The polymer-based solid electrolyte is coated with sulfonic acid ligands to conduct positive charge or amino functional groups to conduct negative ions. Currently, people produce catalysts on the milligram or gram scales. We developed a way to produce them at the kilogram scale. That will make our process easier to scale up for industry.

They added diamine molecules to a magnesium-based MOF to catalyze the formation of polymer chains of CO 2 that could then be purged by flushing with a humid stream of carbon dioxide. For CO 2 capture, steam stripping—where you use direct contact with steam to take off the CO 2 —has been a sort of holy grail for the field.
