Formulation of Aminosilica Adsorbents into 3D-Printed Monoliths and Evaluation of Their CO Capture Performance.

Amine-based materials have represented themselves as a promising class of CO adsorbents; however, their large-scale implementation requires their formulation into suitable structures. In this study, we report formulation of aminosilica adsorbents into monolithic structures through a three-dimensional (3D) printing technique. In particular, 3D-printed monoliths were fabricated using presynthesized silica-supported tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) adsorbents using three different approaches.
