摘要

Hyper-crosslinked microporous polycarbazole was synthesized by polymerizing carbazole with dimethoxymethane as a bridging agent, without using templates. Furthermore, it was directly carbonized by chemical activation using potassium carbonate to enhance the surface area of the porous polymer. The product was then characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, proving the formation of porous polymers with good surface areas of 230 and 1210 m2 g–1. Applied as an electrode material in a supercapacitor and a dye adsorption study, the carbonized polymer showed good specific capacitance of 215 (F/g) at 0.5 (A/g) and maximum adsorption capacity of 30.58 mg/g.
