The Calvin Benson Cycle

The Calvin Benson Cycle

Ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) is a critical enzyme that catalyzes carbon dioxide assimilation during photosynthesis. However, it is an inefficient enzyme, having an extremely slow catalytic rate. A typical enzyme can process about a thousand molecules per second; however, RuBisCo fixes only around three-carbon dioxides per second. Photosynthetic cells compensate for this slow rate by synthesizing very high amounts of RuBisCo, making it the most abundant single...

Carbon-dioxide Fixation

Carbon-dioxide Fixation

Carbon dioxide fixation in prokaryotes enables the assimilation of inorganic carbon into organic molecules, supporting biosynthetic pathways, sustaining ecosystems, and contributing to the global carbon cycle. It also has industrial applications in carbon capture and bioproduct synthesis. Autotrophic organisms rely on this process to utilize CO₂ as a carbon source in diverse environments.The Calvin CycleThe Calvin cycle is the most widespread carbon fixation mechanism, primarily used by...

Background:

Pyrazine-linked hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs) are effective for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture under dry conditions.
Material affinity for water (H2O) hinders CO2 capture performance in humid environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the co-adsorption of H2O and CO2 in TIFSIX-3-Ni, a high CO2 affinity HUM.
To understand how H2O sorption kinetics influence CO2 capture efficiency in TIFSIX-3-Ni.

Main Methods:

In situ infrared spectroscopy to study molecular interactions.
Ab initio calculations to elucidate binding sites and sorption mechanisms.
Co-adsorption experiments with varying H2O and CO2 loadings.

Main Results:

Slow H2O sorption kinetics enable CO2 uptake and release with shortened adsorption cycles.
Approximately 90% of dry CO2 uptake is retained under humid conditions.
CO2 and H2O molecules co-occupy ultramicropores at low water loading due to favorable interactions.
An energetically favored water network displaces CO2 at higher H2O loading.

Conclusions:

Slow H2O sorption kinetics can be leveraged to improve CO2 capture in HUMs under humid conditions.
Understanding CO2-H2O co-adsorption mechanisms provides design principles for next-generation carbon capture sorbents.
This research addresses the critical challenge of humidity in gas capture technologies.
