Among the methods for point source carbon capture, the absorption of CO2 using aqueous amines (namely MEA) from the post-combustion gas stream is currently considered the most promising.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide is captured with an aqueous solution containing a guanidine photobase and a small peptide, using a UV-light stimulus, and subsequently released when the light stimulus is removed.
Regeneration of solvents used for carbon dioxide capture requires high temperature and high energy, which is a roadblock to commercialization and large-scale deployment of absorptive carbon capture plants.

A novel molecular sorbent system for low energy CO2 regeneration is developed by employing CO2-responsive molecules and salt in aqueous media where a precipitating CO2--salt fractal network is formed, resulting in solid-phase formation and sedimentation.
