A novel inert solid support of Nd 2 O 3 was introduced to enhance the cyclic carbonation/calcination performance of CaO-based sorbents. CaO particles were incorporated into Nd 2 O 3 by a wet-mixing method, using three organometallic precursors (OMPs) as calcium precursors and neodymium(III) acetate hydrate as inert support precursor. For comparison, CaO-based sorbents directly produced from precursors and the naturally occurring sorbent (limestone) were also investigated. FSEM and EDAX results revealed that the ultrafine active specie of CaO particles were homogeneously dispersed into Nd 2 O 3 inert support. As a result, an improved durability and higher carbonation conversion were observed owing to the retarded sintering and the delayed diffusion controlled stage respectively for the sorbents investigated. The performance of the synthetic sorbents also relies on the precursor. When calcium dl -lactate pentahydrate (CaL) was used to incorporate CaO into the inert support Nd 2 O 3 , the highest conversion and best durability were obtained. The effect of calcination temperatures on the sorbent durability was also investigated. Under a relatively severe calcination temperature of 900 °C, a high conversion of about 67% were obtained after 100 carbonation/calcination cycles for a sorbent synthesized from calcium dl -lactate pentahydrate (CaL) and neodymium(III) acetate hydrate. When the calcination temperature was changed to a mild one of 800 °C, a significantly high conversion (>92.5%) was maintained over 100 carbonation/calcination cycles. Besides, no apparent capacity decline was observed for the sorbents after granulation.

This work cleverly utilizes the sulfur contained in lignin itself to achieve the self-growth of calcium sulfide on the surface of electrospun lignin-based carbon membranes, and successfully applies it to the efficient capture of CO 2 . The membrane is synthesized through electrospinning technology combined with one-step calcium loading and carbonization process. The maximum adsorption capacity of the membrane is 1.56 mmol/g at 500 ℃ with a mixed gas of 99 % N 2 and 1 % CO 2 . The Avrami fractional kinetic model indicates that the CO 2 adsorption process is a combination of single-layer and multi-layer adsorption behavior. More importantly, this work innovatively proposes utilizing the CO 2 capture process to promote the migration of sulfur in lignin. Sulfur containing product such as calcium sulfate is generated during the CO 2 capture process. All in all, this work not only lays the foundation for the application of lignin in CO 2 capture, but also provides crucial support for the efficient capture of CO 2 and the advancement of poly-generation technology based on carbon capture.

In order to reduce the impact of greenhouse gases on the environment, the development of various new CO 2 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 CO 2 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 CO 2 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 CO 2 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 CO 2 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 CO 2 capture. Graphical abstract

In this work, the effect of the structure and substitution of azole-based anion on the CO 2 capture and viscosity ( η ) of metal chelate-based dual functional ionic liquids (DFILs) with [K(DGA) 2 ] + cation was investigated. The CO 2 absorption capacity of DFILs at 0.1 MPa and 333.2 K shows that methyl and nitro groups on the azole-based anion, such as pyrazolide ([Pyr] − ) and imidazolide ([Im] − ), attenuate their reactivity with CO 2 through the steric hindrance and electron-withdrawing effects, respectively. Furthermore, the CO 2 absorption capacity of [K(DGA) 2 ][Pyr] is larger than that of [K(DGA) 2 ][Im], which is due to the interaction of the two adjacent N atoms in the [Pyr] − anion with CO 2 , as confirmed by DFT calculations. The CO 2 absorption mechanism shows that both [Pyr] − anion and [K(DGA) 2 ] + cation of [K(DGA) 2 ][Pyr] can chemically interact with CO 2 , making its saturated uptake at 333.2 K as high as 1.47 mol CO 2 per mole IL. Moreover, CO 2 interacts preferentially with [Pyr] − , and the [K(DGA) 2 ] + –CO 2 interaction is enhanced when the CO 2 uptake is greater than 0.5 mol CO 2 per mole IL. η of pure [K(DGA) 2 ][Pyr] is lower than that of pure [K(DGA) 2 ][Im]. η of [K(DGA) 2 ][Pyr] increases with the increase of CO 2 absorption, and the rapid increase in η after CO 2 uptake greater than 0.5 is attributed to the formation of [K(DGA) 2 ] + –CO 2 interactions.

Li 4 SiO 4 stands out among various solid sorbents for CO 2 capture. The commonly used mechanical granulation process for Li 4 SiO 4 sorbents causes the destruction of the microstructures. Therefore, with the characteristics of huge production and low cost, an agricultural waste (rice husk) was employed as a pore former to improve the structures of Li 4 SiO 4 pellets and, thus, enhance the cyclic CO 2 sorption performance. The rice husk templating greatly enhanced the CO 2 sorption capacity of Li 4 SiO 4 pellets. Especially, 20 wt% rice husk-templated Li 4 SiO 4 exhibited the capacity of 0.21 g/g, which was nearly twice that of the unmodified sorbent. The quick release of the combustion gases from burning rice husk could create porosity for the sorbents. In addition, the alkaline compositions in rice husk promoted the CO 2 sorption due to the decreased CO 2 diffusion resistance by the formation of molten phases. Moreover, the ashes of rice husk after high-temperature combustion were found to block the pores of the sorbents, leading to the capacity reduction. The comprehensive function of rice husk templating for Li 4 SiO 4 pellets was the tradeoff between the positive effects of pore creation and alkaline doping and the negative effects of pore blockage by the ashes.

The performance of activated carbon (AC) will be severely affected for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture in flue gas, as they usually suffer from competitive adsorption of water vapor. Establishment of a barrier against moisture on the surface of porous adsorbent material could potentially address this issue. Zeolite-like metal–organic frameworks (ZIF-8) as a promising adsorbent material demonstrates hydrophobic properties, large specific surface area, and highly porous structure. Here, by further growth of ZIF-8 on polydopamine (PDA)-coated bio-based carbon (AC@PDA), we fabricate hydrophobic final product (AC@ZIF-8). The CO 2 capture capacities of AC@ZIF-8 was 41.69 cm 3 /g, which is only 13.61% lower than that of the initial AC under dry conditions. The hydrophobic ZIF-8 layer can effectively prevent water molecules from reaching the interior AC. Therefore, the adsorption of CO 2 for AC@ZIF-8 decreased by only 16.74% under high relative humidity, while it decreased by 61.27% for bare AC. This strategy will broaden the applications of carbon-based adsorbents for CO 2 capture under severely humid conditions. We believe that this approach is also applicable for an extensive set of CO 2 capture materials that suffer from water instability.

Timber is among the oldest building materials used by humans but natural wood had many disadvantages such as flammability and poor thermal insulation. These properties may affect the safety and durability of buildings continuous timber. There has been a growing interest in developing practical and simple methods for the fabrication of high-performance wood. A cost-efficient and easily scalable approach for the fabrication of nanostructured multifunctional wood with excellent anisotropic, flame retardant, and durability properties has been developed via in-situ CO 2 capture and mineralization. The product has high mineralization rate (39 %), higher strength (45.4 MPa), low thermal conductivity (∼0.13 W/m·K), and a low LOI (39.3 %). Deposition of CaCO 3 in the nano and micro-porous structures of wood not only enhances its insulation against heat but also its ability to resist flames, which is an important performance parameter for applications in building construction. At the same time, the mineralized wood displays excellent durability properties. It is resistant to high temperatures, extreme cold, and prolonged immersion in water. Therefore, in-situ CO 2 capture and mineralization of the wood nano and micro-porous architecture with CaCO 3 may provide a cost-efficient and scalable strategy to fabricate nanostructured multifunctional wood for potential materials in modern buildings.

Integrated carbon capture and utilization by methanation (ICCU-methanation) is an emerging concept in reducing CO 2 emissions and storing H 2 simultaneously. One key of the technology is the development of dual functional materials (DFMs) that can efficiently capture CO 2 and then catalyze it. Herein, we propose the construction of DFM using Li 4 SiO 4 with superior CO 2 adsorption/desorption features as sorbent and catalyst carrier, CeO 2 as catalyst promoter and isolator, and Ni as catalytic metal, and comprehensively evaluate its characteristics and performance in ICCU-methanation. Results show that the DFM developed possess a high and stable CO 2 capacity of 5.4 mmol·g DFM -1 , 96 % CO 2 conversion and 96 % CH 4 selectivity under both the ideal CO 2 capturing atmosphere and the realistic flue gas containing 10 vol% steam and 8 vol% O 2 . Moreover, rapid CO 2 dissociation from the DFM is observed at a temperature lower to 560 °C due to the reaction of H* dissociated by catalyst with carbonate to form formate, which further decomposes to release CO.

Carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology is considered an effective solution to achieve carbon neutrality. In CCUS, chemical absorption stands out as an efficient CO 2 capture method suitable for environments with low CO 2 partial pressures. This study aims to enhance the CO 2 capture performance of monoethanolamine (MEA) solution by employing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 as catalysts. The impacts of catalyst concentration and experimental temperature on the quantity, rate of absorption, rate of desorption, and reusability of MEA for CO 2 absorption were investigated. Changes in the volume concentration of CO 2 in the mixed gas were monitored to assess these parameters. The results demonstrated that at a catalyst concentration of 150 mg/mL for ZIF-8 and 125 mg/mL for ZIF-67, MEA achieved CO 2 absorption quantity of 22.22 % and 18.89 %, respectively. This corresponded to substantial increases of 63.39 % and 125.9 % in the CO 2 maximum absorption rate of MEA solution. While the maximum desorption rate of MEA was enhanced by 49.71 % and 83.28 %. In conclusion, the introduction of ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 catalysts effectively catalyzed the CO 2 capture process, significantly enhancing the CO 2 capture quantity of MEA and ensuring energy-efficient regeneration of MEA. This study provides a novel approach for improving the performance of MEA in terms of capturing CO 2 .

In this work, nonaqueous binary absorbents were investigated for CO 2 capture by mixing conventional amines (i.e. monoethanolamine MEA, methyldiethanolamin MDEA) and ionic liquids. Four ionic liquids [BMIM]BF 4 , [BEIM]BF 4 , [BPIM]BF 4 and [BBIM]BF 4 were synthesized. The thermal stability of the ionic liquids was evaluated and viscosity was measured over the temperature range of 298–348 K. The CO 2 absorption performance of the pure ionic liquids was studied at ambient pressure and compared with the hybrid absorbents. The influence factors including temperature, stir rate and cycling numbers were then investigated. Finally, the CO 2 absorption mechanism was verified using NMR spectroscopy. Results showed that additional amine could greatly promote the CO 2 absorption performance of ionic liquids and mixed absorbents revealed different CO 2 absorption behavior depending on the amine type. This work proved that the mixed absorbent MDEA + [BEIM]BF 4 yields high cycling CO 2 capacity, energy saving, good regenerability and especially, low viscosity.

Li 4 SiO 4 sorbents for high-temperature CO 2 removal have drawn extensive attention owing to their potential application in carbon capture and storage (CCS). The major challenge in the application lies in the poor CO 2 capture performance under realistic conditions of low CO 2 concentrations, owing to the dense structure and poor porosity. In this work, Li 4 SiO 4 sorbents were prepared with porous micromorphologies and large contact areas using a variety of organometallic Li-precursors, achieving fast CO 2 sorption kinetics, high capacity and excellent cyclic stability at a low CO 2 concentration (15 vol%). It was found that a high conversion of ~ 74% was maintained for pure Li 4 SiO 4 even after 100 sorption/desorption cycles. Moreover, by doping with Na 2 CO 3 to reduce the CO 2 diffusion resistance, the conversion of the sorbent was further enhanced to 93.2%. The enhancement mechanism of alkali carbonate have been proven here to be ascribed to the formation of the eutectic melt of Li/Na carbonates, the existence and function of which has been confirmed in this study.

Dual amino functionalized ionic liquid tetramethylammonium lysinate ([N1111][Lys]) was synthesized and mixed with 2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]ethanol (DMEE) to obtain a series of nonwater absorbents for CO2 capture. The density and viscosity of the IL hybrids were measured. Using dual-vessel absorption system, CO2 absorption capacity and rate were investigated over a wide range of IL mass fractions (5–100%) to evaluate the influence of DMEE content, and 20% was chosen for further studies including influences of temperature and regeneration performances. Mass transfer coefficients with constant absorption area were calculated from apparent absorption rate constant. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and 13C NMR spectra were applied to indicate the absorption process and mechanism. This new nonwater mixed system was proved to have high absorption capacities and prominent regeneration efficiency under mild conditions (80 °C).
