Combined aperture widening and strong polarization in Li+-exchanged mordenite for efficient direct air capture of CO2

Key Points

• Direct air capture efficiency is enhanced through combined aperture widening and strong polarization.
• The Li+-exchanged mordenite demonstrates superior CO2 adsorption properties compared to unmodified variants.
• The approach utilizes advanced materials to facilitate greater gas absorption within natural zeolites.
• The findings highlight the potential for sustainable CO2 removal strategies, promoting environmental conservation.
