Direct air capture (DAC) of CO₂ has emerged as the most promising “negative carbon emission” technologies. Despite being state-of-the-art, sorbents deploying alkali hydroxides/amine solutions or amine-modified materials still suffer from unsolved high energy consumption and stability issues. Here, in this work, composite sorbents are crafted by hybridizing a robust metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) with superbase-derived ionic liquid (SIL), possessing well maintained crystallinity and chemical structures. The low-pressure (0.4 mbar) volumetric CO₂ capture assessment and a fixed-bed breakthrough examination with 400 ppm CO₂ gas flow reveal high-performance DAC of CO₂ (CO₂ uptake capacity of up to 0.58 mmol g^-1 at 298 K) and exceptional cycling stability. Operando spectroscopy analysis reveals the rapid (400 ppm) CO₂ capture kinetics and energy-efficient/fast CO₂ releasing behaviors. The theoretical calculation and small-angle X-ray scattering demonstrate that the confinement effect of the MOF cavity enhances the interaction strength of reactive sites in SIL with CO₂, indicating great efficacy of the hybridization. The achievements in this study showcase the exceptional capabilities of SIL-derived sorbents in carbon capture from ambient air in terms of rapid carbon capture kinetics, facile CO₂ releasing, and good cycling performance.
