Abstract

Selective capture of CO2 can play a crucial role in mitigating global climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes and energy production operations. Numerous efforts have been devoted to the development of cost-effective technologies for reliable and affordable capture of CO2. In this context, aerogels have received significant attention, due to their light weight, extreme porosity, and enormous specific surface area. In addition, their rich surface chemistry allows the possibility of developing hybrid aerogels that can overcome the limitations associated with conventional aerogels. For instance, aerogels ...
