Integrating Crystallographic and Computational Approaches to Carbon-Capture Materials for the Mitigation of Climate Change
NIST will host a workshop “Integrating crystallographic and computational approaches to carbon-capture materials for the mitigation of climate change” at the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Rockville, Maryland, October 31 – November 1, 2023 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The continual rise in anthropogenic CO2 concentration and its effect on climate change call for the implementation of carbon capture technologies to reduce the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Porous solid sorbents, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are feasible candidates for gas capture and storage, but a significant bottleneck in developing advanced sorbents lies in determining their structures. The existing difficulties can be overcome by integrating crystallographic methods and theoretical modeling. This workshop will provide a forum for experimentalists and theorists from academia, government, and industry who are working on the structural aspects of CO2 capture and sequestration materials to review the current state of the art in this field and discuss opportunities for collaborative research required to develop tools for rapid determination of the structures of porous solid sorbents and the effect of structure on the carbon capture performance.
