Quaternary functionalized mesoporous adsorbents for ultra-high kinetics of CO2 capture from air

Abstract Obstacles to widespread deployments of direct air capture of CO2 (DAC) lie in high material and energy costs. By grafting quaternary ammonium (QA) functional group to mesoporous polymers with high surface area, a unique DAC adsorbent with moisture swing adsorption (MSA) ability and ultra-hi...
