GC-MS analysis of alkylpyrazines in the pyrolysis oils of silica-polyethylenimine CO2 sorbents (2023)
Journal Article
Coralli, I., Spada, L., Fabbri, D., Pour, S. R. S., Fiori, J., Vassura, I., …Snape, C. E. (2024). GC-MS analysis of alkylpyrazines in the pyrolysis oils of silica-polyethylenimine CO2 sorbents. Journal of Chromatography Open, 5, Article 100108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcoa.2023.100108

Solid sorbents based on silica and polyethyleneimine (PEI) are intensively investigated in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS). Pyrolysis was proposed as a thermal process to recover the pure silica from exhausted sorbents and convert PEI i...

The search for alternative ways to give a second life to materials paved the way for detailed investigation into three silica-polyethylenimine (Si-PEI) materials for the purpose of CO2 adsorption in carbon capture and storage. A solvent extraction pr... Read More about Valorization Strategies in CO2 Capture: A New Life for Exhausted Silica-Polyethylenimine.

Amine functionalized lignin-based mesoporous cellular carbons for CO2 capture (2023)
Journal Article
Sani, S., Liu, X., Stevens, L., Wang, H., & Sun, C. (2023). Amine functionalized lignin-based mesoporous cellular carbons for CO2 capture. Fuel, 351, Article 128886. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2023.128886

Amine-impregnated mesoporous carbon sorbents have been considered one of the most promising sorbents for CO2 capture from streams with low CO2 concentrations. In this work, a series of novel solid amine adsorbents were prepared by impregnating polyet... Read More about Amine functionalized lignin-based mesoporous cellular carbons for CO2 capture.

Rapid synthesis of magnetic microspheres and the development of new macro-micro hierarchically porous magnetic framework composites (2023)
Journal Article
Woodliffe, J. L., Molinar-Díaz, J., Islam, M. T., Stevens, L. A., Wadge, M. D., Rance, G. A., …Laybourn, A. (2023). Rapid synthesis of magnetic microspheres and the development of new macro-micro hierarchically porous magnetic framework composites. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 11(27), 14705-14719. https://doi.org/10.1039/D3TA01927F

Magnetic framework composites (MFCs) are a highly interesting group of materials that contain both metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and magnetic materials. Combining the unique benefits of MOFs (tuneable natures, high surface areas) with the advantage...
