Abstract

Porous highly cross-linked polymer (PIP) was synthesized by a polycondensation reaction between hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and piperazine. The obtained polymer has a surface area of 76.9 m2/g and a mesoporous structure. After carbonization, the obtained product (PIP-C) has a surface area of 177 m2/g. The obtained carbon product contained nitrogen and phosphorus heteroatoms, which leads to a higher specific capacitance (155.6 F/g) and catalytical activity in the electroreduction of oxygen (15.9 A/g). This work shows the possibility of the use of such porous phosphazene polymers as precursors for heteroatom-doped carbon materials, which might be used in electrochemical devices like electrodes for supercapacitors or metal-free electrocatalysts in fuel cells.
