Sustainable CO2 capture via adsorption by chitosan-based functional biomaterial : A review on recent advances, challenges, and future directions

Chitin is a naturally occurring biopolymer, while chitosan is a deacetylated derivative of chitin. The unique properties of chitin/chitosan, such as nitrogen-rich, biodegradability, non-toxicity, high adsorption capacity, and biocompatibility, allow them to be utilized as precursors for CO2 adsorben...
