Engineering Nanomembranes for Direct Air Capture of Carbon Dioxide (2026-2029)

It has become evident that maintain global warming at 1.5 °C cannot be achieved simply by reducing carbon dioxide emissions through traditional precombustion and postcombustion carbon dioxide capture. A more progressive approach, known as direct air capture of carbon dioxide, is necessary to directly reduce the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. This project aims to advance the understanding of membrane technologies for direct air capture of carbon dioxide, establish the groundwork for fabricating efficient and scalable nanomembranes for this critical application.
