA)-based IL consisting of the choline cation [Ch] and the l-phenylalanilate anion [Phe] that interacts with a sheet of N-doped graphene. The interaction mechanism, binding energy, electron density, and non-covalent interaction analysis were evaluated by considering the cation, anion, and ion pair adsorbed on graphene separately. The distribution of cations and anions in the liquid bulk and on the graphene surface was then analyzed by molecular dynamics simulations. Since AA-based ILs are efficient absorbents for capture of CO2 due to the pronounced affinity of carbon dioxide to react with amino groups, we investigated the capacity of [Ch][Phe] to react with CO2 under various conditions. We considered the multistep mechanism of the reaction of [Phe] with CO2 first for the anion in the liquid bulk and then for the [Phe] anion adsorbed on the graphene surface. The initial step, the formation of the zwitterionic addition product, is followed by its structural rearrangement through intramolecular proton transfer and conformational isomerization processes to form carboxylic acid derivatives. The entire mechanism was evaluated for the [Phe] anion before and after adsorption on graphene to investigate how interactions with surfaces of carbon materials can affect the CO2 capture capacity of an AA-based IL such as [Ch][Phe].

Abstract
Lithium is a fundamental raw material for the production of rechargeable batteries. The technology currently in use for lithium salts recovery from continental brines entails the evaporation of huge water volumes in desert environments. It also requires that the native brines reside for not less than a year in open air ponds, and is only applicable to selected compositions, not allowing its application to more diluted brines such as those geothermally sourced or waters produced from the oil industry. We have proposed an alternative technology based on membrane electrolysis. In three consecutive water electrolyzers, fitted alternately with anion and cation permselective membranes, we have shown, at proof-of-concept level, that it is possible to sequentially recover lithium carbonate and several by-products, including magnesium and calcium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, H2 and HCl. The big challenge is to bring this technology closer to practical implementation. Thus, the issue is how to apply relatively well-known electrochemical technology principles to large volumes and to a highly complex and saline broth. We have studied the application of this new methodology to ternary mixtures (NaCl, LiCl and KCl) with constant LiCl and KCl composition and increasing NaCl content. Results showed very similar behaviour for systems containing [Na+]/[Li+] concentration ratios ranging from 1.24 to 4.80. The voltage developed between the anode and cathode is almost the same in all systems at roughly 3.5 V when a constant current density of 50 A m-2 is applied. The three monovalent cations migrate with different rates across the cation exchange membrane, with Li+ being the most sluggish and thus crystallization of Li2CO3 only occurs close to completion of the electrolysis. The dimensionless concentration profiles are almost indistinguishable despite the changes in total salinity. The solids crystallized from different feeds showed higher Na+ and K+ contents as the initial Na+ concentration was increased. However, solids with over 99.9% purity in Li2CO3 could be obtained after a simple re-suspension treatment in hot water. The electrochemical energy consumption greatly increases with higher Na+ concentrations, and the amount of fresh water that can be recovered is diminished.

Abstract
CO2 absorption has been driven by the need for efficient and environmentally sustainable CO2 capture technologies. The development in the synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs) has attracted immense attention due to the possibility of obtaining compounds with designated properties. This allows ILs to be used in various applications including, but not limited to, biomass pretreatment, catalysis, additive in lubricants and dye-sensitive solar cell (DSSC). The utilization of ILs to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most well-known processes in an effort to improve the quality of natural gas and to reduce the green gases emission. One of the key advantages of ILs relies on their low vapor pressure and high thermal stability properties. Unlike any other traditional solvents, ILs exhibit high solubility and selectivity towards CO2. Frequently studied ILs for CO2 absorption include imidazolium-based ILs such as [HMIM][Tf2N] and [BMIM][OAc], as well as ILs containing amine groups such as [Cho][Gly] and [C1ImPA][Gly]. Though ILs are being considered as alternative solvents for CO2 capture, their full potential is limited by their main drawback, namely, high viscosity. Therefore, the hybridization of ILs has been introduced as a means of optimizing the performance of ILs, given their promising potential in capturing CO2. The resulting hybrid materials are expected to exhibit various ranges of chemical and physical characteristics. This review presents the works on the hybridization of ILs with numerous materials including activated carbon (AC), cellulose, metal-organic framework (MOF) and commercial amines. The primary focus of this review is to present the latest innovative solutions aimed at tackling the challenges associated with IL viscosity and to explore the influences of ILs hybridization toward CO2 capture. In addition, the development and performance of ILs for CO2 capture were explored and discussed. Lastly, the challenges in ILs hybridization were also being addressed.

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
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
Absorption in amine solutions is a well-established advanced technology for CO2 capture. However, the fundamental aspects of the chemical reactions occurring in solution still appear to be unclear. Our previous investigation of aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD), based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations aided with metadynamics, provided new insights into the reaction mechanisms leading to CO2 capture and release with carbamate formation and dissociation. In particular, the role of water-strongly underestimated in previous computational studies-was established as essential in determining the development of all relevant reactions. In this article, we apply the same simulation protocol to other relevant primary amines, namely, a sterically hindered amine (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP)) and an aromatic amine (benzylamine (BZA)). We also discuss the case of CO2 capture with the formation of bicarbonate. New information is thus obtained that extends our understanding. However, quantitative predictions obtained using molecular simulations suffer from several methodological problems, and comparison among different chemical species is especially demanding. We clarify these problems further with a discussion of previous attempts to explain the different behaviors of AMP and MEA using other types of models and computations.

Abstract
Polymeric amine encapsulation in high surface area MCM-41 particles for CO2 capture is well established but has the drawback of leaching out the water-soluble polymer upon exposure to aqueous environments. Alternatively, chemical (covalent) grafting amine functional groups from an alkoxysilane such as 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on MCM-41 offer better stability against this drawback. However, the diffusional restriction exhibited by the narrow uniform MCM-41 pores (2-4 nm) may impede amine functionalization of the available silanol groups within the inner mesoporous core. This leads to incomplete amine functionalization and could reduce the CO2 adsorption capacity in such materials. Our concept to improve access to the MCM-41 interior is based on the incorporation of nanostraws with larger inner diameter (15-30 nm) to create a hierarchical porosity and enhance the molecular transport of APTES. Halloysite nanotubes (HNT) are used as tubular straws that are integrated into the MCM-41 matrix using an aerosol-assisted synthesis method. Characterization results show that the intrinsic structure of MCM-41 remains unaltered after the incorporation of the nanostraws and amine functionalization. At an optimal APTES loading of 0.5 g (X = 2.0), the amine-functionalized composite of MCM-41 with straws (APTES/M40H) has a 20% higher adsorption capacity than the amine-modified MCM-41 (APTES/MCM-41) adsorbent. Furthermore, the CO2 adsorption capacity APTES/M40H doubles that of APTES/MCM-41 when normalized based on the composition of MCM-41 in the composite particle with straws. The facile integration of nanostraws in MCM-41 leading to hierarchical porosities could be effective toward the mitigation of diffusional restriction in porous materials with potential for other catalytic and adsorption technologies.

Abstract
In this study, the activated carbon was prepared with superior CO2 selective adsorption properties using walnut shells, a biomass waste, as a precursor. The activations were conducted at various times using the microwave heating technique in a steam atmosphere. The surface morphology and chemical composition of activated carbon were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The textural properties were investigated using the N2/77K isothermal method, and the structural characteristics were examined using X-ray diffraction analysis. The CO2 and H2 adsorption properties of activated carbon were analyzed using a thermogravimetric analyzer and a high-pressure isothermal adsorption apparatus, respectively, under atmospheric and high-pressure conditions. Depending on the activation time, the specific surface area and total pore volume of the activated carbon were 570-690 m2/g and 0.26-0.34 cm3/g, respectively. The adsorption behaviors of CO2 of the activated carbon were different under atmospheric and high-pressure conditions. At atmospheric pressure, a significant dependence on micropores with diameters less than 0.8 nm was observed, whereas, at high pressure, the micropores and mesopores in the range of 1.6-2.4 nm exhibited a significant dependence. However, H2 adsorption did not occur at relatively low pressures. Consequently, the prepared activated carbon exhibited superior selective adsorption properties for CO2.

Abstract
Reactive amine compounds are critical for a vast array of useful chemicals in society, yet a limited number of them are derived from renewable resources. This study developed an efficient route to obtain aminated building blocks from phenolic resources derived from nature, such as lignin and tannic acid, for enhancing their utility in applications such as epoxy resins, nylons, polyurethanes, and other polymeric materials. The reaction utilized a carbon storage compound, 2-oxazolidinone as a solvent and as a reagent circumventing the need of hazardous chemistry of conventional amination routes such as those involving formaldehyde. Both free acids and hindered phenolics were readily converted into aminoethyl derivatives resulting in aromatics with primary amine functionality. The aminated compounds, with the potential for enhanced reactivity, can pave the way toward more advanced renewable building blocks.

Abstract
Developing artificial porous systems with high molecular recognition performance is critical but very challenging to achieve selective uptake of a particular component from a mixture of many similar species, regardless of the size and affinity of these competing species. A porous platform that integrates multiple recognition mechanisms working cooperatively for highly efficient guest identification is desired. Here, we designed a flexible porous coordination polymer (PCP) and realised a corrugated channel system that cooperatively responds to only target gas molecules by taking advantage of its stereochemical shape, location of binding sites, and structural softness. The binding sites and structural deformation act synergistically, exhibiting exclusive discrimination gating (EDG) effect for selective gate-opening adsorption of CO2 over nine similar gas molecules, including N2, CH4, CO, O2, H2, Ar, C2H6, and even higher-affinity gases such as C2H2 and C2H4. Combining in-situ crystallographic experiments with theoretical studies, it is clear that this unparalleled ability to decipher the CO2 molecule is achieved through the coordination of framework dynamics, guest diffusion, and interaction energetics. Furthermore, the gas co-adsorption and breakthrough separation performance render the obtained PCP an efficient adsorbent for CO2 capture from various gas mixtures.

Abstract
N-Nitrosamines are one of the environmentally significant byproducts from aqueous amine-based post-combustion carbon capture systems (CCS) due to their potential risk to human health. Safely mitigating nitrosamines before they are emitted from these CO2 capture systems is therefore a key concern before widescale deployment of CCS can be used to address worldwide decarbonization goals. Electrochemical decomposition is one viable route to neutralize these harmful compounds. The circulating emission control waterwash system, commonly installed at the end of the flue gas treatment trains to minimize amine solvent emissions, plays an important role to capture N-nitrosamines and control their emission into the environment. The waterwash solution is the last point where these compounds can be properly neutralized before becoming an environmental hazard. In this study, the decomposition mechanisms of N-nitrosamines in a simulated CCS waterwash with residual alkanolamines was investigated using several laboratory-scale electrolyzers utilizing carbon xerogel (CX) electrodes. H-cell experiments revealed that N-nitrosamines were decomposed through a reduction reaction and are converted into their corresponding secondary amines thereby neutralizing their environmental impact. Batch-cell experiments statistically examined the kinetic models of N-nitrosamine removal by a combined adsorption and decomposition processes. The cathodic reduction of the N-nitrosamines statistically obeyed the first-order reaction model. Finally, a prototype flow-through reactor using an authentic waterwash was used to successfully target and decompose N-nitrosamines to below the detectable level without degrading the amine solvent compounds allowing them to be return to the CCS and lower the system operating costs. The developed electrolyzer was able to efficiently remove greater than 98% of N-nitrosamines from the waterwash solution without producing any additional environmentally harmful compounds and offers an effective and safe route to mitigate these compounds from CO2 capture systems.

Abstract
Adsorption-based capture of CO2 from flue gas and from air requires materials that have a high affinity for CO2 and can resist water molecules that competitively bind to adsorption sites. Here, we present a core-shell metal-organic framework (MOF) design strategy where the core MOF is designed to selectively adsorb CO2, and the shell MOF is designed to block H2O diffusion into the core. To implement and test this strategy, we used the zirconium (Zr)-based UiO MOF platform because of its relative structural rigidity and chemical stability. Previously reported computational screening results were used to select optimal core and shell MOF compositions from a basis set of possible building blocks, and the target core-shell MOFs were prepared. Their compositions and structures were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. Multigas (CO2, N2, and H2O) sorption data were collected both for the core-shell MOFs and for the core and shell MOFs individually. These data were compared to determine whether the core-shell MOF architecture improved the CO2 capture performance under humid conditions. The combination of experimental and computational results demonstrated that adding a shell layer with high CO2/H2O diffusion selectivity can significantly reduce the effect of water on CO2 uptake.

Abstract
Under favorable regeneration conditions (120 °C, 100% CO2), ultrafast adsorption kinetics and excellent long-term cycle stability are still the biggest obstacles for amine-based solid CO2 adsorbents. Inspired by natural wood, a biochar with a highly ordered pore structure and excellent thermal conductivity was prepared and used as a carrier of organic amines to prepare ideal CO2 adsorbents. The results showed that the prepared adsorbent has a very high adsorption working capacity (4.23 mmol CO2·g-1), and its performance remains stable even after 30 adsorption-desorption cycles in the harsh desorption environment (120 °C, 100% CO2). Due to the existence of the hierarchical structure, the adsorbent exhibited ultra-fast adsorption kinetics, and the reaction rate constant is 37 times higher than that of traditional silica. This adsorbent also showed a very low regeneration heat of 1.64 MJ·kg-1 (CO2), which is especially important for the practical application. Therefore, these biochar-based adsorbents derived from natural wood make the CO2 capture process promising.

Abstract
It is critical to improve carbon capture efficiency while reducing costs to popularize carbon capture and storage. Considering the green chemistry and engineering objectives, this study theoretically explores the CO2 absorption capacity of 1,533,528 hydrogen-bonded mixtures, i.e., deep eutectic solvents in a broad sense. Exhaustive statistical thermodynamic calculations well explain the experimental reports; it is confirmed that deep eutectic solvents containing ionic compounds have higher CO2 selective absorption capacity than those composed of non-ionic species. Quantitative evaluation of hydrogen-bonding interaction also predicts that the capacity is higher when the ionic compounds work as hydrogen-bonding donors. This is because the trace ionic species weaken the hydrogen-bonding network in the mixtures to improve CO2 physisorption.

Abstract
Capturing CO2 has become increasingly important. However, wide industrial applications of conventional CO2 capture technologies are limited by their slow CO2 sorption and desorption kinetics. Accordingly, this research is designed to overcome the challenge by synthesizing mesoporous MgO nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) with a new method that uses PEG 1500 as a soft template. MgO surface structure is nonstoichiometric due to its distinctive shape; the abundant Lewis base sites provided by oxygen vacancies promote CO2 capture. Adding 2 wt % MgO-NPs to 20 wt % monoethanolamine (MEA) can increase the breakthrough time (the time with 90% CO2 capturing efficiency) by ∼3000% and can increase the CO2 absorption capacity within the breakthrough time by ∼3660%. The data suggest that MgO-NPs can accelerate the rate and increase CO2 desorption capacity by up to ∼8740% and ∼2290% at 90 °C, respectively. Also, the excellent stability of the system within 50 cycles is verified. These findings demonstrate a new strategy to innovate MEA absorbents currently widely used in commercial post-combustion CO2 capture plants.

Abstract
The uniqueness of multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) has been widely explored to discover their unknown opportunities. While mesoscopic apportionments have been studied, macroscopic heterogeneity and its spatial effects remain unexplored in MTV-MOFs. In this study, we investigated the effect of macroscopic heterogeneity on MTV-MOFs on their uptake behaviors by comparing three types of MTV-MOFs having the functional groups in inner, outer, or entire parts of crystals. Their adsorption behavior for carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) brought out that functional groups located in the outer part of the crystals dominantly influence the sorption behavior of MTV-MOFs. These results are also visualized by observing iodine adsorption in the three types of MTV-MOFs using scanning transmission electron microscopy-electron energy loss spectroscopy. We believe that this finding provides new ways to decipher and design MTV-MOFs for their unusual properties.

Abstract
Porous materials are the subject of extensive research because of potential applications in areas such as gas adsorption and molecular separations. Until recently, most porous materials were solids, but there is now an emerging class of materials known as porous liquids. The incorporation of intrinsic porosity or cavities in a liquid can result in free-flowing materials that are capable of gas uptakes that are significantly higher than conventional non-porous liquids. A handful of porous liquids have also been investigated for gas separations. Until now, the release of gas from porous liquids has relied on molecular displacement (e.g., by adding small solvent molecules), pressure or temperature swings, or sonication. Here, we explore a new method of gas release which involves photoisomerisable porous liquids comprising a photoresponsive MOF dispersed in an ionic liquid. This results in the selective uptake of CO2 over CH4 and allows gas release to be controlled by using UV light.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide capture is an important greenhouse gas mitigation technology that can help limit climate change. The design of improved capture materials requires a detailed understanding of the mechanisms by which carbon dioxide is bound. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy methods have emerged as a powerful probe of CO2 sorption and diffusion in carbon capture materials. In this article, we first review the practical considerations for carrying out NMR measurements on capture materials dosed with CO2 and we then present three case studies that review our recent work on NMR studies of CO2 binding in metal-organic framework materials. We show that simple 13C NMR experiments are often inadequate to determine CO2 binding modes, but that more advanced experiments such as multidimensional NMR experiments and 17O NMR experiments can lead to more conclusive structural assignments. We further discuss how pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR can be used to explore diffusion of adsorbed CO2 through the porous framework. Finally, we provide an outlook on the challenges and opportunities for the further development of NMR methodologies that can improve our understanding of carbon capture.

Abstract
MgO-based CO2 sorbents promoted with molten alkali metal nitrates (e.g., NaNO3) have emerged as promising materials for CO2 capture and storage technologies due to their low cost and high theoretical CO2 uptake capacities. Yet, the mechanism by which molten alkali metal nitrates promote the carbonation of MgO (CO2 capture reaction) remains debated and poorly understood. Here, we utilize 18O isotope labeling experiments to provide new insights into the carbonation mechanism of NaNO3-promoted MgO sorbents, a system in which the promoter is molten under operation conditions and hence inherently challenging to characterize. To conduct the 18O isotope labeling experiments, we report a facile and large-scale synthesis procedure to obtain labeled MgO with a high 18O isotope content. We use Raman spectroscopy and in situ thermogravimetric analysis in combination with mass spectrometry to track the 18O label in the solid (MgCO3), molten (NaNO3), and gas (CO2) phases during the CO2 capture (carbonation) and regeneration (decarbonation) reactions. We discovered a rapid oxygen exchange between CO2 and MgO through the reversible formation of surface carbonates, independent of the presence of the promoter NaNO3. On the other hand, no oxygen exchange was observed between NaNO3 and CO2 or NaNO3 and MgO. Combining the results of the 18O labeling experiments, with insights gained from atomistic calculations, we propose a carbonation mechanism that, in the first stage, proceeds through a fast, surface-limited carbonation of MgO. These surface carbonates are subsequently dissolved as [Mg2+···CO3 2-] ionic pairs in the molten NaNO3 promoter. Upon reaching the solubility limit, MgCO3 crystallizes at the MgO/NaNO3 interface.

Abstract
After the Industrial Revolution, the ever-increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration has resulted in significant problems for human beings. Nearly all countries in the world are actively taking measures to fight for carbon neutrality. In recent years, negative carbon emission technologies have attracted much attention due to their ability to reduce or recycle excess CO2 in the atmosphere. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art negative carbon emission technologies, from the artificial enhancement of natural carbon sink technology to the physical, chemical, or biological methods for carbon capture, as well as CO2 utilization and conversion. Finally, we expound on the challenges and outlook for improving negative carbon emission technology to accelerate the pace of achieving carbon neutrality.
