Microfluidic deprotonation approach is proposed to realize continuous, scalable, efficient, and uniform production of aramid nanofibers (ANFs) by virtue of large specific surface area, high mixing efficiency, strong heat transfer capacity, narrow residence time distribution, mild laminar-flow process, and amplification-free effect of the microchannel reactor. By means of monitoring capabilities endowed by the high transparency of the microchannel, the kinetic exfoliation process of original aramid particles is in situ observed and the corresponding exfoliation mechanism is established quantificationally. The deprotonated time can be reduced from the traditional several days to 7 min for the final colloidal dispersion due to the synergistic effect between enhanced local shearing/mixing and the rotational motion of aramid particles in microchannel revealed by numerical simulations.

- The development of effective carbon dioxide (CO) capture materials is challenging, particularly when addressing the need for high sorption capacity and rapid gas uptake.
- A new method using liquid-in-aerogel porous composites (LIAPCs) is introduced, which incorporates tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) into aerogel to enhance CO capture and separate CO from nitrogen (N).
- LIAPCs demonstrate impressive CO uptake, fast adsorption kinetics, and excellent selectivity, achieving a high separation factor even under humid conditions, thereby paving the way for advanced CO capture technologies.
