Abstract
Rigid H-shaped pentiptycene units, with an intrinsic hierarchical structure, were employed to fabricate a highly microporous organic polymer sorbent via Friedel-Crafts reaction/polymerization. The obtained microporous polymer exhibits good thermal stability, a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 1604 m2 g-1, outstanding CO2, H2, and CH4 storage capacities, as well as good adsorption selectivities for the separation of CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 gas pairs. The CO2 uptake values reached as high as 5.00 mmol g-1 (1.0 bar and 273 K), which, along with high adsorption selectivity values (e.g., 47.1 for CO2/N2), make the pentiptycene-based microporous organic polymer (PMOP) a promising sorbent material for carbon capture from flue gas and natural gas purification. Moreover, the PMOP material displayed superior absorption capacities for organic solvents and dyes. For example, the maximum adsorption capacities for methylene blue and Congo red were 394 and 932 mg g-1, respectively, promoting the potential of the PMOP as an excellent sorbent for environmental remediation and water treatment.
