Methods, systems, and devices for an automotive vehicle air cleaning system are provided which may be configured to operate in at least an adsorption mode and an in-situ regeneration mode are disclosed. The system includes at least one type of sorbent material configured to remove CO2 from a cabin of an automotive vehicle according to a repeated adsorption-desorption swing cycle, a first inlet configured to supply a first airflow of air from the cabin to the system during an adsorption mode, and a first outlet configured to return the first airflow after passing over and/or through the sorbent material during the adsorption mode. The system includes a second inlet configured to supply a second airflow of outside air to the system during a regeneration mode, a second outlet to return the second airflow after passing over and/or through the sorbent material during the regeneration mode.

1. A automotive vehicle air cleaning system configured to operate in at least an adsorption mode and an in-situ regeneration mode, comprising: at least one type of sorbent material configured to remove CO2 from cabin air of an automotive vehicle according to a repeated adsorption-desorption swing cycle;a first inlet configured to supply a first airflow of air from the cabin to the system during an adsorption mode;a first outlet configured to return the first airflow after passing over and/or through the sorbent material during the adsorption mode;a second inlet configured to supply a second airflow of outside air to the system during a regeneration mode;a second outlet to exhaust the second airflow after passing over and/or through the sorbent material during the regeneration mode;at least one damper and/or at least one fan; andat least one controller configured to:control the first airflow, the second airflow, and cycling between the adsorption mode, the regeneration mode via the at least one damper and/or the at least one fan,determine a state of the vehicle including one or more of: whether a window of the vehicle is open or closed,whether a door of the vehicle is open or closed, andwhether a vent of the vehicle is open or closed; andcontrol a standby or shutoff mode based on the state of the vehicle via the at least one damper and/or the at least one fan. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the controller includes computer code operational thereon configured to control the first airflow, the second airflow, and cycling between the adsorption mode and the regeneration mode. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is configured to supply heat to the second airflow from at least one of an engine of the vehicle, mechanical systems of the engine, fluid systems of the engine, heat originating from the engine and heat of the mechanical systems or fluid systems attached to the engine. 4. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one cartridge or subassembly configured to contain the at least one type of sorbent material. 5. The system of claim 4, further comprising a housing configured to receive the at least one cartridge or subassembly, wherein the at least one cartridge or subassembly is further configured for removal from the housing. 6. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one CO2 sensor arranged within the vehicle and configured to generate a cabin CO2 signal corresponding to a concentration of CO2 in the cabin air. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to receive the cabin CO2 signal and control the operative mode of the system according to the concentration of CO2 in the cabin air. 8. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one second removal means configured to remove a second substance from the cabin air, wherein the second substance is one of volatile organic compounds, smoke, nitrous oxide, ozone, sulfur diode, carbon monoxide, molds, fungi, bacteria and viruses. 9. A method for cleaning cabin air of an automotive vehicle, comprising: receiving a first airflow of air from a cabin of an automotive vehicle;flowing the first airflow over and/or through at least one type of sorbent material configured to remove CO2 from the first airflow during an adsorption mode;returning the first airflow after having been flowed over and/or through the at least one sorbent material;receiving a second airflow of outside air from a second inlet;flowing the second airflow over and/or through the at least one type of sorbent material to regenerate the sorbent material during a regeneration mode;exhausting the second airflow from a second outlet after having flowed over and/or through the sorbent material during the regeneration mode;determining a state of the vehicle including one or more of: whether a window of the vehicle is open or closed,whether a door of the vehicle is open or closed, andwhether a vent of the vehicle is open or closed;controlling the first airflow, the second airflow, and cycling between the adsorption mode and the regeneration mode via at least one of at least one damper and/or at least one fan; andcontrolling a standby or shutoff mode via the at least one of at least one damper and/or at least one fan based on the state of the vehicle. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the method is implemented via at least one processor having computer code operational thereon configured to control the first airflow, the second airflow, and cycling between the adsorption mode and the regeneration mode. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein heat for heating the second airflow is supplied from at least one of an engine of the vehicle, mechanical systems of the engine, fluid systems of the engine, heat originating from the engine and heat of the mechanical systems or fluid systems attached to the engine. 12. The method of claim 9, further comprising containing the adsorbent material within at least one cartridge or subassembly. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising configuring the at least one cartridge or subassembly for removable replacement within a housing, the housing configured to receive the first and second airflows. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising determining a concentration of the CO2 in the cabin air via at least one CO2 sensor arranged within the vehicle. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising changing operative modes according to the concentration of CO2 in the cabin air. 16. The method of claim 9, further comprising flowing the first airflow over and/or through at least one second removal means configured to remove a second substance from the cabin air, wherein the second removal substance is one of a volatile organic compound, smoke, nitrous oxide, ozone, sulfur diode, carbon monoxide, molds, fungi, bacteria and viruses. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the second removal means is configured to generate at least one of radiation, ions, plasma, and a molecular species that reacts with and/or eradicates the second substance. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the second removal means includes a catalyst. 19. The method of claim 9, further comprising changing the operative mode based on the open and/or closed state.
