Weaving microscale wool ball-like hollow covalent organic polymers from nanorods for efficient adsorption and sensing

Abstract

Microscale covalent organic polymers with unique 3D hollow wool ball-like morphology have been woven from 1D nanorods by a cascade emulsion strategy with large surface area (284 m2 g−1), which...

Nanoarchitectonics of Hollow Covalent Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications

“…One of the most intriguing methods to remove these contaminants is adsorption, which is simple and easy to perform under mild conditions. The combination of hierarchical channels, abundant functional moieties, ultrahigh surface area, and outstanding chemical stability make hollow COFs highly attractive candidates for the removal/capture of various contaminants, such as volatile iodine, metal ions, bisphenol A, perfluorinated compounds, quinones, aflatoxins, and oils …”
