Carbon dioxide capture by adsorption on amine incorporated hexagonal mesoporous silica

Post combustion carbon capture technologies could benefit by the utilization of cost-effective solid sorbents. Amine incorporated hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) materials have been recently proposed in order to overcome the limitations of the commercial liquid phase amine-based adsorption. In this paper the properties of as-synthesized HMS were studied in order to verify the effectiveness of the templating amine and establish a strategy for the optimization of this contribution.
