Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Porous organic polymers are investigated for gas adsorption applications.
  • Developing efficient and cost-effective synthesis methods for these materials is crucial.
  • Polyimide-based materials offer potential due to their inherent stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize mesoporous polyimide aerogels functionalized with carboxyl groups.
  • To evaluate the thermal stability and CO2 adsorption properties of the synthesized aerogels.
  • To assess the suitability of these aerogels for carbon dioxide capture.

Main Methods:

  • Co-polymerization of pyromellitic dianhydride with specific diamines and diaminobenzoic acid at room temperature.
  • Characterization of aerogel properties including thermal decomposition temperature and specific surface area.
  • Measurement of CO2 adsorption capacity at relevant conditions.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of mesoporous polyimide aerogels with carboxyl groups via a facile co-polymerization method.
  • The synthesized aerogels demonstrate high thermal stability with decomposition temperatures above 400 °C.
  • A maximum CO2 adsorption capacity of 11.9 cm³/g was achieved, attributed to abundant carboxyl groups.

Conclusions:

  • The developed polyimide aerogels offer a simple and efficient synthesis route compared to existing porous organic polymers.
  • Despite a moderate surface area, the aerogels exhibit considerable CO2 adsorption capacity, comparable to other porous materials.
  • The carboxyl-functionalized polyimide aerogels are identified as promising candidates for CO2 adsorption applications due to their properties and synthesis ease.
