Research advances on upcycling organic solid waste into CO2 adsorbents:A cross-research review
Carbon capture technologies is indispensable to achieve carbon neutrality goals.In particular,upcycling organic solid waste into porous carbon materials for capturing CO2 is a sustainable and practical approach that simultaneously mitigates climate change and solid waste pollutions,and thus the syntheses and applications of its adsorbents have been extensively explored.In recent years,in addition to chemical engineering,material science and thermal engineering research methods,many scholars in this field have used molecular simulation,machine learning,life cycle assessment and other research methods to carry out distinctive cross-research on valorization of organic solid waste into CO2 adsorbents.However,the above-mentioned cross-cutting research is still relatively scattered,lacking a contextual summary,and its rich potential has not been systematically elucidated.This review addressed the research advances on upcycling organic solid waste into porous carbons for adsorbing CO2.In addition to the conventional process methods and the performance level of the adsorbents,it focused on the application of cross-research in this field,mainly including molecular simulation,machine learning and life cycle assessment.This review provided valuable guidelines for the potential development direction of cross-research in this field through contextual analyses.
