1. An apparatus for capture of CO2 from ambient air, the apparatus comprising:
- a) an air capture device comprising a corrugated anion exchange material that captures CO2 from ambient air upon exposure to the ambient air;
b) a release mechanism for releasing the captured CO2 and regenerating the corrugated anion exchange material; and
c) a concentrator that concentrates the acidic gas released from said corrugated anion exchange material.
