Computational Analysis of Nanoporous Gas Adsorption for Mobile Carbon Capture
The objective of this research is to discover advanced porous materials for use in Mobile Carbon Capture(MCC), or the process of capturing CO2 from car exhaust to reduce vehicle emissions. This research will be exploring various computational methods for the characterization of nanoporous gas storage materials, such as Zeolites, MOFs(Metal Organic Frameworks), and COFs(Covalent Organic Frameworks). This project focuses on Zeolites due to their well-known properties and transferable force field parameters. After comparing to real world values, future research will use these computational methods to find advanced materials capable of making Mobile Carbon Capture economical.
