Advanced Membranes and Learning Scale Required for Cost-Effective Post-combustion Carbon Capture.

ABSTRACT: This study offers an integrated vision for advanced membrane technology for post-combustion carbon capture. To inform development of new-generation materials, a plant-level techno-economic analysis is performed to explore major membrane property targets required for cost-effective CO₂ capture. To be competitive with amine-based nth-of-a-kind (NOAK) technology or meet a more ambitious cost target for 90% CO₂ capture, advanced membranes should have a higher CO₂ permeance than 2,250 GPU and a higher CO₂/N₂ selectivity than 30 if their installed prices are higher than $50/m². To assess learning experience required for advanced technology using such high-performance membranes toward commercialization, a hybrid approach that combines learning curves with the techno-economic analysis is applied to project the cumulative installed capacity necessary for the evolution from first-of-a-kind to NOAK systems. The estimated learning scale for advanced membrane technology is more than 10 GW, depending on multiple factors. Implications for research, development, and policy are discussed.

Holey graphene frameworks for highly selective post-combustion carbon capture.

Project description:Atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to rise rapidly in response to increased combustion of fossil fuels, contributing to global climate change. In order to mitigate the effects of global warming, development of new materials for cost-effective and energy-efficient CO2 capture is critically important. Graphene-based porous materials are an emerging class of solid adsorbents for selectively removing CO2 from flue gases. Herein, we report a simple and scalable approach to produce three-dimensional holey graphene frameworks with tunable porosity and pore geometry, and demonstrate their application as high-performance CO2 adsorbents. These holey graphene macrostructures exhibit a significantly improved specific surface area and pore volume compared to their pristine counterparts, and can be effectively used in post-combustion CO2 adsorption systems because of their intrinsic hydrophobicity together with good gravimetric storage capacities, rapid removal capabilities, superior cycling stabilities, and moderate initial isosteric heats. In addition, an exceptionally high CO2 over N2 selectivity can be achieved under conditions relevant to capture from the dry exhaust gas stream of a coal burning power plant, suggesting the possibility of recovering highly pure CO2 for long-term sequestration and/or utilization for downstream applications.

Physical and Chemical Activation of Graphene-Derived Porous Nanomaterials for Post-Combustion Carbon Dioxide Capture.

Project description:Activation is commonly used to improve the surface and porosity of different kinds of carbon nanomaterials: activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon black. In this study, both physical and chemical activations are applied to graphene oxide by using CO2 and KOH-based approaches, respectively. The structural and the chemical properties of the prepared activated graphene are deeply characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and nitrogen adsorption. Temperature activation is shown to be a key parameter leading to enhanced CO2 adsorption capacity of the graphene oxide-based materials. The specific surface area is increased from 219.3 m2 g-1 for starting graphene oxide to 762.5 and 1060.5 m2 g-1 after physical and chemical activation, respectively. The performance of CO2 adsorption is gradually enhanced with the activation temperature for both approaches: for the best performances of a factor of 6.5 and 9 for physical and chemical activation, respectively. The measured CO2 capacities are of 27.2 mg g-1 and 38.9 mg g-1 for the physically and chemically activated graphene, respectively, at 25 °C and 1 bar.

Developing Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Porous Adsorbent for Carbon Dioxide Capture.

Project description:To address the issue of global warming and climate change issues, recent research efforts have highlighted opportunities for capturing and electrochemically converting carbon dioxide (CO2). Despite metal doped polymers receiving widespread attention in this respect, the structures hitherto reported lack in ease of synthesis with scale up feasibility. In this study, a series of mesoporous metal-doped polymers (MRFs) with tunable metal functionality and hierarchical porosity were successfully synthesized using a one-step copolymerization of resorcinol and formaldehyde with Polyethyleneimine (PEI) under solvothermal conditions. The effect of PEI and metal doping concentrations were observed on physical properties and adsorption results. The results confirmed the role of PEI on the mesoporosity of the polymer networks and high surface area in addition to enhanced CO2 capture capacity. The resulting Cobalt doped material shows excellent thermal stability and promising CO2 capture performance, with equilibrium adsorption of 2.3 mmol CO2/g at 0 °C and 1 bar for at a surface area 675.62 m2/g. This mesoporous polymer, with its ease of synthesis is a promising candidate for promising for CO2 capture and possible subsequent electrochemical conversion.

Water Vapor Adsorption on Biomass Based Carbons under Post-Combustion CO₂ Capture Conditions: Effect of Post-Treatment.

Project description:The effect of post-treatment upon the H₂O adsorption performance of biomass-based carbons was studied under post-combustion CO₂ capture conditions. Oxygen surface functionalities were partially replaced through heat treatment, acid washing, and wet impregnation with amines. The surface chemistry of the final carbon is strongly affected by the type of post-treatment: acid treatment introduces a greater amount of oxygen whereas it is substantially reduced after thermal treatment. The porous texture of the carbons is also influenced by post-treatment: the wider pore volume is somewhat reduced, while narrow microporosity remains unaltered only after acid treatment. Despite heat treatment leading to a reduction in the number of oxygen surface groups, water vapor adsorption was enhanced in the higher pressure range. On the other hand acid treatment and wet impregnation with amines reduce the total water vapor uptake thus being more suitable for post-combustion CO₂ capture applications.

Total cost of carbon capture and storage implemented at a regional scale: northeastern and midwestern United States.

Project description:We model the costs of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in subsurface geological formations for emissions from 138 northeastern and midwestern electricity-generating power plants. The analysis suggests coal-sourced CO2 emissions can be stored in this region at a cost of $52-$60 ton-1, whereas the cost to store emission from natural-gas-fired plants ranges from approximately $80 to $90. Storing emissions offshore increases the lowest total costs of CCS to over $60 per ton of CO2 for coal. Because there apparently is sufficient onshore storage in the northeastern and midwestern United States, offshore storage is not necessary or economical unless there are additional costs or suitability issues associated with the onshore reservoirs. For example, if formation pressures are prohibitive in a large-scale deployment of onshore CCS, or if there is opposition to onshore storage, offshore storage space could probably store emissions at an additional cost of less than $10 ton-1. Finally, it is likely that more than 8 Gt of total CO2 emissions from this region can be stored for less $60 ton-1, slightly more than the $50 ton-1 Section 45Q tax credits incentivizing CCS.

Cost-effective, high-throughput DNA sequencing libraries for multiplexed target capture.

Project description:Improvements in technology have reduced the cost of DNA sequencing to the point that the limiting factor for many experiments is the time and reagent cost of sample preparation. We present an approach in which 192 sequencing libraries can be produced in a single day of technician time at a cost of about $15 per sample. These libraries are effective not only for low-pass whole-genome sequencing, but also for simultaneously enriching them in pools of approximately 100 individually barcoded samples for a subset of the genome without substantial loss in efficiency of target capture. We illustrate the power and effectiveness of this approach on about 2000 samples from a prostate cancer study.

Well-ST-seq: cost-effective and cellular level spatial transcriptomics with high RNA capture efficiency

Project description:Spatial transcriptomic technologies are promising tools to reveal fine anatomical profiles of tissues. In the case of methodologies utilizing barcoded probe arrays, achieving a balance among probe barcoding complexity, cost, gene capture sensitivity, and spatial resolution is crucial for accelerating the spreading speed of spatial transcriptomic in basic science and clinical work. Here, we developed spatially cellular-level RNA-capture probe arrays using miniaturized microfluidic and microarray technologies. By leveraging the predetermined and cost-effective probe fixation characteristics of this methodology, we significantly reduced the consumable cost of the probe array to $0.31/mm2 and fabrication time to approximately 2 hours. Furthermore, the modification of the RNA-capture probe on sequencing slides by microfluidic chip does not rely on large imaging or printing instruments. Notably, the efficiency of the transcript captured by the probe array is even comparable to conventional single-cell RNA sequencing. Based on this technology, the stacked three-dimensional transcriptome atlas and the spatial cell heterogeneity of mouse brains were successfully visualized. Taken together, we present an experimental and analytical framework for the spatial investigation of mouse brain structures and cell phenotypes.

Flying MOFs: polyamine-containing fluidized MOF/SiO2 hybrid materials for CO2 capture from post-combustion flue gas.

Project description:Solid-state synthesis ensures a high loading and well-dispersed growth of a large collection of metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructures within a series of commercially available mesoporous silica. This approach provides a general, highly efficient, scalable, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive strategy for shaping MOFs into a fluidized form, thereby allowing their application in fluidized-bed reactors for diverse applications, such as CO2 capture from post-combustion flue gas. A collection of polyamine-impregnated MOF/SiO2 hybrid sorbents were evaluated for CO2 capture under simulated flue gas conditions in a packed-bed reactor. Hybrid sorbents containing a moderate loading of (Zn)ZIF-8 are the most promising sorbents in terms of CO2 adsorption capacity and long-term stability (up to 250 cycles in the presence of contaminants: SO2, NO x and H2S) and were successfully prepared at the kilogram scale. These hybrid sorbents demonstrated excellent fluidizability and performance under the relevant process conditions in a visual fluidized-bed reactor. Moreover, a biochemically inspired strategy for covalently linking polyamines to MOF/SiO2 through strong phosphine bonds has been first introduced in this work as a powerful and highly versatile post-synthesis modification for MOF chemistry, thus providing a novel alternative towards more stable CO2 solid sorbents.

Effective Removal of Tetracycline Antibiotics from Water using Hybrid Carbon Membranes.

Project description:Antibiotic residues in drinking water have become a global problem, especially in developing countries. However, effective purification of water contaminated by antibiotics remains a great challenge. Here, we investigated the removing of tetracycline by carbon nanomaterials with different structures and surface functionalities. The result shows that a membrane of thick graphene oxide (GO) and activated carbon (AC) with a thickness of 15 μm can effectively remove 98.9% of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) from water by vacuum filtration. Structural analysis indicated that the AC nanoparticles were uniformly inserted into the GO interstitial sites without any aggregations. Also, GO sheets were loosened by the encapsulated AC nanoparticles, leading to the formation of numerous tiny pores (3-10 nm) that acted as channels for fluid passage, whereas the carbons and chemical groups on the GO surface adsorbed TCH. GO/AC membrane exhibits the best adsorption efficiency among the investigated materials, including pure GO, AC, carbon nanotube (CNT), and CNT/AC and GO/CNT hybrids.
