A simple, cheap material for carbon capture, perhaps from tailpipes

Science Daily  August 5, 2022 A team of researchers in the US (UC Berkely, Stanford University, Texas A&M) has demonstrated new sustainable, solid-state, polyamine-appended, cyanuric acid–stabilized melamine nano porous networks (MNNs) via dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) at the kilogram scale toward effective and high-capacity carbon dioxide capture. Polyamine-appended MNNs reaction mechanisms with carbon dioxide were elucidated with double-level DCC where two-dimensional heteronuclear chemical shift correlation nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed to demonstrate the interatomic interactions. They distinguished ammonium carbamate pairs and a mix of ammonium carbamate and carbamic acid during carbon dioxide chemisorption. The coordination of polyamine and cyanuric […]
