With increasing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from the combustion of fossil‐based fuels, the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere is growing at 407.54[1][, ] parts per million, as released in May 2016. Accordingly, the reduction of CO 2 emissions is an essential issue for global climate changes. Tremendous efforts have been directed towards the goal of CO 2 separation and capture. These have led to the development of novel classes of porous materials that possess unique potential applications in the capture and sequestration of CO 2 . Hence, this comprehensive review focuses on studying and analyzing newly developed methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to sequester CO 2 released from anthropogenic activities. It compares and analyzes, in terms of storage capacity and adsorption selectivity, the innovative technologies that capture CO 2 . Also described are the key advancements in CO 2 capture from chemical absorption post‐ and precombustion industrial units and its subsequent physical adsorption by using various zeolites and metal–organic framework (MOF) materials for CO 2 adsorption, storage, and separation. Current progress in MOF materials for CO 2 capture is considered, and the potentials and limitations of new discoveries in the area are addressed, as it is a rapidly growing area. Furthermore, trends in the design of various kinds of porous structures with tailored macro‐ and microstructures and target surface properties are examined.
