Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer porous materials are a class of emerging porous network materials, which are fabricated via strong covalent bonds between diverse building blocks with different structures and functionalities. Polymer porous materials are generally divided into two categories based on their degree of long-range order, including crystalline (e.g., COFs) and amorphous (HCPs, CMPs, PIMs, PAFs, etc.). Due to their large specific surface area, tunable porosity, strong designability, light weight, facile functionalization, and excellent chemical stability, polymer porous materials have received an increasing level of research interest in many important technological applications, such as sorption/separation, energy storage, cancer therapy, photoelectric conversion, chemical- and bio-sensing, optical devices, catalysis, and so on.

This Special Issue aims to deliver new insights and report on recent progress in the synthesis, characterization, and application of polymer porous materials. Authors are welcome to submit their latest results in the form of original full articles, communications, or reviews on this broad topic.

A Fe-N conjugated organic polymer (SMP-Fr-Py) was prepared from ferrocene and pyrrole using a Scholl coupling reaction, which significantly improved the performance of Cr(VI) removal compared to the polymer (HCP-Fr-Py) prepared by adding the cross-linker formaldehyde dimethyl acetal (FDA). The results showed that at a pH of 2 and at 25 °C, the removal of Cr(VI) reached 90% for SMP-Fr-Py and only 58% for HCP-Fr-Py after 20 min of reaction. Subsequently, 99% and 78% were achieved after 120 min of reaction, respectively. The test results showed that the removal reaction followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The removal efficiency decreased with increasing solution pH and initial Cr(VI) concentration, but increased with increasing SMP-Fr-Py dosage, reaching three cycles. The characterization of the reaction complexes and measurements of Cr species conversion revealed the near absence of Cr(VI) species in the solution. Approximately 38% of Cr(VI) was found to be adsorbed on the material surface, with another fraction present in solution (24%) and on the material surface (38%) in the form of Cr(III). The overall study showed that the direct connection of ferrocene and pyrrole in SMP-Fr-Py through C-C bonding increased the conjugated structure of the polymer backbone, which facilitated electron transfer and transport. Furthermore, the Fe-N elements worked synergistically with each other more easily, which improved the removal performance of Cr(VI) and provided a reference for the subsequent work. Full article
