Paper for plant based CO2 environmental filter and sensor

This paper will present the results on the development of a plant based CO2 environmental filter and sensorFirst we will functionalize the plant for CO2 uptake The polyaminebased smart material that will be developed in WP1 will be infiltrated in the leaves of plants infiltration will be developed in WP2 and will be used for capturing the CO2 of the atmosphere Initial characterizations via imaging techniques optical and electron microscopy as well as spectroscopic characterizations FTIR UVvis will be performed to confirm the successful infiltration and spatial distribution of the polymers in the leaves The plant capability of capturing CO2 will be evaluated in controlled atmosphere The capture of CO2 by the infiltrated polymers will be monitored via IR spectroscopy An infrared analysis gas cell will be used exsitu to corroborate and calibrate if necessary the invivo CO2 absorption measurements LiU SLU Bordeaux INP
