As CO2 concentrations continue to rise, the Earth's global climate system is constantly confronting catastrophic changes. Researchers and industries have devised and implemented a variety of methods and technologies to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Among the solutions considered, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown tremendous potential as solid adsorbents and membranes for the capture and separation of CO2. However, only a handful of these materials have a chance of making it to market. In this presentation, we will address the design, synthesis, and processing of functional microporous materials for CO2 capture from both the source point and the ambient air. This covers strategies for optimizing adsorption capacity, gas pair selectivity, stability, mechanical properties, and scalability—factors that must be tuned to meet the requirements for practical separation applications.
