title: Enhancing CO2Capture using Robust Superomniphobic Membranes.
abstract: Superomniphobic membranes for post-combustion CO2capture are introduced. Concentrated aqueous amine solutions stay on the topmost part of the membranes, providing a large liquid/CO2interface. Wetting of the membrane, which reduces the capture efficiency, is prevented. The CO2capture rates using the chemically, mechanically, and thermally stable superomniphobic membranes are enhanced by up to 40% relative to commercial membranes.
