Abstract
Economic synthesis of amine-modified solid adsorbents is pivotal for the global-scale direct air capture (DAC) technologies required to realize net-zero emissions. To address the problems of the traditional reflux method using excessively costly amino silane, we propose introducing silane by impregnation into mesoporous silica with interconnected three-dimensional pores. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, transmission electron and scanning electron microscopies, magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, and elemental analysis identified the spatial distribution of amino silane in the materials with different loading levels. The results of structure characterization and a comparison with a reference experiment (using a porous support with one-dimensional pores and/or the conventional reflux method) revealed that the proposed strategy provided a uniform amine distribution, together with a high utilization efficiency of the amino silane. We also demonstrate that the obtained material has a high adsorption capacity and good recycling stability comparable to those of the previously reported amino silane modified adsorbents under simulated DAC conditions.
期刊介绍:
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
