| Abstract | Carbon dioxide (CO₂) can be used to make useful products like fuels, plastics, and bioplastics. One way to obtain CO₂ is direct air capture (DAC), which removes carbon dioxide from air. The most common method, called solid sorbent direct air capture (S-DAC), uses special materials that trap CO₂ from air. Despite its potential, the technology is not widely used yet because its performance depends on weather conditions like temperature and humidity. This joint project between NSF (US) and EPSRC (U |
