Notes & Highlights:

• FCTF-1 has one of the highest physisorptive (Q⁰_{st, FCTF-1} = 35 kj/mol) CO₂ capacities ever recorded: 5.53 mmol/g at 273 K and 1 bar (1.76 at 0.1)
• CO₂/N₂ selectivity increased when mixed gas measured compared to pure gas calculations. This verifies a 2011 observation by Guiver et al.
• Moisture (0.03 bar, % 100 RH) lowered CO₂ uptake 12 % at 298 K.
