“…Despite having a very low BET surface area and nonporous characteristics, our nitrogen-functionalized HCPs in this study exhibited very good performances toward iodine adsorption compared to other benchmark porous adsorbents such as metal−organic frameworks (MOFs), 58 nanocomposites, 59 covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), 60,61 porous organic polymers (POPs), 27,62,63 hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCPs), 16,18,64−66 covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs), 67 and conjugated mesoporous polymers (CMPs). 68 These results strongly suggested that in addition to designing materials with high porosities, highly functionalized nonporous materials can also be used to accomplish effective adsorption of chemical species, in this case molecular iodine.…”
