Cyclopropenimines for enhanced carbon capture and upcycling

Direct air capture of CO2.

This technology is a direct air capture (DAC) system which uses alkaline sorbent material and moisture to capture and desorb CO2, respectively, for carbon capture and storage (CCS) and to mitigate climate change.

Unmet Need: Direct air capture process that efficiently desorbs CO2 from sorbent material.

Unmet Need: Environmentally safe, efficient methods for carbon dioxide conversion.

Applications: Carbon capture for repurposing.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major contributor to climate change, prompting efforts to capture and reuse or store the gas.

Unmet Need: Effective method to generate formaldehyde from carbon dioxide.

Furthermore, isotopologues of the bis(silyl)acetal, prepared with labeled carbon dioxide, can be used to incorporate isotopes into organic molecules.

Production of labeled organic molecules.
