Effective CO₂ adsorption in hybrid 2D material with cellulose and its derivatives

ABSTRACT

The global cellulose market is expected to reach USD 305.08 billion from USD 219.53 billion, by 2026. 2D material-incorporated cellulose-systems are fabricated by different methods, including vacuum impregnation, in-situ synthesis, and solution casting. This review discusses various cellulose-based adsorbents as potential CO₂ adsorbents ascribed to their high adsorption capacity (⁓upto 6.52 mmol/g for cellulose nanofibers). The adsorption mechanism of 2D-material-based adsorbents and various kinetics and isotherms along with the desorption of CO₂ molecules from adsorbents, regeneration, and the recycling of the adsorbent are detailly discussed. The desorbed CO₂ molecule is captured and stored for the further application of CO₂ molecules.
