Abstract
A series of novel triazine-containing pore-tunable carbon materials (NT-POP@800-1-6), which was synthesized via pyrolysis of porous organic polymers (POPs) without any templates. NT-POP@800-1-6 possess moderate BET surface areas of 475-736 m(2) g(-1), have permanent porosity and plenty of nitrogen units in the skeletons as effective sorption sites, and display relatively rapid guest uptake of 56-192 wt% in iodine vapour in the first 4 h. In addition, all the samples exhibit the outstanding CO(2) adsorption capacity of 2.83-3.96 mmol g(-1) at 273 K and 1.05 bar. Furthermore, NT-POP@800-1-6 show good selectivity ratios of 21.2-36.9 and 3.3-7.5 for CO(2)/N(2) or CH(4)/N(2), respectively. We believe that our new building block design provides a general strategy for the construction of triazine-containing carbon materials from various extended building blocks, thereby greatly expanding the range of applicable molecules.
