ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the preparation, characterization, and applications of Covalent organic polymers (COPs) for CO2 capture and separation under various pressure and temperature conditions. It explores the high-pressure adsorption/desorption of COPs, which might be useful in the selection of materials for further investigation on a large scale. COPs are interesting materials, which can be synthesized via simple procedure, and their physical properties can be engineered for gas storage, catalysis, photonics, and water purification through appropriate linkers. COPs are known to have permanent porous structure with various pore sizes ranging from nanometer scale up to macrometer scale depending on whether the molecular arrangement is amorphous or crystalline. Porous polymers network have been recently familiarized as mechanically robust and thermally stable, which can tolerate temperature of exhaust fumes, and economically suitable candidates and less expensive than other solid materials.
