Multifunctional porous organic polymers embedded with magnetic nanoparticles

Abstract

Multifunctional hybrid polycarbazoles were prepared with a novel core–spacer–shell structure. Magnetism, a conjugated system and an ultramicroporous structure are combined in one bulk material. SEM and TEM images show the obvious core@shell structure in the nano-region. Nitrogen gas sorption, magnetic and surface wettability analyses indicate the multifunctionality of the obtained materials. Their high efficiency dynamic adsorption (water treatment) and static separation (CH₄/CO₂ gas selectivity) allow these novel materials to be employed as facile tools for environmental treatment and in energy storage fields.
