本研究以活性碳纖維布 (Activated Carbon Fiber Cloth, ACFC)為吸附材，電力擺盪吸附法 (Electric Swing Adsorption, ESA)為再生技術，探討不同操作變數，如吸附溫度、再生電流 (電壓)、再生溫度及再生時間，對CO2吸附能力之影響；此外亦藉由 (1) 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS)密閉迴流加熱法、 (2)高溫氨氣煅燒、(3) 胺類含浸改質及 (4)胺類嫁接改質等方法，將胺類官能基嫁接於ACFC上，期藉以提升ACFC對CO2之吸附量。
實驗結果顯示，在吸附溫度35 oC以及再生溫度120 oC下，ACFC有較佳之CO2吸附能力，吸附量為13.8 mg/g；當再生溫度為120 oC時，以電流為1.53 A、電壓為5 V之條件下，再生所需能量為最低；當再生時間超過30 min以上，ACFC之吸附能力並無明顯提升，代表30 min之再生時間可將ACFC上之CO2幾乎完全脫附。
將胺類官能基嫁接於ACFC之研究結果顯示：經APTS迴流嫁接改質後的ACFC，其對CO2之吸附量減少98%，可能改質後ACFC之孔洞會被阻塞導致CO2分子無法有效進入ACFC孔洞中，造成吸附量比未改質之ACFC還要低。
ACFC經過400 oC氨氣煅燒後，在吸附溫度為35 oC下，對CO2之吸附能力相較於未改質之ACFC增加19%的吸附量；ACFC經過20 wt% MEA含浸後，在吸附溫度為45 oC下，有最大之吸附量，相較於未改質之ACFC增加28%的吸附量；再者，將MEA濃度提高，ACFC經過100 wt% MEA含浸後，在吸附溫度為45 oC下，對CO2之吸附能力相較於未改質之ACFC增加70%的吸附量。
