Facile Fabrication of Monodispersed Carbon Sphere: A Pathway Toward Energy-Efficient Direct Air Capture (DAC) Using Amino Acids

Masood S. Alivand et al.

Summary: Direct air capture (DAC) is a technology that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to control its concentration. However, the energy-intensive CO2 absorption-desorption processes limit its deployment. This study presents a one-step synthesis method to prepare monodispersed carbon nanospheres (MCSs) that can be functionalized with strong acid sites to enhance CO2 desorption. These acidic MCSs demonstrated superior catalytic efficiency and can be effectively used in amino acid solutions to accelerate CO2 desorption in the DAC process.
