Reticular chemistry enables the design of precision adsorbent materials, such as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs), that can be integrated into modules for direct air capture (DAC) and post-combustion carbon capture (PCC). In this presentation, Atoco's VP for Technology Partnerships, Prof. Grant Glover, will explore how nano-engineered solid sorbents can improve CO₂ uptake under humid and low-concentration conditions and enable low-temperature desorption using low-grade waste heat. The talk will also touch on how adsorption cycle design supports the balance of recovery, purity, and yield, and why advanced characterization, including mixed-gas adsorption, cyclic breakthrough testing, thermal stability, water adsorption behavior, and adsorption kinetics, is critical to moving materials from laboratory performance toward scalable capture systems.
