Trends in Solid Adsorbent Materials Development for CO2 Capture

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....

Description
Summary: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.
