Nanostructured architectures and unconventional separation media hold the key to future chemical separations in gas storage and purification, environmental remediation, and many clean-up activities. Replacing energy-intensive separation methods by energy-efficient processes, such as membrane separation or adsorption, is an essential step toward substantial future energy savings. This talk will be focused on our recent investigation on development of porous carbons, ionic liquids, and their combination for CO<sub>2</sub> separation. Hierarchical synthesis methodologies for porous carbons and polymers based on self-assembly will be examined to generate controlled adsorption sites integrated within novel separation media. The methodology to control the multitude of interactions that determine separation efficacy within ionic liquids will be also discussed.
