Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The topic of this special issue is "Design, Structural Analysis and Application of Porous Hybrid Materials ". In recent years, the catalytic applications of porous materials, such as MOFs, COFs, POPs materials, have grown exponentially due to their excellent properties such as high surface area, high porosity, chemical versatility, and customizable catalytic active site design. To improve the mechanical, thermal or chemical stability under reaction conditions, hybrid forms of porous materials with other materials (e.g. nanoparticles, molecular catalysts, polymers, etc.) are developing at a very fast rate, as the catalytic activity of the parent material can be significantly enhanced by a rational design of the hybrid materials. Therefore, a compilation of the latest advances in this field is useful for authors and readers interested in this topic. This special issue aims to cover the latest and emerging strategies for the design, structure analysis and catalytic applications of porous hybrids materials based on COFs, MOFs, POPs, focusing on the features that drive current and future research, from the design, synthesis, and structural characterization of hybrid materials to their application in environmental, chemical or energy-related catalysis or other related chemical transformations. For authors, this issue will be a great opportunity to publish their original research following peer review by expert researchers in porous hybrid materials and catalytic sustainable chemistry. We also strongly encourage experts in such research fields to submit review articles for publication in this special issue.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Porous hybrid materials synthesis; Metal-organic frameworks; Covalent-organic frameworks; Supramolecular chemistry or Guest/host interaction; Porous-organic frameworks; Structral characterization of porous hybrid materials.

Abstract
We have successfully synthesized two types of two-dimensional conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), Py-BSU and TBN-BSU CMPs, by using the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of BSU-Br2 (2,8-Dibromothianthrene-5,5′,10,10′-Tetraoxide) with Py-T (1,3,6,8-Tetraethynylpyrene) and TBN-T (2,7,10,15-Tetraethynyldibenzo[g,p]chrysene), respectively. We characterized the chemical structure, morphology, physical properties, and potential [...] Read more.
We have successfully synthesized two types of two-dimensional conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), Py-BSU and TBN-BSU CMPs, by using the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of BSU-Br2 (2,8-Dibromothianthrene-5,5′,10,10′-Tetraoxide) with Py-T (1,3,6,8-Tetraethynylpyrene) and TBN-T (2,7,10,15-Tetraethynyldibenzo[g,p]chrysene), respectively. We characterized the chemical structure, morphology, physical properties, and potential applications of these materials using various analytical instruments. Both Py-BSU and TBN-BSU CMPs showed high thermal stability with thermal decomposition temperatures (Td10) up to 371 °C and char yields close to 48 wt%, as determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). TBN-BSU CMPs exhibited a higher specific surface area and porosity of 391 m2 g−1 and 0.30 cm3 g−1, respectively, due to their large micropore and mesopore structure. These CMPs with extended π-conjugated frameworks and high surface areas are promising organic electroactive materials that can be used as electrode materials for supercapacitors (SCs) and gas adsorption. Our experimental results demonstrated that the TBN-BSU CMP electrode had better electrochemical characteristics with a longer discharge time course and a specific capacitance of 70 F g−1. Additionally, the electrode exhibited an excellent capacitance retention rate of 99.9% in the 2000-cycle stability test. The CO2 uptake capacity of TBN-BSU CMP and Py-BSU CMP were 1.60 and 1.45 mmol g−1, respectively, at 298 K and 1 bar. These results indicate that the BSU-based CMPs synthesized in this study have potential applications in electrical testing and CO2 capture. Full article
