Constructing highly porous carbon materials from porous organic polymers for superior CO2 adsorption and separation

This work developed a facile strategy for constructing highly porous carbon materials from porous organic materials synthesized by three isomers of triphenyl. The boosted surface area and microporosity endow these materials with significant CO2 uptake capacity as high as 7.78 mmol g−1 at 273 K and 1 bar, thus resulting in appealing potential for CO2 adsorption and separation.
