The mitigation of climate change requires the reduction of atmospheric CO₂ levels, which can be achieved through efficient carbon capture and separation technologies. Among various approaches, the use of porous solid sorbents represents a promising route due to their tunable structures, selectivity, and potential for low-energy regeneration.

The aim of the research is to investigate the CO₂ sorption and desorption mechanisms in functional porous materials such as metal–organic frameworks, zeolites, and covalent networks. Experimental studies combining gas adsorption measurements with in situ infrared spectroscopic techniques will be employed to identify adsorption sites, characterize molecule–surface interactions, and explore the dynamics of the sorption process.

The experimental observations will be complemented by structural and thermodynamic modelling to achieve a deeper molecular-level understanding of CO₂ capture phenomena and to support the design of efficient, regenerable sorbent materials. The project will adopt an interdisciplinary approach, integrating materials science, physical chemistry, and vibrational spectro
