ABSTRACT
Investigating CO2 sequestration in cement-based materials is significant for achieving carbon neutrality in the cement and concrete industries. The early CO2 sequestration pathways on cement-based materials are fundamental for CO2 sequestration, which is not clear. Towards this, the adsorption behavior of CO2 on ß-C2S(100) and M3-C3S(001) was investigated at the atomic level using density functional theory calculations, which were then compared with water adsorption results. The molecular adsorption configurations of CO2 on both ß-C2S(100) and M3-C3S(001) were tilted from their initial configurations due to the influence of surface Ca and O atoms. The CO2 adsorption energy on M3-C3S(001) and ß-C2S(100) were -0.458 eV and -0.426 eV, respectively, indicating adsorption on M3-C3S(001) was more energetically favorable. After CO2 adsorption, electrons were transferred from the surface to the CO2 molecule. Furthermore, the Ca-O bond orders of ß-C2S(100) and M3-C3S(001) after CO2 adsorption were maximally decreased by 2.79% and 6.99%, respectively. A more significant adsorption influence on surfaces was found for H2O, with more negative adsorption energy, more evident electron transfer, and a greater decrease in bond order. The CO2 adsorption on ß-C2S(100) and M3-C3S(001) were still spontaneous at 298 K and 1 atm. This study provides important theoretical insights into early CO2 sequestration at the atomic level, which has practical implications for the design of efficient CO2 sequestration technologies.
