摘要

Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have demonstrated significant potential for gas separation due to their permanent microporosity, high adsorption capacity, and exceptional chemical robustness. However, the scalable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly synthesis of CMPs as an alternative to energy-intensive traditional solvothermal methods remains underexplored. Herein, we present a solvent-free, flux synthesis method for constructing olefin-linked amorphous CMPs (NKCMP-1 and NKCMP-2) through Knoevenagel condensation of 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine with linear aromatic aldehydes. This method surpasses ionothermal and mechanochemical routes in terms of scalability and product uniformity. Notably, NKCMP-1 can be synthesized on a kilogram scale (0.54 kg) while maintaining structural integrity, high surface area and a uniform microporous architecture. Both NKCMP-1 and NKCMP-2 exhibit outstanding C2H2/CO2 selectivity and cyclic stability under ambient conditions, as confirmed by dynamic breakthrough experiments. These features make the developed CMPs highly promising for real-world industrial gas purification applications.
