Abstract

Microporous polycarbazole via straightforward carbazole-based oxidative coupling polymerization is reported. The synthesis route exhibits cost-effective advantages, which are essential for scale-up preparation. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area for obtained polymer is up to 2220 m 2 g -1. Gas (H 2 and CO 2) adsorption isotherms show that its hydrogen storage can reach to 2.80 wt % (1.0 bar and 77 K) and the uptake capacity for carbon dioxide is up to 21.2 wt % (1.0 bar and 273 K), which show a promising potential for clean energy application and environmental field. Furthermore, the high selectivity toward CO 2 over N 2 and CH 4 makes the obtained polymer possess potential application in gas separation.
