Bipyridine-based conjugated microporous polymers for boosted photocatalytic U(vi) separation†
Abstract
Incorporating bipyridine units into the matrix of conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) boosts exciton dissociation, charge separation, and oxidation capacity. Consequently, the bipyridine-modified CMPs exhibit an impressive U(VI) separation rate (404 μmol g−1 h−1) under sacrificial agent-free conditions, outperforming the results of its counterparts without bipyridine units and other documented CMPs.
