Enhancing MgO efficiency in CO2 capture: engineered MgO/Mg(OH)2 composites with Cl<SUP>-</SUP>, SO4<SUP>2-</SUP>, and PO4<SUP>3-</SUP> additives

초록

The formation of a MgCO3 shell hampers CO2 capture efficiency in MgO. Our previous studies developed MgO/Mg(OH)(2) composites to facilitate CO2 diffusion, improving capture efficiency. However, MgCO3 still formed along the interfaces. To tackle this issue, we engineered the MgO/Mg(OH)(2) interfaces by incorporating Cl-, SO42-, and PO43- additives. Novel MgO-H2O-MgX (X = Cl-, SO42-, and PO43-) composites were synthesized to explore the role of additives in preventing MgCO3 formation. MgO-Mg(OH)(2)-MgCl2 nano-composites displayed enhanced CO2 adsorption and stability. This breakthrough paves the way for effective bio-inspired strategies in overcoming CO2 transport barriers in MgO-based adsorbents.
