The United Nations (UN) recent report has warned about the excessive CO2 emissions and the necessity of making efforts to keep the increase in temperature below 2 ○C. Current CO2 capture technologies are inadequate in contributing towards reaching that goal, and effective mitigation strategies must be pursued. In this work, we summarized trends in materials development for CO2 adsorption with focus on recent studies. We put adsorbent materials into four main groups of (I) carbon-based materials, (II) silica/alumina/zeolites, (III) porous crystalline solids, and (IV) metal oxides. Trends in computational investigations along with experimental findings are covered to find inform finding of promising candidates in light of practical challenges imposed by process economics.
