Professor Jeffrey R. Long and coworkers have evaluated a series of zeolites for their carbon capture properties using a new high-throughput gas adsorption instrument which can simultaneously measure 28 samples.

They identified one zeolite in particular which had superior CO₂ adsorption properties and CO₂/N₂ selectivity compared to Mg₂(dobdc) ((dobdc^4- = 1,4-dioxido-2,5-benzenedicarboxylate) – one of the best currently available adsorbent materials.
