Template-Free Synthesis of a Highly Porous Benzimidazole-Linked Polymer for CO₂ Capture and H₂ Storage

Abstract

A highly porous benzimidazole-linked polymer (SABET 1172 m2/g) exhibits very high gas selectivity CO2/N2 (70) and CO2/CH4 (10) and can store CO2 (19 wt %, 273 K, 1 bar) and H2 (1.9 wt %, 77 K, 1 bar) with Qst values of 26.7 and 7.9 kJ/mol, respectively.
