Effect of Varying Amine Functionalities on CO<sub>2</sub> Capture of Carboxylated Graphene Oxide-Based Cryogels
Graphene cryogels synthesis is reported by amine modification of carboxylated graphene oxide via aqueous carbodiimide chemistry. The effect of the amine type on the formation of the cryogels and their properties is presented. In this respect, ethylenediamine (EDA), diethylenetriamine (DETA), triethy...

Graphene cryogels synthesis is reported by amine modification of carboxylated graphene oxide via aqueous carbodiimide chemistry. The effect of the amine type on the formation of the cryogels and their properties is presented. In this respect, ethylenediamine (EDA), diethylenetriamine (DETA), triethylenetetramine (TETA), were selected. The obtained cryogels were characterized by Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray spectroscopy, and Scanning electron microscopy. The CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption performance was evaluated as a function of amine modification. The results showed the best CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption performance was exhibited by ethylenediamine modified aerogel, reaching 2 mmol g<sup>−1</sup> at 1 bar and 298 K.
