The present invention is based on the use of surface adsorption to capture CO.sub.2 molecules from air, without requiring the need for bulk absorption within the bulk of the sorbent. Since surface adsorption is a much faster process than bulk absorption, the present invention offers a greatly increased CO.sub.2 capture rate, as well as a greatly improved energy efficiency, over conventional systems. The invention involves the use of a molecular monolayer of CO.sub.2 sorbent, a process and a system for capturing CO.sub.2 from air employing such a molecular monolayer of CO.sub.2 sorbent.
