Design and Application of Form Factors for Sorbent Materials
Background Many current air-capture designs feature flat air contactor surfaces with air flow predominantly tangential to those surfaces. In many cases, it may be advantageous to induce some turbulence across the sheet to enhance transport into the depth of the material. In general, it is advantageous to create surface roughness that is designed to...

Electrospun Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) – L-Arginine Nanofiber Composites for Direct Air Capture of CO2
Background The accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has been documented to be the primary driver of global warming. The global average CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise, with a predicted 1.5°C increase in global temperatures within the next two decades. The capture and storage of CO2 is an essential part of mitigating...
