Capturing Carbon Dioxide from Air by Using Amine-Functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks

Along with the rapid rise of industry and technology,carbon dioxide(CO2)is released as a major by-product of fossil fuels combustion.The continuous CO2 emission results in a steep increase of atmospheric CO2 concentrations and precipitated severe environmental and climatic ramifications.Therefore,it is of great importance to reduce CO2 emission and atmospheric CO2 concentrations.Removing CO2 directly from air is one of the most straightforward strategies to mitigate atmospheric CO2 concentrations[1].
