Hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCPs) have been attracted widespread attention as adsorbents in recent years. A series of HCPs (HCP-1, HCP-2 and HCP-3) were synthesized via a Friedel-Crafts reaction using low-cross-linked pitch as precursor and dichloromethane (DCM) as cross-linking reagent and solvent. The prepared HCPs were characterized by N2 adsorption, Fourier transform infrared (FI-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and static water contact angle. The resultant HCPs possess micro/meso pore structures and a high stability. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas of HCP-1, HCP-2 and HCP-3 are 152 m2·g−1, 467 m2·g−1 and 447 m2·g−1, respectively. Their total pore volumes vary from 0.207 cm·g−1 to 0.545 cm3·g−1 and following the sequence of HCP-1<HCP-3<HCP-2. The FTIR spectra of HCPs suggests the DCM is successfully grafted onto the skeleton structure. Dynamic adsorption capacities of the prepared HCP-1, HCP-2 and HCP-3 were examined and the results show the adsorption properties of o-xylene on HCP-2 are significantly higher than that of the other HCPs. The adsorption amount of o-xylene on HCP-2 is 198.18 mg·g−1, which is higher than that of benzene, suggesting a strong adsorption selectivity for o-xylene over benzene. In addition, the effect of water vapor on the adsorption of o-xylene onto HCP-2 was investigated. The dynamic adsorption amount of o-xylene on HCP-2 decreases by 76.47% under the relative humidity (RH) of 30%, implying that the HCP-2 has poor hydrophobicity. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of o-xylene on HCP-2 shows a slight decline after five adsorption cycles. [Formula: see text]

“…The rapid development of industrialization worldwide has led to an increasingly serious shortage of freshwater resources and energy crisis . Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SIE) has attracted a lot of attention as a promising technology for the continuous production of clean steam due to its unique zero carbon emissions and inexhaustible solar energy. − With the continuous optimization of solar interface evaporation technology, more and more multifunctional solar evaporators continue to emerge, including those that are salt-resistant, − bacterial-algae-inhibitory, oil-resistant, salt-harvesting, , and of other types, they combine the characteristics of a simple preparation method, strong expansion, low cost, and recyclability. The SIE application field is more and more wide.…”
Solar-driven interfacial evaporation co-generation (SIE-CG) technology is of great significance in solving the problem of water and energy shortage. Herein, we report the ionic liquid-assisted alignment of waste biomass tea residue-based microcrystalline cellulose for aerogels (abbreviated as TPPA-5) with aligned channels for solar-driven interfacial evaporation cogeneration. In the ionic liquid, strong H-bonding is formed between the pyranoid rings of cellulose combined with the slow freezing technique, resulting in the microcrystalline cellulose being reoriented, which allowed TPPA-5 to form abundant aligned channels after solvent replacement and freeze-drying. These aligned channels enable the brine to form a localized circulating flow, which is conducive to the improvement of the TPPA's evaporation rate and salt resistance. The salinity gradient is naturally formed in the channel of TPPA, which enables TPPA-5 to show excellent power generation performance. The evaporation rate of TPPA-5 can reach 3.39 kg m −2 h −1 under 1 kW m −2 . With methanol as a highly polar proton solvent, the maximum output voltage obtained was 67.534 mV due to the overlapping electric double-layer effect formed by hydrogen protons on the TPPA surface, and the energy utilization efficiency is 95.95%. Moreover, TPPA-5 can purify pesticide-containing wastewater, which has the advantages of being recyclable and environmentally friendly, showing potential application value in the field of seawater desalination and steam co-generation.
