Motivated by the air pollution that skyrocketed in numerous regions around the world, great effort was placed on discovering new classes of materials that separate, sense or convert CO2 in order to minimise impact on human health. However, separation, sensing and conversion are not only closely intertwined due to the ultimate goal of improving human well-being, but also because of similarities in material prerequisites -e.g. affinity to CO2. Partly inspired by the unrivalled performance of complex natural materials, manifold inorganic-organic hybrids were developed. One of the most important characteristics of hybrids is their design flexibility, which results from the combination of individual constituents with specific functionality. In this review, we discuss commonly used organic, inorganic, and inherently hybrid building blocks for applications in separation, sensing and catalytic conversion and highlight benefits like durability, activity, low-cost and large scale fabrication. Moreover, we address obstacles and potential future developments of hybrid materials. This review should inspire young researchers in chemistry, physics and engineering to identify and overcome interdisciplinary research challenges by performing academic research but also - based on the ever-stricter emission regulations like carbon taxes - through exchanges between industry and science.

用于CO2感测，分离和转化的有机-无机杂化体。

受全球众多地区不断飙升的空气污染的影响，人们致力于发现可分离，感知或转化CO2的新型材料，以最大程度地减少对人类健康的影响。但是，分离，感测和转换不仅紧密联系在一起，这是因为要改善人类福祉的最终目标，而且还因为物质先决条件（例如对二氧化碳的亲和力）的相似性。在某种程度上受到复杂天然材料无与伦比性能的启发，开发了多种无机-有机杂化材料。混合动力车最重要的特征之一是其设计灵活性，这是将各个组成部分与特定功能结合在一起的结果。在这篇评论中，我们讨论了常用的有机，无机，以及固有的混合结构模块，可用于分离，传感和催化转化，并突出了诸如耐用性，活性，低成本和大规模制造等优点。此外，我们解决了混合材料的障碍和潜在的未来发展。这次审查应激发化学，物理和工程学领域的年轻研究人员通过开展学术研究来发现并克服跨学科研究的挑战，而且还应基于工业和科学之间的交流-基于日益严格的排放法规（例如碳税）-来进行研究。
