Preparation and Properties of A Hyperbranch-Structured Polyamine adsorbent for Carbon Dioxide Capture.

ABSTRACT: A fibrous adsorbent with amino-terminated hyperbranch structure (PP-AM-HBP-NH₂) was prepared by grafting hyperbranched polyamine (HBP-NH₂) onto the acrylamide-modified polypropylene (PP) fibers. The grafting of AM on PP fibers provided the active sites for introducing HBP-NH₂ onto the PP fibers. This kind of "grafting to" procedure to synthesize hyperbranch-structured fiber could overcome the disadvantages of stepwise growth procedure, avoiding the complicated synthesis process and the requirement of strict experimental conditions. The grafted HBP-NH₂ was three-dimensional dentritic architecture and had a large number of pores existing within the grafted polymers, which is favorable for CO₂ molecules to diffuse into the HBP-NH₂. Therefore, the as-prepared PP-AM-HBP-NH₂ fibers showed a high adsorption capacity (5.64?mmol/g) for CO₂ in the presence of water at 25?°C, and the utilization efficiency of alkyl amino groups could reach 88.2%, demonstrating that the hyperbranched structure of adsorbents can greatly promote adsorption capacity and efficiency. This could be attributed to better swelling properties and lower mass transfer resistance to CO₂ of the hyperbranched adsorbent. PP-AM-HBP-NH₂ also showed excellent regeneration performance, and it could maintain the same adsorption capacity for CO₂ after 15 recycle numbers as the fresh adsorbent.

Project description:ConspectusTo say the least, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere is reaping undue environmental consequences given the ever-present increase in severe global weather events over the past five years. However, it can be argued that-at least in the confines of current technological capabilities-the atmospheric release of CO2 is somewhat unavoidable given that even shifting toward clean energy sources-such as solar, nuclear, wind, battery, or H2 power-incurs an initial carbon requirement by way of manufacturing the very production abilities through which "clean" energy is generated. Even years from now, experts agree that energy production will be diversified and-as the global population continues to drive the growth of global energy consumption-thermal power derived from carbon combustion is likely to remain one intrinsic energetic source, of which CO2 will always be a byproduct. In this context, it is the responsibility of the scientific community to devise improved pathways of carbon management such that (i) the consequences of combustion on the global environment are reduced and (ii) carbon fuels can be leveraged in a sustainable fashion.In this Account, we discuss a pivotal perspective shift on CO2 emissions derived from a considerable breakthrough in material science from our work on shape engineering of nanoporous adsorbents and catalysts. This account details the development of materials which no longer vilify CO2 emissions as a valueless combustion byproduct, instead providing a path for them to become a potential feedstock. In more specific terms, this work details the development of structured, cooperative "bifunctional" materials (BFMs) comprised of (i) a high-temperature adsorbent and (ii) a heterogeneous catalyst that enable single-bed CO2 capture and utilization in oxidative ethane dehydrogenation (ODHE), oxidative propane dehydrogenation (ODHP), and dry methane reforming (DMR) processes. This Account begins with the conceptual development of the BFMs in the powdered state, followed by detailing the first-ever reports of structuring the materials into facile honeycomb contactors by 3D printing. The Account then summarizes the impressive performance of the 3D-printed BFMs, specifically focusing on how their catalysts (metal oxides and perovskites) influence their reactive CO2 capture performances in ODHE, ODHP, and DMR processes. Such promise of CO2-as-fuel offers a glimpse into the future of a diversified energy economy, in which CO2/fuel looping can play an important role. A major factor in achieving this future is, of course, developing an appropriately active catalyst; an account of whose first breakthroughs in material science are detailed herein.
