Cost‐effective processes for CO 2 capture from flue gas streams of coal or gas‐fired power plants are needed to enable post‐combustion CO 2 capture to slow global climate change. Ying Labreche, Yanfang Fan, Ryan. P. Lively, Christopher W. Jones, and William J. Koros create post‐spinning amine‐infused polymer/mesoporous silica hollow fiber sorbents for CO 2 capture from dilute gas streams post combustion. The direct dual layer spinning of Torlon®/mesoporous silica hollow fibers with a neat Torlon® lumen layer provides a simplified, scalable platform for sorbent synthesis. The cover shows the hollow fiber morphology is highly porous, homogeneous, and has well‐dispersed silica particles. (DOI: 10.1002/app.41845 )
