Novel ferrocene-based nanoporous organic polymers for clean energy application†
Abstract
A novel ferrocene-based nanoporous organic polymer (FNOPs-1) for clean energy application has been prepared by coupling 1,1′-ferrocene-dicarboxaldehyde with melamine. The BET surface area and the total pore volume of FNOPs-1 are 752.4 m2 g−1 and 1.32 cm3 g−1, respectively. FNOPs-1 exhibits excellent gas storage capacities such as 16.61 wt% of carbon dioxide, 3.48 wt% of methane, and 1.27 wt% of hydrogen at 273 K/1.0 bar.
