“…Over the past three decades, the mean growth rate of CO 2 has been gradually increasing, underscoring the significance of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) as a pivotal approach to mitigate CO 2 emissions [9][10][11]. Among the CCUS components, carbon capture assumes primary importance as it accounts for over 70% of the overall CCUS cost [12]. Thus, it has become a focal point of extensive research efforts to enhance efficiency and reduce the cost of carbon capture.…”

In the last three decades, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have shown a significant increase from various sources. To address this pressing issue, the importance of reducing CO2 emissions has grown, leading to increased attention toward carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) strategies. Among these strategies, monodisperse microcapsules, produced using droplet microfluidics, have emerged as promising tools for carbon capture, offering a potential solution to mitigate CO2 emissions. However, the limited yield of microcapsules due to the inherent low flow rate in droplet microfluidics remains a challenge. In this comprehensive review, the high-throughput production of carbon capture microcapsules using droplet microfluidics is focused on. Specifically, the detailed insights into microfluidic chip fabrication technologies, the microfluidic generation of emulsion droplets, along with the associated hydrodynamic considerations, and the generation of carbon capture microcapsules through droplet microfluidics are provided. This review highlights the substantial potential of droplet microfluidics as a promising technique for large-scale carbon capture microcapsule production, which could play a significant role in achieving carbon neutralization and emission reduction goals.
