Fabrication of conjugated microporous polytriazine nanotubes and nanospheres for highly selective CO2 capture

Abstract

A one-spot template approach for fabricating porous organic nanotubes was developed and a molecular design, i.e. introducing thiophene and s-triazine functionalities to enhance host–guest interactions, lead to novel porous solids with high capacities for CO₂ and exceptionally high ideal selectivities over N₂ for effective gas storage and separation.
