New diamine-appended MOFs can capture CO2 for half or less of the energy cost of current materials

Green Car Congress

UC Berkeley chemists have developed a new material that can efficiently capture CO 2 and then release it at lower temperatures than current carbon-capture materials, potentially cutting by half or more the energy currently consumed in the process. The diamine-appended metal-organic framework before and after binding of carbon dioxide.
