Removal of Chromium and Arsenic from Water Using Polyol-Functionalized Porous Aromatic Frameworks. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:23831-23841.

Abstract
Chromium and arsenic are two of the most problematic water pollutants due to their high toxicity and prevalence in various water streams. While adsorption and ion-exchange processes have been applied for the efficient removal of numerous toxic contaminants, including heavy metals, from water, these technologies display relatively low overall performances and stabilities for the remediation of chromium and arsenic oxyanions. This work presents the use of polyol-functionalized porous aromatic framework (PAF) adsorbent materials that use chelation, ion-exchange, redox activity, and hydrogen-bonding interactions for the highly selective capture of chromium and arsenic from water. The chromium and arsenic binding mechanisms within these materials are probed using an array of characterization techniques, including X-ray absorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. Adsorption studies reveal that the functionalized porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) achieve selective, near-instantaneous (reaching equilibrium capacity within 10 s), and high-capacity (2.5 mmol/g) binding performances owing to their targeted chemistries, high porosities, and high functional group loadings. Cycling tests further demonstrate that the top-performing PAF material can be recycled using mild acid and base washes without any measurable performance loss over at least ten adsorption-desorption cycles. Finally, we establish chemical design principles enabling the selective removal of chromium, arsenic, and boron from water. To achieve this, we show that PAFs appended with analogous binding groups exhibit differences in adsorption behavior, revealing the importance of binding group length and chemical identity.

Abstract
A strategy of tuning azole-based ionic liquids for reversible CO2 capture from ambient air was reported. Through tuning the basicity of anion as well as the type of cation, an ideal azole-based ionic liquid with both high CO2 capacity and excellent stability was synthesized, which exhibited a highest single-component isotherm uptake of 2.17 mmol/g at the atmospheric CO2 concentration of 0.4 mbar at 30 °C, even in the presence of water. The bound CO2 can be released by relatively mild heating of the IL-CO2 at 80 °C, which makes it promising for energy-efficient CO2 desorption and sorbent regeneration, leading to excellent reversibility. To the best of our knowledge, these azole-based ionic liquids are superior to other adsorbent materials for direct air capture due to their dual-tunable properties and high CO2 capture efficiency, offering a new prospect for efficient and reversible direct air capture technologies.

Abstract
The remarkable characteristics of porous biochar have generated significant interest in various fields, such as CO2 capture and supercapacitors. The modification of aerogel-derived porous biochar through activation and heteroatomic doping can effectively enhance CO2 adsorption and improve supercapacitor performance. In this study, a novel N, B-co-doped porous biochar (NBCPB) was synthesized by carbonating and activating the N, B dual-doped cellulose aerogel. N and B atoms were doped in-situ using a modified alkali-urea method. The potassium citrate was served as both an activator and a salt template to facilitate the formation of a well-developed nanostructure. The optimized NBCPB-650-1 (where 650 corresponded to activation temperature and 1 represented mass ratio of potassium citrate activator to carbonized NBCPB-400 precursor) displayed the largest micropore volume of 0.40 cm3·g-1 and a high specific surface area of 891 m2·g-1, which contributed to an excellent CO2 adsorption capacity of 4.19 mmol·g-1 at 100 kPa and 25 °C, a high CO2/N2 selectivity, and exceptional reusability (retained >97.5 % after 10 adsorption-desorption cycles). Additionally, the NBCPB-650-1 electrode also delivered a high capacitance of 220.9 F·g-1 at 1 A·g-1. Notably, the symmetrical NBCPB-650-1 supercapacitor exhibited a high energy density of 9 Wh·kg-1 at the power density of 100 W·kg-1. This study not only presents the potential application of NBCPB-650-1 material in CO2 capture and electrochemical energy storage, but also offers a new insight into easy-to-scale production of heteroatomic-modified porous biochar.

Abstract
Hydrogen storage is crucial in the shift toward a carbon-neutral society, where hydrogen serves as a pivotal renewable energy source. Utilizing porous materials can provide an efficient hydrogen storage solution, reducing tank pressures to manageable levels and circumventing the energy-intensive and costly current technological infrastructure. Herein, two highly porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs), C-PAF and Si-PAF, prepared through a Yamamoto C─C coupling reaction between trigonal prismatic monomers, are reported. These PAFs exhibit large pore volumes and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller areas, 3.93 cm3 g-1 and 4857 m2 g-1 for C-PAF, and 3.80 cm3 g-1 and 6099 m2 g-1 for Si-PAF, respectively. Si-PAF exhibits a record-high gravimetric hydrogen delivery capacity of 17.01 wt% and a superior volumetric capacity of 46.5 g L-1 under pressure-temperature swing adsorption conditions (77 K, 100 bar → 160 K, 5 bar), outperforming benchmark hydrogen storage materials. By virtue of the robust C─C covalent bond, both PAFs show impressive structural stabilities in harsh environments and unprecedented long-term durability. Computational modeling methods are employed to simulate and investigate the structural and adsorption properties of the PAFs. These results demonstrate that C-PAF and Si-PAF are promising materials for efficient hydrogen storage.

High-Capacity, Cooperative CO 2 Capture in a Diamine-Appended Metal-Organic Framework through a Combined Chemisorptive and Physisorptive Mechanism. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:6072-6083.

Abstract
Diamine-appended Mg2(dobpdc) (dobpdc4- = 4,4'-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxylate) metal-organic frameworks are promising candidates for carbon capture that exhibit exceptional selectivities and high capacities for CO2. To date, CO2 uptake in these materials has been shown to occur predominantly via a chemisorption mechanism involving CO2 insertion at the amine-appended metal sites, a mechanism that limits the capacity of the material to ∼1 equiv of CO2 per diamine. Herein, we report a new framework, pip2-Mg2(dobpdc) (pip2 = 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine), that exhibits two-step CO2 uptake and achieves an unusually high CO2 capacity approaching 1.5 CO2 per diamine at saturation. Analysis of variable-pressure CO2 uptake in the material using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) reveals that pip2-Mg2(dobpdc) captures CO2 via an unprecedented mechanism involving the initial insertion of CO2 to form ammonium carbamate chains at half of the sites in the material, followed by tandem cooperative chemisorption and physisorption. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis, supported by van der Waals-corrected density functional theory, reveals that physisorbed CO2 occupies a pocket formed by adjacent ammonium carbamate chains and the linker. Based on breakthrough and extended cycling experiments, pip2-Mg2(dobpdc) exhibits exceptional performance for CO2 capture under conditions relevant to the separation of CO2 from landfill gas. More broadly, these results highlight new opportunities for the fundamental design of diamine-Mg2(dobpdc) materials with even higher capacities than those predicted based on CO2 chemisorption alone.

Abstract
Engineering of conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with high porosity, redox activity, and electronic conductivity is of significant importance for their practical applications in electrochemical energy storage. Aminated-multiwall carbon nanotubes (NH2 -MWNT) are utilized to modulate the porosity and electronic conductivity of polytriphenylamine (PTPA), which is synthesized via Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reaction of tri(4-bromophenyl)amine and phenylenediamine as constitutional units in a one-step in situ polymerization process. Compared to PTPA, the specific surface area of core-shell PTPA@MWNTs has been greatly improved from 32 to 484 m2 g-1 . The PTPA@MWNTs exhibites an improved specific capacitance, with the highest value 410 F g-1 in 0.5 M H2 SO4 at a current of 10 A g-1 achieve for PTPA@MWNT-4 due to the hierarchical meso-micro pores, high redox-activity and electronic conductivity. Symmetric supercapacitor assemble by PTPA@MWNT-4 has a capacitance of 216 F g-1 of total electrode materials and retains 71% of initial capacitance after 6000 cycles. This study gives new insights into the role of CNT templates in the adjustment of molecular structure, porosity, and electronic property of CMPs for the high-performance electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
The photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2R) coupled with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) constitutes a promising step for a sustainable generation of syngas (CO + H2), an essential feedstock for the preparation of several commodity chemicals. Herein, visible light/sunlight-promoted catalytic reduction of CO2 and protons to syngas using rationally designed porphyrin-based 2D porous organic frameworks, POF(Co/Zn) is demonstrated. Indeed, POF(Co) showed superior catalytic performance over the Zn counterpart with CO and H2 generation rates of 1104 and 3981 μmol g-1h-1, respectively. The excellent catalytic performance of Co-based POF is aided by the favorable transfer of photo-excited electrons from Ru-sensitizer to the CoII catalytic site, which is not feasible in the case of POF(Zn), revealed from the theoretical investigation. More importantly, the POF(Co) catalyzes the reduction of CO2 even from dilute gas (13% CO2), surpassing most reported framework-based photocatalytic systems. Significantly, the catalytic performance of POF(Co) was increased under natural sunlight conditions suggesting sunlight-promoted enhancement in syngas generation. The in-depth theoretical investigation further unveiled the comprehensive mechanistic pathway of the light-promoted concurrent CO and H2 generation. This work showcases the advantages of porphyrin-based frameworks for visible light/sunlight-promoted syngas generation by utilizing greenhouse gas (CO2) and protons under mild eco-friendly conditions.

Abstract
Porosity is the key factor in determining the CO2 capture capacity for porous carbon-based adsorbents, especially narrow micropores of less than 1.0 nm. Unfortunately, this desired feature is still a great challenge to tailor micropores by an effective, low-corrosion, and environmentally friendly activating agent. Herein, we reported a suitable dynamic porogen of CuCl2 to engineer microporous carbons rich in narrow micropores of <1.0 nm for solving the above problem. The porosity can be easily tuned by varying the concentration of the CuCl2 porogen. The resultant porous carbons exhibited a multiscale micropore size, high micropore volume, and suitable surface nitrogen doping content, especially high-proportioned ultromicropores of <0.7 nm. As adsorbents for capturing CO2, the obtained microporous carbons possess satisfactory CO2 uptake, moderate heat of CO2 adsorption, reasonable CO2/N2 selectivity, and easy regeneration. Our work proposes an alternative way to design porous carbon-based adsorbents for efficiently capturing CO2 from the postcombustion flue gases. More importantly, this work opens up an almost-zero cost and industrially friendly route to convert biowaste into high-added-value adsorbents for CO2 capture in an industrial practical application.

Abstract
ConspectusSolid-supported amines are a promising class of CO2 sorbents capable of selectively capturing CO2 from diverse sources. The chemical interactions between the amine groups and CO2 give rise to the formation of strong CO2 adducts, such as alkylammonium carbamates, carbamic acids, and bicarbonates, which enable CO2 capture even at low driving force, such as with ultradilute CO2 streams. Among various solid-supported amine sorbents, oligomeric amines infused into oxide solid supports (noncovalently supported) are widely studied due to their ease of synthesis and low cost. This method allows for the construction of amine-rich sorbents while minimizing problems, such as leaching or evaporation, that occur with supported molecular amines.Researchers have pursued improved sorbents by tuning the physical and chemical properties of solid supports and amine phases. In terms of CO2 uptake, the amine efficiency, or the moles of sorbed CO2 per mole of amine sites, and uptake rate (CO2 capture per unit time) are the most critical factors determining the effectiveness of the material. While structure-property relationships have been developed for different porous oxide supports, the interaction(s) of the amine phase with the solid support, the structure and distribution of the organic phase within the pores, and the mobility of the amine phase within the pores are not well understood. These factors are important, because the kinetics of CO2 sorption, particularly when using the prototypical amine oligomer branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI), follow an unconventional trend, with rapid initial uptake followed by a very slow, asymptotic approach to equilibrium. This suggests that the uptake of CO2 within such solid-supported amines is mass transfer-limited. Therefore, improving sorption performance can be facilitated by better understanding the amine structure and distribution within the pores.In this context, model solid-supported amine sorbents were constructed from a highly ordered, mesoporous silica SBA-15 support, and an array of techniques was used to probe the soft matter domains within these hybrid materials. The choice of SBA-15 as the model support was based on its ordered arrangement of mesopores with tunable physical and chemical properties, including pore size, particle lengths, and surface chemistries. Branched PEI─the most common amine phase used in solid CO2 sorbents─and its linear, low molecular weight analogue, tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), were deployed as the amine phases. Neutron scattering (NS), including small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS), alongside solid-state NMR (ssNMR) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, was used to elucidate the structure and mobility of the amine phases within the pores of the support. Together, these tools, which have previously not been applied to such materials, provided new information regarding how the amine phases filled the support pores as the loading increased and the mobility of those amine phases. Varying pore surface-amine interactions led to unique trends for amine distributions and mobility; for instance, hydrophilic walls (i.e., attractive to amines) resulted in hampered motions with more intimate coordination to the walls, while amines around hydrophobic walls or walls with grafted chains that interrupt amine-wall coordination showed recovered mobility, with amines being more liberated from the walls. By correlating the structural and dynamic properties with CO2 sorption properties, novel relationships were identified, shedding light on the performance of the amine sorbents, and providing valuable guidance for the design of more effective supported amine sorbents.

Abstract
ConspectusAs renewable energy and CO2 utilization technologies progress to make a more significant contribution to global emissions reduction, carbon capture remains a critical component of the mission. Current CO2 capture technologies involve operations at point sources such as fossil fuel-based power plants or source-agnostic like in direct air capture. Each strategy has its own advantages and limitations, but in common, they all employ sorption-based methods with the use of sorbents strongly adhering to CO2. Amine solutions are the most widely used absorbents for industrial operations due to the robust chemical bonds formed between amines and CO2 under both dry and humid conditions, rendering excellent selectivity. Such strong binding, however, causes problematic regeneration. In contrast, purely physisorptive porous materials with high surface areas allow for the confinement of CO2 inside narrow pores/channels and have a lower regeneration energy demand but with decreased selectivity and capacity. The most promising solution would then be the unification of both types of sorbents in one system, which could bring about a practical adsorption-desorption process. In other words, the development of porous solid materials with tunable amine content is necessary to leverage the high contact surface of porous sorbents with the added ability to manipulate amine incorporation toward lower CO2 binding strength.To answer the call to uncover the most feasible amine chemistry in carbon capture, our group has devoted intense effort to the study of amine-based CO2 adsorbents for the past decade. Oriented along practicality, we put forth a principle for the design of our materials to be produced in no more than three synthetic steps with economically viable starting materials. Porous organic polymers with amine functionalities of various substitutions, meaning primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, were synthesized and studied for CO2 adsorption. Direct synthesis proved to be feasibly applicable for secondary and tertiary amine-incorporated porous polymers whereas primary-amine-based sorbents would be conveniently obtained via postsynthetic modifications. Sorbents based on tertiary amines exhibit purely physical adsorption behavior if the nitrogen atoms are placed adjacent to aromatic cores due to the conjugation effect that reduces the electron density of the amine. However, when such conjugation is inhibited, chemisorptive activity is observed. Secondary amine adsorbents, in turn, express a higher binding strength than tertiary amine counterparts, but both types can merit a strengthened binding by the physical impregnation of small-molecule amines. Sorbents with primary-amine tethers can be obtained via postsynthetic transformation of precursor functionalities, and for them, chemical adsorption is mainly at work. We conclude that mixed-amine systems could exhibit unprecedented binding mechanisms, resulting in exceptionally specific interactions that would be useful for the development of highly selective sorbents for CO2.

Abstract
Rising CO2 emissions are responsible for increasing global temperatures causing climate change. Significant efforts are underway to develop amine-based sorbents to directly capture CO2 from air (called direct air capture (DAC)) to combat the effects of climate change. However, the sorbents' performances have usually been evaluated at ambient temperatures (25 °C) or higher, most often under dry conditions. A significant portion of the natural environment where DAC plants can be deployed experiences temperatures below 25 °C, and ambient air always contains some humidity. In this study, we assess the CO2 adsorption behavior of amine (poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)) impregnated into porous alumina at ambient (25 °C) and cold temperatures (-20 °C) under dry and humid conditions. CO2 adsorption capacities at 25 °C and 400 ppm CO2 are highest for 40 wt% TEPA-incorporated γ-Al2O3 samples (1.8 mmol CO2/g sorbent), while 40 wt % PEI-impregnated γ-Al2O3 samples exhibit moderate uptakes (0.9 mmol g-1). CO2 capacities for both PEI- and TEPA-incorporated γ-Al2O3 samples decrease with decreasing amine content and temperatures. The 40 and 20 wt % TEPA sorbents show the best performance at -20 °C under dry conditions (1.6 and 1.1 mmol g-1, respectively). Both the TEPA samples also exhibit stable and high working capacities (0.9 and 1.2 mmol g-1) across 10 cycles of adsorption-desorption (adsorption at -20 °C and desorption conducted at 60 °C). Introducing moisture (70% RH at -20 and 25 °C) improves the CO2 capacity of the amine-impregnated sorbents at both temperatures. The 40 wt% PEI, 40 wt % TEPA, and 20 wt% TEPA samples show good CO2 uptakes at both temperatures. The results presented here indicate that γ-Al2O3 impregnated with PEI and TEPA are potential materials for DAC at ambient and cold conditions, with further opportunities to optimize these materials for the scalable deployment of DAC plants at different environmental conditions.

Abstract
Fossil fuel use is accelerating climate change, driving the need for efficient CO2 capture technologies. Solid adsorption-based direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 has emerged as a promising mode for CO2 removal from the atmosphere due to its potential for scalability. Sorbents based on porous supports incorporating oligomeric amines in their pore spaces are widely studied. In this study, we investigate the intermolecular interactions and adsorption of CO2 and H2O molecules in hyperbranched poly(ethylenimine) (HB-PEI) functionalized MCM-41 systems to understand the distribution and transport of CO2 and H2O molecules. Density Functional Theory (DFT) is employed to compute the binding energies of CO2 and H2O molecules with HB-PEI and MCM-41 and to develop force field parameters for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The MD simulations are performed to examine the distribution and transport of CO2 and H2O molecules as a function of the HB-PEI content. The study finds that an HB-PEI content of approximately 34 wt % is thermodynamically favorable, with an upper limit of HB-PEI loading between 45 and 50 wt %. The distribution of CO2 and H2O molecules is primarily determined by their adsorptive binding energies, for which H2O molecules dominate the occupation of binding sites due to their strong affinity with silanol groups on MCM-41 and amine groups of HB-PEI. The HB-PEI content has a considerable impact on the diffusion of CO2 and H2O molecules. Furthermore, a larger number of water molecules (higher relative humidity) reduces the correlation of CO2 with the MCM-41 pore surface while enhancing the correlation of CO2 with the amine groups of the HB-PEI. Overall, the presence of H2O molecules increases the CO2 correlation with the amine groups and also the CO2 transport within HB-PEI-loaded MCM-41, meaning that the presence of H2O enhances the CO2 capture in the HB-PEI-loaded MCM-41. These findings are consistent with experimental observations of the impact of increasing humidity on CO2 capture while providing new, molecular-level explanations for the macroscopic experimental findings.

Abstract
Carbon aerogels are special porous materials with low density and large specific surface area and have advanced applications. As a new type of carbon nanomaterials, graphdiynes (GDY) aerogel possess a highly π-conjugated structure, unique sp/sp2-hybridized linkages, and well-distributed intrinsic pores, which endow GDY aerogel with great potential applications. However, the fabrication of macroscopic GDY aerogel is still an ongoing challenge due to intrinsic synthetic difficulties. Here, a modified Hiyama coupling reaction was developed to synthesize GDY aerogel via in-situ deprotection of trimethylsilane groups and subsequent freeze-drying. The synthesized GDY aerogel has a low density of ∼12 mg cm-3, a high specific surface area of ∼909 m2 g-1, and a porosity of ∼98%, which is superior to other GDY nanomaterials. The adsorption capacity of GDY aerogel toward H2, CO2, and CH4 is investigated, and competitive adsorption abilities are obtained.

Abstract
Multifunctionalization of porous organic polymers toward synergistic CO2 catalysis has drawn much attention in recent decades, but it still faces many challenges. Herein, we develop a facile, simple, and efficient strategy to obtain a series of aluminum porphyrin-based ionic porous aromatic frameworks (iPAFs), which are considered excellent bifunctional catalysts for converting CO2 into cyclic carbonates without any cocatalyst under mild and solvent-free conditions. By increasing the amounts of tetraphenylmethane fragments in the porphyrin backbones, the cooperative effect between Lewis acidic metal centers and nucleophilic ionic sites has been enhanced and then the significant improvement of catalytic activity can be achieved owing to the high surface areas (up to 719 m2·g-1), abundant hierarchical micro-mesopores, and prominent CO2 adsorption capacities (up to 1.8 mmol·g-1 at 273 K) as well as highly dispersed dual-function sites. More fascinatingly, high-active AlPor-iPAF-3 enables CO2 cycloaddition to perform with diluted CO2 (15% CO2 in 85% N2, v/v) or under ambient conditions. Therefore, this postsynthetic modification procedure in combination with the framework dilution strategy provides a new approach to fabricating high-surface-area metalloporphyrin-based porous ionic polymers (PIPs) with hierarchical structures, which is conducive to improving the accessibility of multiple active sites around substrates.

Abstract
The catalytic cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides to afford cyclic carbonates as useful monomers, intermediates, solvents, and additives is a continuously growing field of investigation as a way to carry out the atom-economic conversion of CO2 to value-added products. Metal-free organocatalytic compounds are attractive systems among various catalysts for such transformations because they are inexpensive, nontoxic, and readily available. Herein, we highlight and discuss key advances in the development of polymer-based organocatalytic materials that match these requirements of affordability and availability by considering their synthetic routes, the monomers, and the supports employed. The discussion is organized according to the number (monofunctional versus bifunctional materials) and type of catalytically active moieties, including both halide-based and halide-free systems. Two general synthetic approaches are identified based on the postsynthetic functionalization of polymeric supports or the copolymerization of monomers bearing catalytically active moieties. After a review of the material syntheses and catalytic activities, the chemical and structural features affecting catalytic performance are discussed. Based on such analysis, some strategies for the future design of affordable and readily available polymer-based organocatalysts with enhanced catalytic activity under mild conditions are considered.

Abstract
The adverse impact of particulate air pollution on human health1,2 has prompted the development of purification systems that filter particulates out of air3-5. To maintain performance, the filter units must inevitably be replaced at some point, which requires maintenance, involves costs and generates solid waste6,7. Here we show that an ion-doped conjugated polymer-coated matrix infiltrated with a selected functional liquid enables efficient, continuous and maintenance-free air purification. As the air to be purified moves through the system in the form of bubbles, the functional fluid provides interfaces for filtration and for removal of particulate matter and pollutant molecules from air. Theoretical modelling and experimental results demonstrate that the system exhibits high efficiency and robustness: its one-time air purification efficiency can reach 99.6%, and its dust-holding capacity can reach 950 g m-2. The system is durable and resistant to fouling and corrosion, and the liquid acting as filter can be reused and adjusted to also enable removal of bacteria or odours. We anticipate that our purification approach will be useful for the development of specialist air purifiers that might prove useful in a settings such as hospitals, factories and mines.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) have drawn significant attention in diverse applications. However, factors affecting the heterogeneous polymerization and porosity of POPs are still not well understood. Herein, we report a new strategy to construct porous organophosphorus polymers (POPPs) with high surface areas (1283 m2/g) and ultramicroporous structures (0.67 nm). The strategy harnesses an efficient transition-metal-catalyzed phosphorus-carbon (P-C) coupling reaction at the trigonal pyramidal P-center, which is distinct from the typical carbon-carbon coupling reaction utilized in the synthesis of POPs. As the first kinetic study on the coupling reaction of POPs, we uncovered a self-accelerating reaction characteristic, which is controlled by the choice of bases and catalysts. The self-accelerating characteristic of the P-C coupling reaction is beneficial for the high surface area and uniform ultramicroporosity of POPPs. The direct crosslinking of the P-centers allows 31P solid-state (ss)NMR experiments to unambiguously reveal the crosslinking environments of POPPs. Leveraging on the kinetic studies and 31P ssNMR studies, we were able to reveal the kinetic effects of the P-C coupling reaction on both the crosslinking environments and the porous structures of POPPs. Furthermore, our studies show that the CO2 uptake capacity of POPPs is highly dependent on their porous structures. Overall, our studies paves the way to design new POPs with better controlled chemical and ultramicroporous structures, which have potential applications for CO2 capture and separation.

Abstract
The employment of weak intermolecular interactions in supramolecular chemistry offers an alternative approach to project artificial chemical environments like the active sites of enzymes. Discrete molecular architectures with defined shapes and geometries have become a revolutionary field of research in recent years because of their intrinsic porosity and ease of synthesis using dynamic non-covalent/covalent interactions. Several porous molecular cages have been constructed from simple building blocks by self-assembly, which undergoes many self-correction processes to form the final architecture. These supramolecular systems have been developed to demonstrate numerous applications, such as guest stabilization, drug delivery, catalysis, smart materials, and many other related fields. In this respect, catalysis in confined nanospaces using such supramolecular cages has seen significant growth over the years. These porous discrete cages contain suitable apertures for easy intake of substrates and smooth release of products to exhibit exceptional catalytic efficacy. This review highlights recent advancements in catalytic activity influenced by the nanocavities of hydrogen-bonded cages, metal-ligand coordination cages, and dynamic or reversible covalently bonded organic cages in different solvent media. Synthetic strategies for these three types of supramolecular systems are discussed briefly and follow similar and simplistic approaches manifested by simple starting materials and benign conditions. These examples demonstrate the progress of various functionalized molecular cages for specific chemical transformations in aqueous and nonaqueous media. Finally, we discuss the enduring challenges related to porous cage compounds that need to be overcome for further developments in this field of work.

Abstract
Herein, we report a strategy to construct highly efficient perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) adsorbents by installing synergistic electrostatic/hydrophobic sites onto porous organic polymers (POPs). The constructed model material of PAF-1-NDMB (NDMB = N,N-dimethyl-butylamine) demonstrates an exceptionally high PFOA uptake capacity over 2000 mg g-1, which is 14.8 times enhancement compared with its parent material of PAF-1. And it is 32.0 and 24.1 times higher than benchmark materials of DFB-CDP (β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-based polymer network) and activated carbon under the same conditions. Furthermore, PAF-1-NDMB exhibits the highest k2 value of 24,000 g mg-1 h-1 among all reported PFOA sorbents. And it can remove 99.99% PFOA from 1000 ppb to <70 ppt within 2 min, which is lower than the advisory level of Environmental Protection Agency of United States. This work thus not only provides a generic approach for constructing PFOA adsorbents, but also develops POPs as a platform for PFOA capture.

Abstract
Effective heterogeneous photocatalysts capable of detoxifying chemical threats in practical settings must exhibit outstanding device integrity. We report a copolymerization that yields robust, porous, processible, chromophoric BODIPY (BDP; boron-dipyrromethene)-containing polymers of intrinsic microporosity (BDP-PIMs). Installation of a pentafluorophenyl at the meso position of a BDP produced reactive monomer that when combined with 5,5,6,6-tetrahydroxy-3,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1,1-spirobisindane (TTSBI) and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (TFTPN) yields PIM-1. Postsynthetic modification of these polymers yields Br-BDP-PIM-1a and -1b─polymers containing bromine at the 2,6-positions. Remarkably, the brominated polymers display porosity and processability features similar to those of H-BDP-PIMs. Gas adsorption reveals molecular-scale porosity and Brunette-Emmet-Teller surface areas as high as 680 m2 g-1. Electronic absorption spectra reveal charge-transfer (CT) bands centered at 660 nm, while bands arising from local excitations, LE, of BDP and TFTPN units are at 530 and 430 nm, respectively. Fluorescence spectra of the polymers reveal a Förster resonance energy-transfer (FRET) pathway to BDP units when TFTPN units are excited at 430 nm; weak phosphorescence at room temperature indicates a singlet-to-triplet intersystem crossing. The low-lying triplet state is well positioned energetically to sensitize the conversion of ground-state (triplet) molecular oxygen to electronically excited singlet oxygen. Photosensitization capabilities of these polymers toward singlet-oxygen-driven detoxification of a sulfur-mustard simulant 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) have been examined. While excitation of CT and LEBDP bands yields weak catalytic activity (t1/2 > 15 min), excitation to higher energy states of TFTPN induces significant increases in photoactivity (t1/2 ≅ 5 min). The increase is attributable to (i) enhanced light collection, (ii) FRET between TFTPN and BDP, (iii) the presence of heavy atoms (bromine) having large spin-orbit coupling energies that can facilitate intersystem crossing from donor-acceptor CT-, FRET-, or LE-generated BDP singlet states to BDP-related triplet states, and (iv) polymer triplet excited-state sensitization of the formation of CEES-reactive, singlet oxygen.

Abstract
Molecular separations that enable selective transport of target molecules from gas and liquid molecular mixtures, such as CO2 capture, olefin/paraffin separations, and organic solvent nanofiltration, represent the most energy sensitive and significant demands. Membranes are favored for molecular separations owing to the advantages of energy efficiency, simplicity, scalability, and small environmental footprint. A number of emerging microporous organic materials have displayed great potential as building blocks of molecular separation membranes, which not only integrate the rigid, engineered pore structures and desirable stability of inorganic molecular sieve membranes, but also exhibit a high degree of freedom to create chemically rich combinations/sequences. To gain a deep insight into the intrinsic connections and characteristics of these microporous organic material-based membranes, in this review, for the first time, we propose the concept of organic molecular sieve membranes (OMSMs) with a focus on the precise construction of membrane structures and efficient intensification of membrane processes. The platform chemistries, designing principles, and assembly methods for the precise construction of OMSMs are elaborated. Conventional mass transport mechanisms are analyzed based on the interactions between OMSMs and penetrate(s). Particularly, the 'STEM' guidelines of OMSMs are highlighted to guide the precise construction of OMSM structures and efficient intensification of OMSM processes. Emerging mass transport mechanisms are elucidated inspired by the phenomena and principles of the mass transport processes in the biological realm. The representative applications of OMSMs in gas and liquid molecular mixture separations are highlighted. The major challenges and brief perspectives for the fundamental science and practical applications of OMSMs are tentatively identified.

Abstract
Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with robust architectures, facilely tunable pore sizes and large specific surface areas have emerged as an important class of porous materials due to their demonstrated prospects in various fields, e.g. gas storage/separation and heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, two new pyrrole-based CMPs with large specific surface areas and good stabilities were successfully prepared by one-step oxidative self-polycondensation of 1,2,4,5-tetra (pyrrol-2-ly)benzene or 1,3,5-tri (pyrrol-2-ly)benzene, respectively. Interestingly, both CMPs showed very high catalytic activity toward Knoevenagel condensation reaction, which was attributed to the inherent pore channels, high specific surface areas and abundant nitrogen sites within CMPs. Additionally, both CMPs displayed excellent recyclability with negligible degradation after 10 cycles. This work provides new possibilities into designing novel nitrogen-rich high-performance heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Technologies that can efficiently purify nontraditional water sources are needed to meet rising global demand for clean water. Water treatment plants typically require a series of costly separation units to achieve desalination and the removal of toxic trace contaminants such as heavy metals and boron. We report a series of robust, selective, and tunable adsorptive membranes that feature porous aromatic framework nanoparticles embedded within ion exchange polymers and demonstrate their use in an efficient, one-step separation strategy termed ion-capture electrodialysis. This process uses electrodialysis configurations with adsorptive membranes to simultaneously desalinate complex water sources and capture diverse target solutes with negligible capture of competing ions. Our methods are applicable to the development of efficient and selective multifunctional separations that use adsorptive membranes.

Abstract
Functionalized hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) with surface areas between 213 and 1124 m2/g based on a range of monomers containing different chemical moieties were evaluated for CO2 capture using a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) methodology under humid conditions and elevated temperatures. The networks demonstrated rapid CO2 uptake reaching maximum uptakes in under 60 s. The most promising networks demonstrating the best selectivity and highest uptakes were applied to a pressure swing setup using simulated flue gas streams. The carbazole, triphenylmethanol and triphenylamine networks were found to be capable of converting a dilute CO2 stream (>20%) into a concentrated stream (>85%) after only two pressure swing cycles from 20 bar (adsorption) to 1 bar (desorption). This work demonstrates the ease with which readily synthesized functional porous materials can be successfully applied to a pressure swing methodology and used to separate CO2 from N2 from industrially applicable simulated gas streams under more realistic conditions.

Abstract
Hyperbranched poly(ethylenimine) (HB-PEI) has been distinguished as a promising candidate for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. In this study, we investigate the distribution and transport of CO2 molecules in a HB-PEI membrane at various hydration levels using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. For this, model structures consisting of amorphous HB-PEI membranes with CO2 molecules are equilibrated at various hydration levels. Under dry conditions, the primary and secondary amines are highly associated with CO2, indicating that they would participate in CO2 capture via the carbamate formation mechanism. Under hydrated conditions, the pair correlations of CO2 with the primary and secondary amines are reduced. This result suggests that the carbamate formation mechanism is less prevalent compared to dry conditions, which is also supported by CO2 residence time analysis. However, in the presence of water molecules, it is found that the CO2 molecules can be associated with both amine groups and water molecules, which would enable the tertiary amine as well as the primary and secondary amines to capture CO2 molecules via the bicarbonate formation mechanism. Through our MD simulation results, the feasibilities of different CO2 capture pathways in HB-PEI membranes are demonstrated at the molecular level.

Abstract
Effective removal of excess greenhouse gas CO2 necessitates new adsorbents that can overcome the shortcomings of the current capture methods. To achieve that, porous materials are often modified post-synthetically with reactive amine functionalities but suffer from significant surface area losses. Herein, we report a successful amine post-functionalization of a highly porous covalent organic polymer, COP-130, without losing much porosity. By varying the amine substituents, we recorded a remarkable increase in CO2 uptake and selectivity. Ketone functionality, a rarely accessible functional group for porous polymers, was inserted prior to amination and led to covalent tethering of amines. Interestingly, aminated polymers demonstrated relatively low heats of adsorption, which is useful for the rapid recyclability of materials, due to the formation of suspected intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
The adsorption properties and formation mechanism of ammonium carbamate for CO2 capture in N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine (mmen) grafted M2(dobpdc) (dobpdc4- = 4,4'-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxylate; M = Mg, Sc-Zn, except Ni) have been studied via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We see that the mmen molecule is joined to the metal site via a M-N bond and has hydrogen bonding with neighboring mmen molecules. The binding energies of mmen range from 135.4 to 184.0 kJ/mol. CO2 is captured via insertion into the M-N bond of mmen-M2(dobpdc), forming ammonium carbamate. The CO2 binding energies (35.2 to 92.2 kJ/mol) vary with different metal centers. Furthermore, the Bader charge analysis shows that the CO2 molecules acquire 0.42 to 0.47 |e|. This charge is mainly contributed by the mmen, and a small additional amount is from the metal atom bonded with the CO2. The preferred reaction pathway is a two-step reaction. In the first step, the hydrogen bonded complex B changes into an N-coordinated intermediate D with high barriers (0.69 to 1.58 eV). The next step involves the translation and rotation of the chain in the intermediate D, resulting in the formation of the final O-coordinated product I with barriers of 0.22 to 0.61 eV. The higher barriers of CO2 reaction with mmen-M2(dobpdc) relative to attack the primary amine might be due to the larger steric hindrance of mmen. We hope this work will contribute to an improved understanding and development of future amine-grafted materials for efficient CO2 capture.

Abstract
Natural gas sweetening currently requires multistep, complex separation processes to remove the acid gas contaminants, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. In addition to being widely recognized as energy inefficient and cost-intensive, the effectiveness of this conventional process also suffers considerably because of limitations of the sorbent materials it employs. Herein, we report a new porous organic polymer, termed KFUPM-5, that is demonstrated to be effective in the concurrent separation of both hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from a mixed gas stream at ambient conditions. To understand the ability of KFUPM-5 to selectively capture these gas molecules, we performed both pure-component thermodynamic and mixed gas kinetic adsorption studies and correlated these results with theoretical molecular simulations. Our results show that the underlying polar backbone of KFUPM-5 provides favorable adsorption sites for the selective capture of these gas molecules. The outcome of this work lends credence to the prospect that, for the first time, porous organic polymers can serve as sorbents for industrial natural gas sweetening processes.

Abstract
The current work describes an attempt to synthesize hybrid materials combining porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) and dendrimers and use them to obtain novel highly active and selective palladium catalysts. PAFs are carbon porous materials with rigid aromatic structure and high stability, and the dendrimers are macromolecules which can effectively stabilize metal nanoparticles and tune their activity in catalytic reactions. Two porous aromatic frameworks, PAF-20 and PAF-30, are modified step-by-step with diethanolamine and hydroxyl groups at the ends of which are replaced by new diethanolamine molecules. Then, palladium nanoparticles are applied to the synthesized materials. Properties of the obtained materials and catalysts are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, low temperature N2 adsorption and elemental analysis. The resulting catalysts are successfully applied as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes at very high (up to 90,000) substrate/Pd ratios.

Abstract
Porous organic frameworks (POFs) with a heteroatom rich ionic backbone have emerged as advanced materials for catalysis, molecular separation, and antimicrobial applications. The loading of metal ions further enhances Lewis acidity, augmenting the activity associated with such frameworks. Metal-loaded ionic POFs, however, often suffer from physicochemical instability, thereby limiting their scope for diverse applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of triaminoguanidinium-based ionic POFs through Schiff base condensation in a cost-effective and scalable manner. The resultant N-rich ionic frameworks facilitate selective CO2 uptake and afford high metal (Zn(ii): 47.2%) loading capacity. Owing to the ionic guanidinium core and ZnO infused mesoporous frameworks, Zn/POFs showed pronounced catalytic activity in the cycloaddition of CO2 and epoxides into cyclic organic carbonates under solvent-free conditions with high catalyst recyclability. The synergistic effect of infused ZnO and cationic triaminoguanidinium frameworks in Zn/POFs led to robust antibacterial (Gram-positive, Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative, Escherichia coli) and antiviral activity targeting HIV-1 and VSV-G enveloped lentiviral particles. We thus present triaminoguanidinium-based POFs and Zn/POFs as a new class of multifunctional materials for environmental remediation and biomedical applications.

Abstract
The selective adsorption of CO2 in mixture with other greenhouse gases by porous materials is challenging and it has several consequences from the environmental and economic point of view. We carried out DFT calculations with periodic boundary conditions and plane waves basis set to better understand the adsorption of CO2, CO, CH4, N2, O2, and H2 within the pore of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) SIFSIX-2-Cu, SIFSIX-2-Cu-i, and SIFSIX-3-Cu. These porous materials have a copper ion coordinated to an organic linker and the inorganic SiF62- pillar, and they show a remarkable CO2 uptake. Our results show that the adsorption occurs preferentially close to the inorganic pillar SiF6, which polarizes the gas molecule, increasing the electrostatic contribution to the interaction. The adsorption strength correlates with the size of the pore, and it is stronger in the smaller porous of SIFSIX-3-Cu for all gases. The successive loading of CO2 in a T-shape form inside the porous indicates a synergic polarization effect, increasing the adsorption energy in SIFSIX-2-Cu and SIFSIX-2-Cu-i, but not in SIFSIX-3-Cu. For all materials, we observe the following order in the adsorption energy: CO2 > CH4 > CO > N2 > O2 > H2, suggesting that a thermodynamic separation could be possible; however, kinetic effects are also important in SIFSIX-3-Cu.

Abstract
Carbon capture and sequestration is a key element of global initiatives to minimize anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Although many investigations of new candidate CO2 capture materials focus on equilibrium adsorption properties, it is also critical to consider adsorption/desorption kinetics when evaluating adsorbent performance. Diamine-appended variants of the metal–organic framework Mg2(dobpdc) (dobpdc4− = 4,4′-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate) are promising materials for CO2 capture because of their cooperative chemisorption mechanism and associated step-shaped equilibrium isotherms, which enable large working capacities to be accessed with small temperature swings. However, the adsorption/desorption kinetics of these unique materials remain understudied. More generally, despite the necessity of kinetics characterization to advance adsorbents toward commercial separations, detailed kinetic studies of metal–organic framework-based gas separations remain rare. Here, we systematically investigate the CO2 adsorption kinetics of diamine-appended Mg2(dobpdc) variants using a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) assay. In particular, we examine the effects of diamine structure, temperature, and partial pressure on CO2 adsorption and desorption kinetics. Importantly, most diamine-appended Mg2(dobpdc) variants exhibit an induction period prior to reaching the maximum rate of CO2 adsorption, which we attribute to their unique cooperative chemisorption mechanism. In addition, these materials exhibit inverse Arrhenius behavior, displaying faster adsorption kinetics and shorter induction periods at lower temperatures. Using the Avrami model for nucleation and growth kinetics, we determine rate constants for CO2 adsorption and quantitatively compare rate constants among different diamine-appended variants. Overall, these results provide guidelines for optimizing adsorbent design to facilitate CO2 capture from diverse target streams and highlight kinetic phenomena relevant for other materials in which cooperative chemisorption mechanisms are operative. An in-depth investigation of the CO2 adsorption kinetics of a promising class of cooperative carbon capture materials offers new insight into their structure-performance properties.![]()

Lithium-ion batteries have remained a state-of-the-art electrochemical energy storage technology for decades now, but their energy densities are limited by electrode materials and conventional liquid electrolytes can pose significant safety concerns. Lithium metal batteries featuring Li metal anodes, solid polymer electrolytes, and high-voltage cathodes represent promising candidates for next-generation devices exhibiting improved power and safety, but such solid polymer electrolytes generally do not exhibit the required excellent electrochemical properties and thermal stability in tandem. Here, an interpenetrating network polymer with weakly coordinating anion nodes that functions as a high-performing single-ion conducting electrolyte in the presence of minimal plasticizer, with a wide electrochemical stability window, a high room-temperature conductivity of 1.5 × 10-4 S cm-1 , and exceptional selectivity for Li-ion conduction (tLi+ = 0.95) is reported. Importantly, this material is also flame retardant and highly stable in contact with lithium metal. Significantly, a lithium metal battery prototype containing this quasi-solid electrolyte is shown to outperform a conventional battery featuring a polymer electrolyte.
