In the last few years there has been a rapid growth in governmental funding and research activities worldwide for CO2 capture, storage utilization (CSU), due to increasing awareness of link between accumulation atmosphere global warming. Among various technologies processes that have developed are emerging CSU CO2, solid CO2-adsorbents widely applied. this review, these classified into three types according their sorption/desorption temperatures: low-, intermediate- high-temperature adsorbents with temperatures ranging from below 200 °C, 200–400 °C above 400 respectively. For each type CO2-adsorbent, synthesis, interaction mechanism sorption performance, potential applications problems reviewed. section, several representative CO2-sorption-enhanced catalytic reactions discussed. It is expected review will not only summarize main area, but also find possible links fundamental studies industrial applications.
