Alkali/alkaline earth metal-doped 2D carbonaceous materials for ultra-high CO2 capture and separation
摘要
With the development of society, reducing CO2 emissions through CO2 capture and separation technology has become crucial. Here, a two-dimensional carbonaceous structure CM composed of 16 carbon atoms is used as the substrate, then doping five S-block metal atoms (Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca) to form the structure SBM-CM for CO2 capture and separation. This study analyzes the structural stability, pore characteristics, electronic structures, CO₂ adsorption and separation capacity, the interaction between gas and structure, and gas distribution of SBM-CM. The findings reveal that five SBM-CM have binding energy ranging from − 2.54 to − 0.23 eV and high cohesive energy ranging from 6.78 to 7.00 eV/atom The Ca-CM structure showed high CO₂ adsorption capacity of 8.59 mmol/g and high selectivity of ~ 502 over N2 and ~ 894 over CH4 at 298 K and 1.0 bar. These results underscore the potential of SBM-CM as an ultra-high-performance CO2 adsorbent material.
