A new triazine functionalized hexagonally ordered covalent organic polymer (TRITER-1) has been synthesized via the Schiff-base condensation reaction between a tailor made triamine 1,3,5-tris-(4-aminophenyl)triazine (TAPT) and terephthaldehyde. This ordered porous polymer showed a high BET surface area (716 m(2) g(-1)) and an excellent CO2 uptake capacity of 58.9 wt% at 273 K under 5 bar pressure.

Catalytic reduction of CO₂ is very challenging from both economics and green chemistry perspectives. This critical review highlights major advancements made in the CO₂ reduction processes and their future challenges.

The new covalent organic framework material TDFP-1 was prepared through a solvothermal Schiff base condensation reaction of the monomers 1,3,5-tris-(4-aminophenyl)triazine and 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol. Owing to its high specific surface area of 651 m g , extended π conjugation, and inherent microporosity, TDFP-1 exhibited an excellent energy-storage capacity with a maximum specific capacitance of 354 F g at a scan rate of 2 mV s and good cyclic stability with 95 % retention of its initial specific capacitance after 1000 cycles at 10 A g . The π-conjugated polymeric framework as well as ionic conductivity owing to the possibility of ion conduction inside the micropores of approximately 1.5 nm make polymeric TDFP-1 a favorable candidate as a supercapacitor electrode material. The electrochemical properties of this electrode material were measured through cyclic voltammetry, galvanic charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the results indicate its potential for application in energy-storage devices.
