Potassium‐promoted hydrotalcite‐like material was prepared with potassium nitrate as the K precursor. The highest ever reported CO2 adsorption capacity (1.13 mol kg–1) was obtained at 656 K with p CO 2 = 0.5 bar at humid conditions. A mathematical model was developed and it satisfactorily simulated the adsorption and desorption processes. The stability of the material was tested with repeated adsorption/desorption cycles; the CO2 adsorption capacity decreased around 7 % after ten cycles. In addition, regeneration was performed with temperature swing operation (from 656 K to 708 K), where a complete regeneration was achieved within 60 min, which reduced to half the time required for regeneration under isothermal conditions.
