Emerging applications of porous organic polymers in visible-light photocatalysis

Abstract

Porous organic polymers are efficient photocatalysts in organic synthesis, hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, and degradation of organic pollutants.

Multifunctional Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) Based Hybrid Porous Materials for CO2 Uptake and Iodine Adsorption

“…The preparation of porous organic polymers (POPs) has become a hot topic in the academic and industry fields due to their interesting features, such as high physicochemical stability, porous character, low density, facile preparation, low regeneration energy, and good thermal and chemical stabilities [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Porous organic polymers have been applied in different applications such as light harvesting, chemical sensors, catalysis, iodine uptake, H 2 production from water, water treatment, optoelectronic devices, carbon dioxide reduction, nanofiltration, enantioseparation, energy storage, gas separation, and adsorption [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Meso/Microporous Carbons from Conjugated Hyper-Crosslinked Polymers Based on Tetraphenylethene for High-Performance CO2 Capture and Supercapacitor

“…As mentioned above, HCPs are considered as a kind of porous material that can be easily synthesized through the Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction of rigid aromatic monomers with an external crosslinker such as formaldehyde dimethyl acetal, 1,3,5-trichlorotriazine, and 1,4-bis(chloromethyl)benzene [ 50 , 51 , 52 ]. Compared with other microporous material such as activated carbon, HCPs can be synthesized by low-cost monomers, catalysts, and suitable reaction conditions [ 53 , 54 ]. In addition, HCPs materials feature easy functionalization, good chemical and thermal properties, microporous nature, and large surface areas [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ].…”

Nowadays, the preparation of porous carbon materials has attracted much attention due to their interesting properties such as excellent electrical conductivity, high surface areas and high pore volumes, and good chemical, thermal, and mechanical stabilities [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ].…”

Multifunctional Hypercrosslinked Porous Organic Polymers Based on Tetraphenylethene and Triphenylamine Derivatives for High-Performance Dye Adsorption and Supercapacitor

“…Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) have attracted much attention as next-generation materials in the industry and academic areas because of their good thermal stability, low density, low regeneration energy, high pore volume and large BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) surface area, synthetic diversity, and easier preparation [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. MOPs have been used in many potential applications, such as water treatment, drug delivery, chemical sensing, heterogeneous catalysis, energy storage, hydrogen evolution, nanofiltration, oil scavenging, carbon dioxide reduction, gas separation and gas storage [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”
