Unveiling CO2 chemisorption mechanisms in solid adsorbents via surface-enhanced ex(in)-situ NMR
Reaching a historic high of 3Reaching a historic high of 32.5 gigatonnes in 2017, global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels combustion continue to increase. CO2 removal technologies are part of the solution to tackle this crucial environmental challenge. Because of their lower regeneration cost, amine-modified porous silicas (AMPS) are the most promising CO2-adsorbents for replacing the decades-old liquid amine scrubbing technology. AMPS are “moisture-tolerant” and selectively chemisorb CO2 from low-concentration mixtures, important features for operating under large-point CO2 emission source conditions. The nature of CO2 species formed on AMPS surfaces determines the gas adsorption…
