  The extra CO2 that has already been released into the atmosphere has to be
removed in order to create a world that is carbon neutral. Technologies have
been created to remove carbon dioxide from wet flue gas or even directly from
ambient air, however these technologies are not widely deployed yet. New
generations of creative CO2 capture sorbents have been produced as a
consequence of recent improvements in material assembly and surface chemistry.
We summarize recent progress on water-stable and encapsulated metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs) for CO2 capture under a wide range of environmental and
operating conditions. In particular, newly developed water-stable MOFs and
hydrophobic coating technologies are discussed with insights into their
materials discovery and the synergistic effects between different components of
these hybrid sorbent systems. The future perspectives and directions of
water-stable and encapsulated MOFs are also given for Direct Air Capture of CO2
and CO2 capture from wet flue gas.
