Abstract
Fossil combustion mainly contributes to global warming and increases atmospheric CO 2 levels, an essential greenhouse gas and environmental risk. The atmospheric CO 2 level increased, emphasizing the necessity to restrict the emission while maintaining it out of the carbon cycle. Various porous adsorbents were created as CO 2 capture sorbents , but they have been just moderately successful and require upgrading with more efficient porous adsorbents to address global climate issues caused by CO 2 . Due to their tunable pore sizes, high chemical stability, superior adsorption selectivity, and large surface area, zeolite-based adsorbents are considered promising materials for CO 2 capture. Their framework structures allow for molecular sieving , ion exchange, and surface modifications, further enhancing their adsorption efficiency and regeneration capability.
