  • This study presents an approach to reducing the regeneration energy of aqueous carbonate carbon capture sorbents that utilizes tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane as a thermally responsive pH regulator. A continuous-flow system shows the efficient concentration of diluted CO2 streams to high-purity products under sunlight with high stability and promising economic viability.

  • An analysis of 24,202 critical cases of COVID-19 identifies potentially druggable targets in inflammatory signalling (JAK1), monocyte–macrophage activation and endothelial permeability (PDE4A), immunometabolism (SLC2A5 and AK5), and host factors required for viral entry and replication (TMPRSS2 and RAB2A).

  • Redox-active organic compounds that reversibly bind and release CO2 are promising candidates for carbon capture but are limited by the use of flammable, toxic aprotic electrolytes. Here the authors use salt-concentrated aqueous electrolytes in continuous CO2 separation with good performance metrics.

  • Crystallization of a liquid usually starts at a solid surface — for instance, that of impurities or of a container's walls — and surface roughness is known to enhance crystal nucleation rates. It is now shown with polymer films patterned with spherical nanopores 15–120 nm in size that the shape of the pores can either enhance or hinder crystal nucleation.

  • Chromium and arsenic are prevalent water pollutants, but their removal is currently limited by low selectivity. Here, the authors use redox-active metallopolymer electrodes based on poly(vinyl)ferrocene to selectively remove the two heavy metal oxyanions at concentrations as low as 100 ppb.

  • Electrochemical approaches to carbon capture have the advantages of operation under ambient conditions and modular design, but improved sorbent molecules are still needed. Here the authors present a library of redox-tunable Lewis bases, shedding light on molecular design guidelines to tune sorbent properties.

  • This Perspective discusses electrochemically mediated carbon dioxide capture systems, which can offer lower energetics than standard thermal methods, with modular scalability. New integrated configurations can further reduce costs and improve unit productivity, while further engineering of existing cell designs will enable more rapid implementation.
