(18a) Bioinspired Membranes for CO2 Capture

Learning from the compositions, structures, formations and functions of natural materials, a myriad of bioinspired membranes have been prepared for efficient CO₂ separation. In this presentation, the following issues and examples will be covered.

Using cell, cell membrane (including aquaporin), marine mussel, carbonic anhydrase and as representative prototypes;

Using biomineralization, bioadhesion, surface segregation as major tools;

Using microcapsules and salts to tune the water environment;

Using GO and functional crosslinker to construct CO₂ transport highways.
