We report the synthesis of two carbazole-thiophene-based conjugated microporous polymers (Cz-3Th and Cz-4Th CMPs) with different degrees of planarity for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water. Depending upon the building linker's planarity, we found that the porous structure, hydrogen-evolution rate, and photocatalytic stability of the resultant CMPs varied.

Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) present high promise for chemiresistive gas sensing owing to their inherent porosities, high surface areas, and tunable semiconducting properties. However, the poor conductivity hinders their widespread application in chemiresistive sensing. In this work, three typical CMPs (PSATA, PSATB, and PSATT) are synthesized and their chemiresistive gas sensing performance is investigated for the first time.

Zeolites are crystalline microporous aluminosilicates widely used as solid acids in catalytic routes to clean and sustainable energy carriers and chemicals from biogenic and fossil feedstocks. This study addresses how zeolites act as weak polyprotic acids and dissociate to form extra-crystalline hydronium (HO) ions in liquid water. The extent of their dissociation depends on the energy required to form the conjugate framework anions, which becomes unfavorable as the extent of dissociation increases intracrystalline charge densities because repulsive interactions ultimately preclude the detachment of all protons as catalytically relevant HO(aq) ions.

Article Synopsis
  • Organic dyes are widely used but their leakage into the environment is a global issue due to toxicity and nonbiodegradability, prompting the need for effective removal technologies.
  • This article discusses the synthesis of highly fluorinated conjugated microporous polymers that show promising adsorption properties, with a surface area of up to 1063 m²/g for removing cationic organic dyes from water.
  • The fluorinated polymers demonstrate a strong adsorption capacity of 313 mg/g for crystal violet, outperforming traditional adsorbents and also function as proton channels in lipid membranes.

In the quest for next-generation energy storage solutions, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries present exceptional potential due to their high energy density and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, significant challenges, such as the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and inadequate sulfur utilization, have impeded their practical application. In this study, we report the design and synthesis of a novel covalent organic polymer that integrates a triazine-linked framework with carbonyl-enriched polyimide moieties, serving as a highly effective sulfur host for Li-S batteries.

Conventional post-modification methods usually face the fundamental challenge of balancing the high content of functional groups and large surface area for porous organic polymers (POPs). The reason, presumably, stems from ineffective and insufficient swelling of the porous structure of POP materials, which is detrimental to mass transfer and modification of functional groups, especially with large-sized ones. It is important to note that significant differences exist in the porous structures of POP materials in a solvent-free state after thermal activation and solvent swelling state.
