Abstract

Steaming out captured CO 2 Although natural gas is less carbon dioxide (CO 2 )–intensive than coal, capturing its emitted CO 2 can be more challenging because combined-cycle natural gas combustion has a CO 2 concentration that is only one-third of that of coal combustion and contains high concentrations of oxygen and water. Kim et al. report on a tetraamine-functionalized magnesium metal–organic framework that displays two-step cooperative CO 2 adsorption that leads to a high CO 2 capacity and adsorption enthalpy (see the Perspective by Peh and Zhao). This material could capture CO 2 from humid air and could be regenerated with steam, a method that is more economical than temperature or pressure swing methods.
