Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
CO2 capture remains a significant industrial challenge, primarily constrained by high energy costs and poor stability. Here, we demonstrated the precise hydrogen-bond (HB) modulation to achieve highly efficient CO2 capture and release. With the electronic interface of Ni-embedded porous carbon spheres (Ni@C), CO2 has been effectively activated at the electron-rich interfaces. Multiple evidence (in situ spectroscopy/DFT/AIMD) identifies a reversible HB-organized CO2*–H2O–N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) trimer that shuttles protons to form HCO3−–MDEAH+, establishing a rate-determining step distinct from conventional mechanisms. Tuning such an HB scaffold yields a 127% higher absorption rate, 68% shorter equilibration, 42% faster desorption, and 14% greater desorption capacity, delivering 20% lower energy consumption. Such an approach enables rapid absorption and low-temperature desorption at 62°C, reducing energy consumption by ~60% compared with commercial amines. Over 744 h of continuous operation, the system retains 27% higher cyclical capacity, underscoring its industrial scalability. Scalable synthesis and a general metal@carbon architecture support translation. By elevating HB control to a design principle, this work outlines an energy-minimization paradigm for practical, low-cost CO2 capture.
