“Cubism” on the Nanoscale: From Squaric Acid to Porous Carbon Cubes

“…As the example of zeolites is often showing, porosity is reaching a limit in terms of maximum value but also practical applicability. However, it was recently shown that the third dimension offers many creative possibilities . This, to our opinion, includes the Legobrick‐like tight packing of the primary particles, most preferably cubed which can fill 3D space completely, with only little undesired solvent pores left but interconnected channels ( Scheme ).…”

Rational Design of Carbon Nitride Materials by Supramolecular Preorganization of Monomers

“…Beyond graphitic carbon nitride, there is a wide family of porous carbon‐based materials which have been extensively researched as porous adsorbents of organic pollutants, for CO 2 capture, and for energetic and catalytic applications . Their morphology and structure, along with their electronic properties, determine their performance for a given application . Besides an increasing calcination temperature, the monomer selection in a supramolecular assembly can alter the final material chemical composition from C 3 N 4 to C 2 N or N‐doped carbons.…”

“…[98] Their morphology and structure, along with their electronic properties, determine their performance for a given application. [99] Besides an increasing calcination temperature, the monomer selection in a supramolecular assembly can alter the final material chemical composition from C 3 N 4 to C 2 N or Ndoped carbons. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 Ge et al showed the formation of nitrogen-doped graphene monoliths with a large number of active centers for electrocatalytic reactions, starting from the supramolecular preorganization of dicyanamide, glucose and ammonium sulfate.…”

Synthesis of Two‐dimensional Microporous Carbonaceous Polymer Nanosheets and Their Application as High‐performance CO2 Capture Sorbent

“…[9] Moltens alts, which provide high-temperature solvent reaction media, have al ong history as solvents in research as well as in industry. [10] Recently,i norganic salts with low melting pointss uch as metal halides, metal nitrates and sulfates,h ave received increasing attention as solvents in materials synthesis, and aw ide range of nanostructured polymer materials have been synthesized in molten inorganic salts. [11] Here, we present the direct synthesis of an ew type of 2D microporous carbonaceous polymer nanosheets throughp olymerization of aromatic nitrile monomers in molten ZnCl 2 .T he resulting carbonaceous polymer nanosheets exhibit at hickness of 3-20 nm, well-defined microporosity,ahigh surfacea rea, and ah igh micropore volume.…”
