Crawford, J.M., Rasumussen, J., McNeary, W., Hayden, S., Dutta, N., Pang, S., Yung, M. (2024) High Selectivity Reactive Carbon Dioxide Capture over Zeolite Dual-Functional Materials. ACS Catalysis.

About the Cover:

Hybrid sorbent-catalysts are the heart of the reactive carbon dioxide capture process. Here, we introduce a series of zeolite dual-functional materials (ZFMs) featuring sodium oxide sites for CO2 capture and dispersed noble metal sites for H2 activation. ZFMs display high carbon dioxide uptake and high selectivity where the terminal C1 hydrogenation products are controlled by the active metal species.

About the Cover:

As a top industrial chemical, ammonia has wide global uses. One challenge is the safe and affordable transport of NH3. Porous sorbents have been proposed as high uptake storage materials; however, irreversible binding and poor recyclability are barriers to their success. In this proof-of-concept work, we show that NH3 can be removed by heat produced during the healing of oxygen vacancy sites in metal–zeolite nanocomposites.
