Feedstock-Driven Design of CO2 Sorbents via Chemical Upcycling of Plastics and Elastomers.
Plastic and elastomer wastes are abundant, carbon-rich feedstocks. At the same time, carbon capture requires sorbents that perform under realistic temperatures, humidity, dilute CO2, and repeated regeneration. This review surveys feedstock-driven chemical upcycling routes that transform waste polymers into CO2 sorbents...
