| On-going, massive consumption of fossil fuels has made efficient separation of carbon dioxide from industrial effluents a desirable environmental goal. In order to be effective, the materials used to accomplish this goal must have high surface area, excellent chemical selectivity, be readily regenerable and designed in such a way as to accommodate high throughput. In this work, novel CO2 sorbent materials based on intelligently engineered nanostructures are synthesized, characterized and evaluated in terms of capacity and kinetics for carbon dioxide capture. |
