Editor’s summaryAdsorption of CO2 by aqueous amines for carbon capture applications usually requires cooling of effluent gases to near-ambient temperatures. Rohde et al. found that zinc hydride sites in a metal-organic framework enabled the rapid capture of CO2 from high-temperature power generation and industrial processes (see the Perspective by Li and Zhao). Adsorption of CO2 to form zinc formate occurs reversibly through insertion into terminal zinc hydride sites.
