The increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration has led to global warming and climate change, highlighting the need for effective adsorbents and catalysts for CO2 capture and fixation. In this study, a new porous cross-linked organic polymer DAT-1 was synthesized, exhibiting high CO2 capture capacity and excellent catalytic activity for CO2 conversion to reactive organics.
The steady increase in the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere is causing serious environmental threats like global warming and climate change. Thus to mitigate this issue, suitable adsorbent cum catalyst for high CO2 capture and its fixation to reactive organics is very much essential. In this context, we have synthesized a new porous cross-linked organic polymer DAT-1 through the radical polymerization of divinylbenzene, triallylamine and 2,4,6-tris(allyloxy)- 1,3,5-triazine. DAT-1 possesses high degree of flexibility, with exceptionally large BET surface area (1105 m 2 g(-1)) along with bimodal porosity. Furthermore, due to the presence of triazine unit along with tertiary amine moieties inside the porous architecture of DAT-1 with very rich in basic N-sites could make it as an excellent adsorbent for the unprecedented CO2 capture (73.3 mmol g(-1) at 30 bar pressure / 273 K). Further, it exhibits excellent catalytic activity for the conversion of simple terminal epoxides to bio-derived sterically hindered epoxides to cyclic carbonate by utilizing carbon dioxide as Cl resource. Basicity associated with N-rich sites at the surface of the high surface area porous organic polymer is responsible for record CO2 capture and its excellent catalytic activity for the CO2 fixation on epoxides for the synthesis of value added cyclic carbonates.
