Abstract
A composite material for gas capture, notably CO2 capture and storage. The composite material includes a mixture of a solid or liquid reactive filler and a gas-permeable polymer such that the reactive filler forms micron-scale domains in the polymer matrix.
Claims9
A method of making a reactor for removing carbon dioxide from a gas containing the carbon dioxide, comprising the steps of:
- providing a sorbent material;
- providing a gas-permeable polymer;
- combining said sorbent material and said gas-permeable polymer to produce a 3-D ink;
- using a 3-D print head of a 3-D printer to extrude said 3-D ink onto a surface;
- controlling said 3-D print head to extrude said 3-D ink onto said surface to form a green form of the reactor;
- and
- curing said green form of the reactor to produce the reactor.
