On March 1, 2003, the ECS Executive Committee approved the release of the following statement acknowledging the devastation and impact of the natural disasters occurring in southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia:
The ECS community stands in solidarity with our valued members from Turkey and Syria in grieving the loss of more than 47,000 precious lives and counting, and the unprecedented destruction caused by the continuing series of devastating earthquakes that began striking the region with back-to-back earthquakes of magnitudes 7.8 and 7.5 on February 6, 2023.

Carbon capture is considered a critical means for climate change mitigation. Unfortunately, conventional thermochemical methods suffer from high energy consumption, motivating the search for more efficient carbon dioxide separation strategies driven by non-thermal stimuli. In this talk, I share our research efforts on developing materials and processes for electrochemically mediated carbon capture. First, I present a library of electrochemically tunable Lewis bases with redox-active nitrogen centers that can reversibly capture and release carbon dioxide through a reduction-oxidation cycle. The mechanisms of the carbon capture process are elucidated via a combined experimental and computational approach. I show that the properties of these Lewis base sorbents can be fine tuned via rational molecular design and electrolyte engineering. I then discuss challenges and opportunities for sorbent and electrochemical reactor designs toward practical carbon capture processes driven by electrochemical stimuli. (more…)
