This seems like the actual work of the article: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.5c13908
And the superbase is 1,5,7-triazabicyclo [4.3.0] non-6-ene
It is an anime based technology. Other amines in water-based solutions also get regenerated at about <200C. It is great to find new molecules to do this work but as I usual, these marketing articles sensationalize the actual work.
I would’ve expected the research to be coming out of Japan if it’s an anime based technology ;)
