Capture materials and separations

Sorbents, Membranes, and Carbon Capture

MatterLens is built to evaluate capture and separation materials across chemistry, morphology, transport, adsorption, durability, regeneration energy, contaminants, and process economics. It helps teams compare MOFs, amines, porous carbons, polymers, mixed-matrix membranes, and hybrid systems against the operating reality of carbon capture and industrial separations.

Rank sorbent and membrane concepts against selectivity, capacity, kinetics, stability, and regeneration constraints.
Connect material properties with process assumptions for direct air capture, point-source capture, and separations.
Identify characterization and cycling tests that reduce the biggest uncertainties first.
Problem context

Why this problem matters

Property tradeoffs

High capacity is not enough when selectivity, kinetics, water tolerance, heat management, pressure drop, and cycling stability determine system value.

Process coupling

Capture materials have to be evaluated inside realistic regeneration, contactor, contaminant, and energy assumptions.

Validation burden

Accelerated cycling, breakthrough, permeability, morphology, and impurity studies are needed before materials claims become deployment-relevant.
