Functionalized adsorbent materials: a click chemistry-based solution for water purification and biofuel production

Abstract

Increasing urbanization and industrial development have intensified the water and energy crisis in Mexico. Water pollution and increasing energy demand have highlighted the need for innovative and sustainable solutions. By enabling the precise modification of adsorbents, click reactions facilitate the generation of highly selective materials. The combination of click chemistry with technologies such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) offer a promising avenue to effectively address water pollution, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote a circular economy.
