Summary: For the first time, amino acid groups were added to Fe3O4 nanoparticles to enhance CO2 absorption and desorption. The modified nanoparticles showed higher stability and presence of amino groups, resulting in increased CO2 absorption capacity. Moreover, Fe3O4@arginine, Fe3O4@histidine, and Fe3O4@glycine nanofluids significantly improved CO2 desorption enhancement.

Summary: Increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is a major concern for researchers. Chemical absorption, particularly using amines, has been found to be an effective method for CO2 capture. The absorption capacity of amines depends on various factors including reaction conditions and amine structure. This report reviews the structural dependence of amines on their absorption capacity and compares the effects of different structural changes.

Summary: This study provides a model for an LBM production plant that includes biogas upgrading and liquefaction, and investigates the optimization based on different objective function formulations. The results show that optimizing based on exergy and total annualized cost leads to similar solutions, as higher operating pressure is required to meet CO2 limitations. Additionally, the choice of refrigeration cycle has a greater impact on the overall performance of the LBM plant than the objective function formulation.

Summary: Several phase splitting systems have shown potential in reducing regeneration energy consumption for large-scale CO2 capture. This study investigated the phase splitting rules of primary/secondary amine-tertiary amine anhydrous systems and primary/secondary amine-tertiary amine-water systems, and identified factors that affect the phase splitting behavior.

Summary: The study compared the CO2 absorption capacity of three hybrid solvents based on [Bmim][OAc] and different cosolvents, with [Bmim][OAc]-DEPG250 showing the highest absorption capacity. The addition of DEPG250 significantly reduced the viscosity while maintaining comparable absorption capacity. Additionally, using [Bmim][OAc]-DEPG250 as a solvent resulted in a lower CO2 capture cost compared to aqueous amine solutions due to reduced utility costs.

Summary: The study developed hydrogel materials suitable for DAC applications, with high gas permeability, fast uptake kinetics, and minimal performance degradation after recycling. Introduction of high-boiling-point/nonaqueous solvent systems significantly improved recyclability of the materials. Incorporating different amines/solvents into hydrogel platforms allowed for controlled and significantly improved uptake kinetics.

Summary: A Zn(II)-based metal-organic framework (MOF), synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using terephthalic acid (TPA), 2-aminoterephthalic acid (NH2-TPA), and 1,4-bis(4-pyridinylmethyl)piperazine (bpmp) ligands, exhibited a sra topology with a BET surface area of 756 m(2) g(-1). The framework showed significant CO2 adsorption capacities due to the presence of carboxylate and amine substituents. The activated MOF effectively converted CO2 into cyclic carbonates, with the amine groups enhancing both sorption and conversion. GCMC molecular simulations confirmed the strong intermolecular interactions responsible for CO2 adsorption.

Summary: Aqueous tertiary amine solutions are being increasingly employed in industrial CO2 capture operations due to their higher energy efficiency and greater CO2 absorption capacity compared to primary or secondary amines. However, they often exhibit lower CO2 absorption rates, making it important to identify tertiary amines with faster absorption capabilities for practical applications.

Summary: This study presents an electrochemical direct air capture (DAC) method using air-stable redox couple of neutral red, which requires a minimum energy requirement of 65 kJ(e)/mol(CO2). Direct air capture of carbon dioxide is a viable option for mitigating CO2 emissions and their impact on global climate change.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of using water as a low-viscosity component in ternary amine-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) on their physicochemical properties, thermal stability, and CO2 absorption capacity. The results show that adding small amounts of water can significantly decrease the viscosity of DESs while maintaining high CO2 absorption capacity and thermal stability.

Summary: The study found that amine-infused hydrogel (AIH) particles can efficiently capture CO2 and have a higher CO2 uptake capacity compared to traditional MEA solution. The kinetic performance for CO2 absorption was investigated under different conditions, showing that temperature, mixing, and additives affect the CO2 absorption performance of AIH particles. AIH particles tend to agglomerate without mixing, leading to decreased CO2 absorption capacity, but remain separated and show increased CO2 uptake when mixed with the gas mixture. Additional decane and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) can alleviate particle coagulation and enhance both CO2 absorption rate and capacity.
