First, an investigation of the co-adsorption of water and CO<sub>2</sub> onto a benchmark amine-functionalised adsorbent. Following on from this is a detailed process modelling and optimisation study of this sorbents performance in a direct air capture process. Next is a demonstration how the results are affected by the co-adsorption descriptions. Finally, a comparison between the modelled direct air capture process to existing and literature processes to benchmark the energy consumption of direct air capture.

<div><b>ABSTRACT</b> <br></div><div><br></div><div> Competition between atmospheric moisture and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for an adsorbent’s sites can significantly impact its VOC removal efficiency. The development of moisture-tolerant adsorbents is essential to address this issue. A vapor phase deposition process using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has created a hydrophobic form of the highly porous, normally hydrophilic, MOF MIL-101. After optimizing the PDMS vapor deposition time and molecular weights, hydrophobicity index calculations verified the improved hydrophobicity of the coated MOF (MIL-PDMS-Sigma-0.25) over its pristine form. The surface area, pore volume as well as single component vapor adsorption of water and toluene capacities were also preserved, resulting to similar performance to MIL-101. Toluene-water vapor co-adsorption experiments were conducted at 40% RH using two toluene concentrations: 0.5% P/P<sub>0</sub> and 10% P/P<sub>0</sub>, mimicking environmental VOC and industrial concentrations, respectively. At 0.5% P/P<sub>0</sub>, MIL-PDMS-Sigma-0.25 exhibited 60% higher adsorption capacity and twice the rate of toluene capture relative to pristine MIL-101, as well as a 3-fold higher toluene uptake relative to a commercial activated carbon. Preliminary adsorbent regeneration experiments confirm the stability and performance of MIL-PDMS-Sigma-0.25. Using a simple vapor phase modification, this new MOF-composite material offers superior competitive toluene vapor uptake in humidified real-world conditions at VOC concentrations. </div>

Quartz crystal microbalance and Kelvin probe were used to investigate the interaction between propylamine (PrNH2) vapour and polypyrrole (PPy) films. The films were prepared by oxidative electropolymerization of pyrrole on a platinum electrode in acetonitrile solution. The nature of interaction is strongly influenced by the oxidation state of the film and co-adsorption of water. On the surface of the oxidized PPy, water adsorbs to form a multilayer. The work function increase of the Pt/PPy electrode exposed to both water and PrNH2 vapoures was attributed to the PrNH2 dissolution and dissociation within the water layer followed by the formatted PrNH3+ cation adsorption on the liquid surface with the alkyl group facing the gas phase. On the contrary, the water adsorption on the reduced PPy is rather weak and the work function decrease observed at the PrNH2 exposure might be connected with the neutral molecules adsorption directly on the polymer surface. The water co-adsorption is documented by a drop in the adsorption of PrNH2 upon lowering the water vapour pressure in the gas phase.

Chemical doping and other surface modifications have been used to engineer the bulk properties of materials, but their influence on the surface structure and consequently the surface chemistry are often unknown. Previous work has been successful in fluorinating anatase TiO<sub>2</sub> with charge balance achieved via the introduction of Ti vacancies rather than the reduction of Ti. Our work here investigates the interface between this fluorinated titanate with cationic vacancies and a<br>monolayer of water via density functional theory based molecular dynamics. We compute the projected density of states for only those atoms at the interface and for those states that fall within 1eV of the Fermi energy for various steps throughout the simulation, and we determine that the<br>variation in this representation of the density of states serves as a reasonable tool to anticipate where surfaces are most likely to be reactive. In particular, we conclude that water dissociation at the surface is the main mechanism that influences the anatase (001) surface whereas the change in<br>the density of states at the surface of the fluorinated structure is influenced primarily through the adsorption of water molecules at the surface.
