Abstract
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical strategy for mitigating carbon dioxide emissions and the negative effects of climate change. Among various CCS technologies, adsorption has emerged as a promising approach due to its low energy consumption, ease of operation, and versatility. In recent years, polymer materials have gained increasing attention for use as adsorbents due to their tuneable properties and high carbon capture capacities. This review paper presents an overview of the technical and sustainable developments in the field of polymer materials and technology for carbon capture using adsorption. This review focuses on the types of polymer materials that have been investigated for carbon capture applications, including synthetic and natural polymers, as well as their composites. The second part discusses the adsorption performance of polymer materials for capturing carbon dioxide, including their adsorption capacity, selectivity, and regeneration properties. Finally, the review discusses the sustainability aspects of using polymer materials for carbon capture, including their environmental impact and cost-effectiveness. The review concludes that polymer-based adsorbents have shown great potential for carbon capture applications, and further research and development are needed to optimize their performance and make them economically viable.
