ABSTRACT
Unlocking CO2 capture potential remains a complex and challenging endeavor. Here, a blueprint is crafted for optimizing materials through CO2 capture and developing a synergistic hybridization strategy that involves synthesizing CO2-responsive hydrogels by integrating polymeric networks interpenetrated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) chains and inorganic CaCl2. Diverging from conventional CO2 absorbents, which typically serve a singular function in CO2 capture, these hybrid PEAC hydrogels additionally harness its presence to tune their optical and mechanical properties once interacting with CO2. Such synergistic functions entail two significant

steps:

(i) rapid CO2-fixing through PEI chains to generate abundant carbamic acid and carbamate species and (ii) mineralization via CaCl2 to induce the formation of CaCO3 micro-crystals within the hydrogel matrix. Due to the reversible bonding, the PEAC hydrogels enable the decoupling of CO2 through an acid fumigation treatment or a heating process, achieving dynamic CO2 capture-release cycles up to 8 times. Furthermore, the polyethyleneimine-acrylamide-calcium chloride (PEAC) hydrogel exhibits varying antibacterial attributes and high interfacial adhesive strength, which can be modulated by fine-tuning the compositions of PEI and CaCl2. This versatility underscores the promising potential of PEAC hydrogels, which not only unlocks CO2 capture capabilities but also offers opportunities in diverse biological and biomedical applications.
