Abstract
A good material for CO2 capture should possess some specific properties: (i) a large effective surface area

with good adsorption capacity, (ii) selectivity for CO2, (iii) regeneration capacity with minimum energy

input, allowing reutilization of the material for CO2 adsorption, and (iv) low cost and high environmental

friendliness. Smectite clays are layered nanoporous materials that may be good candidates in this context.

Here we report experiments which show that gaseous CO2 intercalates into the interlayer nano-space of

smectite clay (synthetic fluorohectorite) at conditions close to ambient. The rate of intercalation, as well as

the retention ability of CO2 was found to be strongly... (More)
A good material for CO2 capture should possess some specific properties: (i) a large effective surface area

Here we report experiments which show that gaseous CO2 intercalates into the interlayer nano-space of

smectite clay (synthetic fluorohectorite) at conditions close to ambient. The rate of intercalation, as well as

the retention ability of CO2 was found to be strongly dependent on the type of the interlayer cation, which

in the present case is Li1, Na1 or Ni21. Interestingly, we observe that the smectite Li-fluorohectorite is

able to retain CO2 up to a temperature of 356C at ambient pressure, and that the captured CO2 can be

released by heating above this temperature. Our estimates indicate that smectite clays, even with the

standard cations analyzed here, can capture an amount of CO2 comparable to other materials studied in this

context. (Less)
