Direct air capture of CO<sub>2</sub><i>via</i>crystal engineering
Radu Custelcean
Abstract
This article presents a perspective view of the topic of direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide and its role in mitigating climate change, focusing on a promising approach to DAC involving crystal engineering of metal-organic and hydrogen-bonded frameworks. The structures of these crystalline materials can be easily elucidated using X-ray and neutron diffraction methods, thereby allowing for systematic structure-property relationships studies, and precise tuning of their DAC performance.
