Advancements in materials science have led researchers to explore nature for new materials, and in this case, cyclodextrins have been functionalized to improve their CO2 adsorption capacity. These functionalized cyclodextrins showed similar adsorption capacity to BEA zeolite and could also enhance drug adsorption. Characterization techniques such as NMR and mass spectrometry were used to determine the degree of functionalization, and FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence and interaction of CO2 adsorbed by the material. In silico studies further supported the chemisorption process observed experimentally.
Advances in materials science and technology have prompted researchers to look to nature for new high-performance, low-cost materials. Among these, cyclodextrins have been widely used as a material in industrial applications. Inspired by previous work by our research group that led to the functionalization of cucurbit[6]uryl and its conversion into supramolecular nanospheres with good CO2 adsorption capacity, this work aims to improve the ability of cyclodextrins to capture CO2 by functionalizing them with amide groups. Carbon dioxide adsorption experiments on functionalized cyclodextrins showed an adsorption capacity similar to that of BEA zeolite, a material currently used in the industry for gas adsorption. Moreover, these adsorption properties could also be exploited to improve the adsorption capacity of drugs, a field in which cyclodextrins are widely used. The new cyclodextrin molecules were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, thanks to which we could determine the degree of functionalization of the new macrocycles. In addition, using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, we demonstrated the presence and interaction of carbon dioxide adsorbed by the material, whereas an in silico study confirmed the chemisorption as the principal adsorption process, as experimentally inferred using the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model.
