Among the methods for point source carbon capture, the absorption of CO2 using aqueous amines (namely MEA) from the post-combustion gas stream is currently considered the most promising.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide is captured with an aqueous solution containing a guanidine photobase and a small peptide, using a UV-light stimulus, and subsequently released when the light stimulus is removed.
Regeneration of solvents used for carbon dioxide capture requires high temperature and high energy, which is a roadblock to commercialization and large-scale deployment of absorptive carbon capture plants.

Selenate and selenite oxyanions are crystallized together with sulfate anions using ligands. In this approach, we will take advantage of the tendency of these similar oxyanions to co-precipitate into crystalline solid solutions.

A novel molecular sorbent system for low energy CO2 regeneration is developed by employing CO2-responsive molecules and salt in aqueous media where a precipitating CO2--salt fractal network is formed, resulting in solid-phase formation and sedimentation.
