Based on the X-ray diffraction patterns, the following characteristics of carbons were calculated: interplanar distance, crystallite sizes, the number of aromatic layers and carbon atoms in crystallites, the content of the amorphous phase, and the crystallographic density. In the studied graphites, the content of the amorphous phase varies in the range 0.5–10%, and the interplanar distance is 3.35 Å. The content of the amorphous phase in carbon nanofibers is 10–15%, and the interplanar distance is 3.40 Å. For the carbon nanotubes studied, the interplanar distance is 3.45–3.48 Å, and the content of the amorphous phase is 40–60%. The interplanar distance in carbon blacks varies in the range of 3.5–3.7 Å, and the content of the amorphous phase reaches 70%. The structure of all the studied carbon materials contains highly crystalline and low crystalline phases, as well as an amorphous phase. In the X-ray diffraction patterns of nanofibers, nanotubes, and carbon blacks, a shift and broadening of the (002) reflections is observed compared to graphite.

Capture systems for such sources faced rapidly fluctuating exhaust compositions, temperatures, and flows, under which solvent performance had been poorly characterized. The research gap concerned the limited availability of transient metrics and comparative evidence for hybrid amine–amino acid sorbents under realistic load changes. The objective was to determine how formulation influenced instantaneous capture efficiency, response time, and regeneration energy during stepwise engine operation. A bench-scale packed column was coupled to a diesel generator subjected to programmed load steps; six solvents—30% MEA, 8% PZ, an MEA+PZ blend, and lysine, arginine, and alanine salts—were evaluated. Efficiency and response time were determined from 1 Hz inlet–outlet CO<sub>2</sub> measurements using a 90% approach-to-steady criterion; regeneration energy was calculated from batch desorption duties normalized per mole of CO<sub>2</sub> released. The MEA+PZ blend achieved sub-minute response times across all steps and the highest cumulative uptake, while maintaining high capture as the Load increased. Lag times were reduced by 55–67% relative to MEA and by approximately 25% relative to PZ. Amino-acid solutions exhibited longer lags and lower uptake consistent with higher viscosity and reduced free-amine availability. Energy analysis indicated that a disproportionate regeneration penalty did not offset the blend’s kinetic advantage. These findings suggest that hybrid amine systems offer robust operation under dynamic exhaust conditions, potentially enabling smaller columns or reduced circulation rates. Future work should examine long-duration cycling, promoter optimization, and integration with real-world duty cycles and control strat<i>egies.</i></p>","PeriodicalId":532,"journal":{"name":"Doklady Physical Chemistry","volume":"520 3","pages":"99 - 115"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147341930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
