Abstract: | Surface functional groups (SFGs) play a key role in adsorption of any target molecule and CO2 is no exception. In fact, due to its quadrupole nature, different SFGs may attract either the oxygen or the carbon atoms to facilitate improved sorption characteristics in porous materials, hence the proliferation of this approach in the context of carbon capture via solid adsorbents. However, actual processes involve CO2 capture/removal from a mixed gas stream that may have a non-negligible water content. The presence of humidity significantly hampers the sorption properties of classical physisorbents. To overcome this, the surface of the adsorbent can be modified to include hydrophobic/hydrophilic SFGs making the materials more resilient to moisture. However, the mechanisms behind H2O-tolerance depend greatly on the characteristics of SFGs themselves. Herein, a multitude of hydrophobic and hydrophilic SFGs (e.g. carbonyls, halogens, hydroxyls, nitro groups, phenyls, various alkyl chains and etc.) for physical CO2 adsorption are reviewed within the context of their separation performance in a humid environment, highlighting their merits and limitations as well as their impact on cooperative or competitive H2O – CO2 adsorption. |
