Li₂CuO₂ and different iron-containing Li₂CuO₂ samples were synthesized by solid state reaction. On iron-containing samples, atomic sites of copper are substituted by iron ions in the lattice (XRD and Rietveld analyses). Iron addition induces copper release from Li₂CuO₂, which produce cationic vacancies and CuO, due to copper (Cu²⁺) and iron (Fe³⁺) valence differences. Two different physicochemical conditions were used for analyzing CO₂ capture on these samples; (i) high temperature and (ii) low temperature in presence of water vapor. At high temperatures, iron addition increased CO₂ chemisorption, due to structural and chemical variations on Li₂CuO₂. Kinetic analysis performed by first order reaction and Eyring models evidenced that iron addition on Li₂CuO₂ induced a faster CO₂ chemisorption but a higher thermal dependence. Conversely, CO₂ chemisorption at low temperature in water vapor presence practically did not vary by iron addition, although hydration and hydroxylation processes were enhanced. Moreover, under these physicochemical conditions the whole sorption process became slower on iron-containing samples, due to metal oxides presence.
