In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers developed a novel adsorbent composed of nanoporous metatitanic acid supported on γ-Al₂O₃ aerogel. The aim is to enhance CO₂ adsorption capacity and improve regeneration efficiency. The research investigated the optimal conditions for CO₂ capture and the structural characteristics of the synthesised materials, contributing to the advancement of carbon capture technologies.
Background
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are emerging as solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Among various methods, adsorption is promising due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Traditional adsorbents, such as zeolites and activated carbons, have adsorption capacity and regeneration limitations.
