Porous poly(ionic liquid)s for CO2 capture and simultaneous conversion under ambient conditions
CO2 capture, storage and utilization is judged critical to mitigate the rapid rise in the atmospheric CO2 concentration. A key problem is the gigantic mass of CO2 emitted, which asks for robust, efficient and economically viable approaches that are currently missing and limited by the lack of suitable materials. To break through this barrier, I aim to develop metal-free dual-function porous poly(ionic liquid)s (DPPs) to capture and convert CO2 under ambient conditions into cyclic carbonates with high efficiency, and to apply them in model reactors for cost-effective processing of CO2. Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) are innovative ionic materials, in which ionic liquids (ILs) are covalently…
