Porous polymer networks for selective CO 2 adsorption Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) is becoming an increasingly important topic of research as anthropogenic emissions continue to grow. A class of materials for selective CO 2 sorption that is receiving much of the attention, Porous Polymer Networks (PPN), are promising candidates to help solve this problem because of the high storage capacities and low regeneration costs due to the physisorptive nature of the gas uptake. A series of PPNs, showing extraordinarily high gas uptake, surface areas, and thermal stabilities will be presented. Additionally, functionalized PPNs designed to enhance CO 2 sepcific interactions will be discussed in detail. The added merits of high thermal and chemical stability, low production costs and ability to modify the polymer post synthetically, have allowed us to achieve high CO 2 selectivities over CCS related gases, primarily H 2 and CH 4.
