Abstract
This study was deeply focused on developing a novel CTS/GO/ZnO composite as an efficient adsorbent for CO2 adsorption process. To do so, design of experiment (DOE) was done based on RSM-BBD technique and according to the DOE runs, various CTS/GO/ZnO samples were synthesized with different GO loading (in the range of 0 wt% to 20 wt%) and different ZnO nanoparticle's loading (in the range of 0 wt% to 20 wt%). A volumetric adsorption setup was used to investigate the effect of temperature (in the range of 25-65 °C) and pressure (in the range of 1-9 bar) on the obtained samples CO2 uptake capability. A quadratic model was developed based on the RSM-BBD method to predict the CO2 adsorption capacity of the composite sample within design space. In addition, CO2 adsorption process optimization was conducted and the optimum values of the GO, ZnO, temperature, and pressure were obtained around 23.8 wt%, 18.2 wt%, 30.1 °C, and 8.6 bar, respectively, with the highest CO2 uptake capacity of 470.43 mg/g. Moreover, isotherm and kinetic modeling of the CO2 uptake process were conducted and the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.99) and fractional order model (R2 = 0.99) were obtained as the most appropriate isotherm and kinetic models, respectively. Also, thermodynamic analysis of the adsorption was done and the ∆H°, ∆S°, and ∆G° values were obtained around - 19.121 kJ/mol, - 0.032 kJ/mol K, and - 9.608 kJ/mol, respectively, indicating exothermic, spontaneously, and physically adsorption of the CO2 molecules on the CTS/GO/ZnO composite's surface. Finally, a renewability study was conducted and a minor loss in the CO2 adsorption efficiency of about 4.35% was obtained after ten cycles, demonstrating the resulting adsorbent has good performance and robustness for industrial CO2 capture purposes.

Abstract
There is a constant need for versatile technologies to reduce the continuously increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, able to provide effective solutions under different conditions (temperature, pressure) and composition of the flue gas. In this work, a combination of graphene oxide (GO) and functionalized waterborne polymer particles was investigated, as versatile and promising candidates for CO2 capture application, with the aim to develop an easily scalable, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly CO2 capture technology. There are huge possibilities of different functional monomers that can be selected to functionalize the polymer particles and to provide CO2-philicity to the composite nanostructures. Density functional theory (DFT) was employed to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions of these complex composite materials with CO2 and N2 molecules, and to build a basis for efficient screening for functional monomers. Estimation of the binding energy between CO2 and a set of GO/polymer composites, comprising copolymers of methyl methacrylate, n-butyl acrylate, and different functional monomers, shows that it depends strongly on the polymer functionalities. In some cases, there is a lack of cooperative effect of GO. It is explained by a remarkably strong GO-polymer binding, which induced less effective CO2-polymer interactions. When compared with experimental results, in the cases when the nanocomposite structures presented similar textural properties, the same trends for selective CO2 capture over N2 were attained. Besides novel functional materials for CO2 capture and a deeper understanding of the interactions between CO2 molecules with various materials, this study additionally demonstrates that DFT calculations can be a shorter route toward the efficient selection of the best functionalization of the composite materials for selective CO2 capture.

Abstract
The reduction of CO2 emissions and its elimination from the atmosphere has become one of the major problems worldwide, since CO2 is the main cause of the greenhouse effect and climate change. In recent years, a great number of carbonaceous materials that can be used as CO2 adsorbents have been synthesized. The strategy is usually to synthesize the materials and determine their adsorption capacity without studying previously the factors that influence this capacity. In this work, different properties of the adsorbents are analyzed to study their influence on the CO2 adsorption capacity. For this purpose, 10 adsorbents have been synthesized using different strategies and characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The percentage of sp2 carbons, the position of the D + D' peak of the second-order Raman spectrum, the micropore volume, and the grain size of the C sp2 domains have been related to the amount of CO2 adsorbed by the adsorbents. The results confirm a linear relationship between the volume of the micropores and the CO2 uptake and it proves that CO2 retention is favored in those materials that, in addition to having a high volume of micropores, also have low grain size of C.

Abstract
To address the issue of global warming and climate change issues, recent research efforts have highlighted opportunities for capturing and electrochemically converting carbon dioxide (CO2). Despite metal doped polymers receiving widespread attention in this respect, the structures hitherto reported lack in ease of synthesis with scale up feasibility. In this study, a series of mesoporous metal-doped polymers (MRFs) with tunable metal functionality and hierarchical porosity were successfully synthesized using a one-step copolymerization of resorcinol and formaldehyde with Polyethyleneimine (PEI) under solvothermal conditions. The effect of PEI and metal doping concentrations were observed on physical properties and adsorption results. The results confirmed the role of PEI on the mesoporosity of the polymer networks and high surface area in addition to enhanced CO2 capture capacity. The resulting Cobalt doped material shows excellent thermal stability and promising CO2 capture performance, with equilibrium adsorption of 2.3 mmol CO2/g at 0 °C and 1 bar for at a surface area 675.62 m2/g. This mesoporous polymer, with its ease of synthesis is a promising candidate for promising for CO2 capture and possible subsequent electrochemical conversion.

Abstract
Due to the global menace caused by carbon emissions from environmental, anthropogenic, and industrial processes, it has become expedient to consider the use of systems, with high trapping potentials for these carbon-based compounds. Several prior studies have considered the use of amines, activated carbon, and other solid adsorbents. Advances in carbon capture research have led to the use of ionic liquids, enzyme-based systems, microbial filters, membranes, and metal-organic frameworks in capturing CO2. Therefore, it is common knowledge that some of these systems have their lapses, which then informs the need to prioritize and optimize their synthetic routes for optimum efficiency. Some authors have also argued about the need to consider the use of hybrid systems, which offer several characteristics that in turn give synergistic effects/properties that are better compared to those of the individual components that make up the composites. For instance, some membranes are hydrophobic in nature, which makes them unsuitable for carbon capture operations; hence, it is necessary to consider modifying properties such as thermal stability, chemical stability, permeability, nature of the raw/starting material, thickness, durability, and surface area which can enhance the performance of these systems. In this review, previous and recent advances in carbon capture systems and sequestration technologies are discussed, while some recommendations and future prospects in innovative technologies are also highlighted.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas, capture has recently become a crucial technological solution to reduce atmospheric emissions from fossil fuel burning. Thereafter, many efforts have been put forwarded to reduce the burden on climate change by capturing and separating CO2, especially from larger power plants and from the air through the utilization of different technologies (e.g., membrane, absorption, microbial, cryogenic, chemical looping, and so on). Those technologies have often suffered from high operating costs and huge energy consumption. On the right side, physical process, such as adsorption, is a cost-effective process, which has been widely used to adsorb different contaminants, including CO2. Henceforth, this review covered the overall efficacies of CO2 adsorption from air at 196 K to 343 K and different pressures by the carbon-based materials (CBMs). Subsequently, we also addressed the associated challenges and future opportunities for CBMs. According to this review, the efficacies of various CBMs for CO2 adsorption have followed the order of carbon nanomaterials (i.e., graphene, graphene oxides, carbon nanotubes, and their composites) < mesoporous -microporous or hierarchical porous carbons < biochar and activated biochar < activated carbons.

Abstract
Polymer composite materials with hierarchical porous structure have been advancing in many different application fields due to excellent physico-chemical properties. However, their synthesis continues to be a highly energy-demanding and environmentally unfriendly process. This work reports a unique water based synthesis of monolithic 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite structures reinforced with poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer nanoparticles functionalized with epoxy functional groups. The method is based on reduction-induced self-assembly process performed at mild conditions. The textural properties and the surface chemistry of the monoliths were varied by changing the reaction conditions and quantity of added polymer to the structure. Moreover, the incorporation of the polymer into the structures improves the solvent resistance of the composites due to the formation of crosslinks between the polymer and the rGO. The monolithic composites were evaluated for selective capture of CO2. A balance between the specific surface area and the level of functionalization was found to be critical for obtaining high CO2 capacity and CO2/N2 selectivity. The polymer quantity affects the textural properties, thus lowering its amount the specific surface area and the amount of functional groups are higher. This affects positively the capacity for CO2 capture, thus, the maximum achieved was in the range 3.56–3.85 mmol/g at 1 atm and 25 °C.

Abstract
A recent report from the United Nations has warned about the excessive CO2 emissions and the necessity of making efforts to keep the increase in global temperature below 2 °C. Current CO2 capture technologies are inadequate for reaching that goal, and effective mitigation strategies must be pursued. In this work, we summarize trends in materials development for CO2 adsorption with focus on recent studies. We put adsorbent materials into four main groups: (I) carbon-based materials, (II) silica/alumina/zeolites, (III) porous crystalline solids, and (IV) metal oxides. Trends in computational investigations along with experimental findings are covered to find promising candidates in light of practical challenges imposed by process economics.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped graphene oxide sheets (N-GOs) are prepared by employing N-containing polymers such as polypyrrole, polyaniline, and copolymer (polypyrrole-polyaniline) doped with acids such as HCl, H₂SO₄, and C₆H₅-SO₃-K, which are activated using different concentrations of KOH and carbonized at 650 °C; characterized using SEM, TEM, BET, TGA-DSC, XRD, and XPS; and employed for the removal of environmental pollutant CO₂. The porosity of the N-GOs obtained were found to be in the range 1-3.5 nm when the KOH employed was in the ratio of 1:4, and the XRD confirmed the formation of the layered like structure. However, when the KOH employed was in the ratio of 1:2, the pore diameter was found to be in the range of 50-200 nm. The SEM and TEM analysis reveal the porosity and sheet-like structure of the products obtained. The nitrogen-doped graphene oxide sheets (N-GOs) prepared by employing polypyrrole doped with C₆H₅-SO₃-K were found to possess a high surface area of 2870 m²/g. The N-GOs displayed excellent CO₂ capture property with the N-GOs; PPy/Ar-1 displayed ~1.36 mmol/g. The precursor employed, the dopant used, and the activation process were found to affect the adsorption property of the N-GOs obtained. The preparation procedure is simple and favourable for the synthesis of N-GOs for their application as adsorbents in greenhouse gas removal and capture.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas causes severe impacts on the environment, whereas it is also a necessary chemical feedstock that can be converted into carbon-based fuels via electrochemical reduction. To efficiently and reversibly capture CO2, it is important to find novel materials for a good balance between adsorption and desorption. In this study, we performed first-principles calculations and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations, to systematically study metal-embedded carbon nitride (C2N) nanosheets for CO2 capture. Our first-principles results indicated that Ca atoms can be uniformly trapped in the cavity center of C2N structure, while the transition metals (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co) are favorably embedded in the sites off the center of the cavity. The determined maximum number of CO2 molecules with strong physisorption showed that Ca-embedded C2N monolayer is the most promising CO2 adsorbent among all considered metal-embedded materials. Moreover, GCMC simulations revealed that at room temperature the gravimetric density for CO2 adsorbed on Ca-embedded C2N reached 50 wt% at 30 bar and 23 wt% at 1 bar, higher than other layered materials, thus providing a satisfactory system for the CO2 capture and utilization.

Abstract
Clean energy sources and global warming are among the major challenges of the 21st century. One of the possible actions toward finding alternative energy sources and reducing global warming are storage of H2 and CH4, and capture of CO2 by using highly efficient and low-cost adsorbents. Graphene and graphene-based materials attracted a great attention around the world because of their potential for a variety applications ranging from electronics, gas sensing, energy storage and CO2 capture. Large specific surface area of these materials up to ~3000m2/g and versatile modification make them excellent adsorbents for diverse applications. Here, graphene-based adsorbents are reviewed with special emphasis on their adsorption affinity toward CO2, H2 and CH4. This review shows that graphene derivatives obtained mainly via "chemical exfoliation" of graphite and further modification with polymers and/or metal species can be very effective sorbents for CO2 and other gases and can compete with the currently used carbonaceous or non-carbonaceous adsorbents. The high adsorption capacities of graphene-based materials are mainly determined by their unique nanostructures, high specific surface areas and tailorable surface properties, which make them suitable for storage or capture of various molecules relevant for environmental and energy-related applications.

Abstract
The capture and storage of CO2 have been suggested as an effective strategy to reduce the global emissions of greenhouse gases. Hence, in recent years, many studies have been carried out to develop highly efficient materials for capturing CO2 . Until today, different types of porous materials, such as zeolites, porous carbons, N/B-doped porous carbons or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have been studied for CO2 capture. Herein, the CO2 capture performance of new hybrid materials, graphene-organic frameworks (GOFs) is described. The GOFs were synthesized under mild conditions through a solvothermal process using graphene oxide (GO) as a starting material and benzene 1,4-diboronic acid as an organic linker. Interestingly, the obtained GOF shows a high surface area (506 m2 g-1 ) which is around 11 times higher than that of GO (46 m2 g-1 ), indicating that the organic modification on the GO surface is an effective way of preparing a porous structure using GO. Our synthetic approach is quite simple, facile, and fast, compared with many other approaches reported previously. The synthesized GOF exhibits a very large CO2 capacity of 4.95 mmol g-1 at 298 K (1 bar), which is higher those of other porous materials or carbon-based materials, along with an excellent CO2 /N2 selectivity of 48.8.

Abstract
Porous conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanocomposite prepared on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) film was used as efficient chemiresistor sensor platform for NO2 detection. The comparable electrical performance between RGO and porous PEDOT nanostructure, the large surface area and opening porous structure of this RGO/porous PEDOT nanocomposite resulted in excellent synergistic effect. The gas sensing performance revealed that, in contrast to bare RGO, the RGO/porous PEDOT exhibited the enhanced sensitivity (2 orders of magnitude) as well as response and recovery performance. As a result of the highly uniform distribution of PEDOT porous network and excellent synergetic effect between RGO and porous PEDOT, this nanocomposite based sensor exhibited higher selectivity to NO2 in contrast to other oxidant analyte gases, e.g., HCl, H2S and SO2.

Abstract
A series of microporous carbons (MPCs) were successfully prepared by an efficient one-step condensation and activation strategy using commercially available dialdehyde and diamine as carbon sources. The resulting MPCs have large surface areas (up to 1881 m(2) g(-1)), micropore volumes (up to 0.78 cm(3) g(-1)), and narrow micropore size distributions (0.7-1.1 nm). The CO₂ uptakes of the MPCs prepared at high temperatures (700-750 °C) are higher than those prepared under mild conditions (600-650 °C), because the former samples possess optimal micropore sizes (0.7-0.8 nm) that are highly suitable for CO₂ capture due to enhanced adsorbate-adsorbent interactions. At 1 bar, MPC-750 prepared at 750 °C demonstrates the best CO₂ capture performance and can efficiently adsorb CO₂ molecules at 2.86 mmol g(-1) and 4.92 mmol g(-1) at 25 and 0 °C, respectively. In particular, the MPCs with optimal micropore sizes (0.7-0.8 nm) have extremely high CO₂/N₂ adsorption ratios (47 and 52 at 25 and 0 °C, respectively) at 1 bar, and initial CO₂/N₂ adsorption selectivities of up to 81 and 119 at 25 °C and 0 °C, respectively, which are far superior to previously reported values for various porous solids. These excellent results, combined with good adsorption capacities and efficient regeneration/recyclability, make these carbons amongst the most promising sorbents reported so far for selective CO₂ adsorption in practical applications.
