Abstract

The urgency to address global climate change induced by greenhouse gas emissions is increasing. In particular, the rise in atmospheric CO₂ levels is generating alarm. Technologies to remove CO₂ from ambient air, or “direct air capture” (DAC), have recently demonstrated that they can contribute to “negative carbon emission.” Recent advances in surface chemistry and material synthesis have resulted in new generations of CO₂ sorbents, which may drive the future of DAC and its large-scale deployment. This Review describes major types of sorbents designed to capture CO₂ from ambient air and they are categorized by the sorption mechanism: physisorption, chemisorption, and moisture-swing sorption.
