Abstract	Industrial decarbonisation requires technological solutions capable of reducing carbon dioxide emissions from sectors where direct electrification and renewable energy substitution alone may be insufficient. Advanced carbon capture materials have emerged as a critical component of this transition because they can selectively capture carbon dioxide from industrial gas streams while potentially reducing the energy and environmental penalties associated with conventional capture technologies. This paper examines emerging materials and innovation pathways for industrial carbon capture, focusing on solid sorbents, metal–organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, porous polymers, advanced activated carbons, zeolites, amine-functionalised materials, membranes and hybrid capture systems. The paper evaluates how material properties—including adsorption capacity, selectivity, regeneration energy, chemical stability, moisture tolerance, thermal stability, mechanical durability and scalability—determine practical performance. Particular attention is given to the integration of computational materials discovery, artificial intelligence, molecular engineering and process optimisation to accelerate the development of next-generation capture materials. Applications across cement, steel, chemicals, refining, natural-gas processing and other hard-to-abate industries are considered. A multi-stage innovation framework is proposed linking material discovery, computational screening, laboratory validation, process integration, pilot-scale demonstration and lifecycle assessment. The paper argues that future progress will depend not simply on maximising laboratory adsorption capacity, but on designing materials for realistic industrial conditions, long-term durability, low regeneration energy, manufacturability and complete lifecycle sustainability. Advanced carbon capture materials therefore represent an interdisciplinary innovation opportunity connecting materials science, chemical engineering, artificial intelligence, industrial systems and climate technology.
