Hydrogel films composed of temperature‐responsive microgel particles (GPs) containing amine groups work as stimuli‐responsive carbon dioxide absorbent, as reported by Y. Hoshino and co‐workers in their Communication on page 2654 ff. The reversible CO 2 absorption capacity of the GP films is proportional to the film thickness and is larger than that of a monolithic gel film. This discovery shows that the GP films can be used to sequester energy‐efficiently CO 2 from high‐humidity exhaust gases.
