Hydrogen storage is a primary challenge for using hydrogen as a fuel. With ideal hydrogen storage kinetics, the weak binding strength of hydrogen to sorbents is the key barrier to obtain decent hydrogen storage performance. Here, we reported the rational synthesis of a methyllithium‐doped naphthyl‐containing conjugated microporous polymer with exceptional binding strength of hydrogen to the polymer guided by theoretical simulations. Meanwhile, the experimental results showed that isosteric heat can reach up to 8.4 kJ mol?1 and the methyllithium‐doped naphthyl‐containing conjugated microporous polymer exhibited an enhanced hydrogen storage performance with 150 % enhancement compared with its counterpart naphthyl‐containing conjugated microporous polymer. These results indicate that this strategy provides a direction for design and synthesis of new materials that meet the US Department of Energy (DOE) hydrogen storage target. 相似文献
Developing efficient, stable and sustainable photocatalysts for water splitting is one of the most significant methods for generating hydrogen. Conjugated microporous polymers, as a new type of organic semiconductor photocatalyst, have adjustable bandgaps and high specific surface areas, and can be synthesized using diverse methods. In this work, we report the design and synthesis of a series of pyridyl conjugated microporous polymers(PCMPs) utilizing polycondensation of aromatic aldehydes and aromatic ketones in the presence of ammonium acetate. PCMPs with different chemical structures were synthesized via adjusting monomers with different geometries and contents of nitrogen element, which could adjust the bandgap and photocatalytic performance. Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate(HER) up to1198.9 μmol·h~(-1)·g~(-1) was achieved on the optimized polymer with a specific surface area of 312 m~2·g~(-1) under UV-Vis light irradiation(λ320 nm).This metal-free synthetic method provides a new avenue to preparing an efficient photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution. 相似文献
This tutorial review describes recent research directed towards the synthesis of polymer-based organic microporous materials termed Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIMs). PIMs can be prepared either as insoluble networks or soluble polymers with both types giving solids that exhibit analogous behaviour to that of conventional microporous materials such as activated carbons. Soluble PIMs may be processed into thin films for use as highly selective gas separation membranes. Preliminary results also demonstrate the potential of PIMs for heterogeneous catalysis and hydrogen storage. 相似文献
Microporous organic polymers offer the possibility of storing hydrogen safely at low temperatures and moderate pressures via physisorption. A range of polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) have been studied. The best PIM to date is based on a triptycene monomer and takes up 2.7% H2 by mass at 10 bar/77 K. Hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) also show promising performance, particularly at pressures >10 bar. The form of the H2 isotherm is influenced by the micropore distribution, a higher concentration of ultramicropores (pore size <0.7 nm), as found in PIMs, being associated with enhanced low pressure adsorption. The performance of polymers relative to other microporous materials (carbons and metal‐organic frameworks) is compared and promising methods to enhance the hydrogen uptake of microporous polymers are suggested.
The chemistry of the coordination polymers has in recent years advanced extensively, affording various architectures, which are constructed from a variety of molecular building blocks with different interactions between them. The next challenge is the chemical and physical functionalization of these architectures, through the porous properties of the frameworks. This review concentrates on three aspects of coordination polymers: 1). the use of crystal engineering to construct porous frameworks from connectors and linkers ("nanospace engineering"), 2). characterizing and cataloging the porous properties by functions for storage, exchange, separation, etc., and 3). the next generation of porous functions based on dynamic crystal transformations caused by guest molecules or physical stimuli. Our aim is to present the state of the art chemistry and physics of and in the micropores of porous coordination polymers. 相似文献
Conjugated microporous polymers are a unique class of polymers that combine extended π‐conjugation with inherent porosity. However, these polymers are synthesized through solution‐phase reactions to yield insoluble and unprocessable solids, which preclude not only the evaluation of their conducting properties but also the fabrication of thin films for device implementation. Here, we report a strategy for the synthesis of thin films of π‐conjugated microporous polymers by designing thiophene‐based electropolymerization at the solution–electrode interface. High‐quality films are prepared on a large area of various electrodes, the film thickness is controllable, and the films are used for device fabrication. These films are outstanding hole conductors and, upon incorporation of fullerenes into the pores, function as highly efficient photoactive layers for energy conversions. Our film strategy may boost the applications in photocatalysis, energy storage, and optoelectronics. 相似文献
