Project description
Porous organic cages for covalent organic framework porosity
Rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) pose a threat to global climate stability. CO2 retains heat in the long term, while CH4 is over 25 times more potent than CO2 in warming the atmosphere over a century. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the POCOF-CO2 project will transform covalent organic frameworks (COFs) by using porous organic cages (POCs) as monomeric units. These POCs will enhance the porosity, stability, and catalytic efficiency of COFs, thereby improving their gas capture capabilities. The project will simplify production and strengthen the stability of POCs compared to traditional methods through a one-pot multicomponent reaction, thereby increasing chemical stability and yield.
Objective
The escalating atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) pose a critical threat to global climate stability, with CO2 contributing to prolonged thermal retention and CH4 exhibiting over 25 times the global warming potential of CO2 on a per-molecule basis over a century. To address these pressing challenges, the POCOF-CO2 project aims to revolutionize Covalent Organic Framework (COF) through the integration of Porous Organic Cages (POCs) as monomeric units. The project hypothesizes that POCs, with their precisely engineered cavities and functional groups, will significantly enhance the porosity, stability, and catalytic efficiency of COFs, thereby optimizing their gas capture capabilities. The project aims to optimize POC synthesis through a streamlined one-pot multicomponent reaction to enhance chemical stability and yield, integrate these POCs into COFs to improve structural diversity, stability, and scalability, and rigorously evaluate the COFs for CO2 capture and CO2/CH4 separation using advanced analytical techniques such as temperature-programmed desorption and sophisticated spectroscopy. The innovative one-pot MCR approach not only enhances POC stability but also simplifies production processes compared to conventional multi-step methodologies. This integration of MCR-derived POCs into COFs establishes a new benchmark in COF technology, offering unprecedented stability and performance. Advanced characterization techniques will deliver in-depth mechanistic insights into CO2 capture, addressing existing limitations and pushing the boundaries of COF research. The POCOF-CO2 project represents a significant leap forward in material science and environmental technology, contributing to global climate mitigation efforts and providing transformative applications in catalysis, energy storage and environmental remediation.
