Moisture-Activated Sorbent Captures CO₂ from Air Without Thermal Input

Summary

The team is collaborating with ASU’s Center for Negative Carbon Emissions, or CNCE, a research facility focused on reducing and actively removing carbon emissions. CNCE, in partnership with Purolite, is developing a revolutionary solvent that absorbs carbon with minimal thermal energy input. To attract investment and customers, more data on the solvent’s long-term performance and commercial viability is needed. The current testing process is too slow, hindering data collection. ASU has tasked the team with developing a new method to significantly reduce the testing cycle time, enabling faster data gathering on the solvent’s performance.
