Cost-Effective Nanoporous Hypercross-linked Polymers Could Drastically Promote the CO₂ Absorption Rate in Amine-Based Solvents, Improving Energy-Efficient CO₂ Capture

Energy-efficient solvents with favorable thermodynamic properties that offer significantly low regeneration energy to the state-of-the-art CO2 capture technologies are typically limited by slow reactivity with CO2. To compensate for low absorption rates, herein, we report that the nonporous hypercross-linked polymeric (HCP) networks as rate promoters are capable of drastically accelerating CO2 absorption in N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)...
