Researchers at ORNL have demonstrated that small molecular tweaks to surfaces can improve absorption technology for direct air capture of carbon dioxide. The team added a charged polymer layer to an amino acid solution, and then, through spectroscopy and simulation, found that the charged layer can hold amino acids at its surface.

Scientific Achievement: The hydration of MgO under various ambient conditions revealed that high relative humidity promotes formation of a hydrated, disordered layer on MgO. Significance and Impact: Results demonstrate that direct air capture of carbon dioxide that utilizes MgO as a substrate is most effective under high relative humidity. DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c14823
