Project
Fundamental Characterization of Amine Sorbents Stability for Direct Air Capture
Project Description
Amino polymer adsorbents have stability limitations in Direct Air Capture (DAC) applications. This project’s primary goal is to understand degradation reactions and pathways at the molecular level and design processes, conditions, or sorbents that mitigate deactivation.
