Abstract
En 中文
In this article, we report a series of functionalized polyacetylene-type networks formed by chain-growth insertion coordination polymerization in high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). All polymerized HIPEs (polyHIPEs) contain a hierarchically structured, 3D-interconnected porous framework consisting of a micro-, meso- and macropore system, resulting in exceptionally high specific surface areas (up to 1055 m(2)center dot g(-1)) and total porosities of over 95%. The combination of pi-conjugated and hierarchically porous structure in one material enabled the use of these polyacetylene polyHIPEs as adsorptive photocatalysts for the removal of chemical contaminants from water. All polyacetylene polyHIPEs demonstrated high efficiency in the adsorption of bisphenol A from water (up to 48%) and the subsequent photocatalytic degradation. Surprisingly, high adsorption capacity did not affect the photocatalytic efficiency (up to 58%). On the contrary, this dual function seems to be very promising, as some polyacetylene polyHIPEs almost completely removed bisphenol A from water (97%) through the adsorption-photooxidation mechanism. It also appears that the presence of polar functional side groups in the polyacetylene backbone improves the contact of the polyacetylene network with the aqueous bisphenol A solution, which can thus be more easily adsorbed and subsequently oxidized, compensating for the lower specific surface area of some networks, namely, 471 and 308 m(2)center dot g(-1) in the case of 3-ethynylphenol- and 3-ethynylaniline-based polyacetylene polyHIPEs, respectively.
