Imidazolium salt-modified porous hypercrosslinked polymers for synergistic CO2 capture and conversion†
Abstract
A new type of imidazolium salt-modified porous hypercrosslinked polymer (BET surface area up to 926 m2 g−1) was reported. These porous materials exhibited good CO2 capture capacities (14.5 wt%) and catalytic activities for the conversion of CO2 into various cyclic carbonates under metal-free conditions. The synergistic effect of CO2 capture and conversion was observed.
