Patel, Hasmukh A.; et al. (2012): Highly Stable Nanoporous Sulfur-Bridged Covalent Organic Polymers for Carbon Dioxide Removal

Patel, Hasmukh A.; Karadas, Ferdi; Byun, Jeehye; Park, Joonho; Deniz, Erhan; Canlier, Ali et al. (2012): Highly Stable Nanoporous Sulfur-Bridged Covalent Organic Polymers for Carbon Dioxide Removal. In: Adv. Funct. Mater. DOI 10.1002/adfm.201202442

„Carbon dioxide capture and separation requires robust solids that can stand harsh environments where a hot mixture of gases is often found. Herein, the first and comprehensive syntheses of porous sulfur-bridged covalent organic polymers (COPs) and their application for carbon dioxide capture in warm conditions and a wide range of pressures (0–200 bar) are reported.“

the Yale forum: The Ethics of Geoengineering

„Options for engineering the climate system, some long-dismissed by many as a vestige of Buck Rogers, are getting additional attention as near-term prospects for an effective political remedy remain bleak. But with research into the subject come increasing numbers of ethical questions yet to be resolved.“
