Summary: Two aniline-based hypercrosslinked polymers (AHCP-1 and AHCP-2) were synthesized for iodine capture in both aqueous and gaseous phases. AHCP-1 showed record-high static iodine adsorption in aqueous solution, while AHCP-2 exhibited excellent total iodine capture in iodine vapor adsorption. These polymers can be potential candidates for removing iodine from radioactive wastewater and gas mixtures.

Summary: A three-dimensional rigid six-connected porous triptycene network was successfully synthesized using triptycenes as connectors and Tro''ger's base as linkers. The network exhibits a high surface area (1528m² g⁻¹), nitrogen-enriched groups, and superior thermal stability, leading to a high CO₂ uptake of 22.3 wt % (273 K, 1 bar) and excellent iodine vapor adsorption of 240 wt %.

Summary: The synthesis of fluorenone based hypercrosslinked porous copolymers using biphenyl and naphthalene as comonomers is effective for carbon dioxide capture applications. Despite moderate surface areas, these polymers exhibit good CO2 capture capability and high thermal and chemical stability. A specific copolymer, PFNCA, shows high CO2 uptake despite its relatively low surface area and pore volume.

Summary: The research on fabrication of functionalized hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) with high specific surface area for gas storage has gained significant interest. By utilizing a solvent knitting strategy, cyano-functional HCPs were fabricated via one step Friedel-Crafts reaction, showing high BET surface area. These HCPs, especially HCP-TPB-CN-3:1, demonstrate high surface area and potential for CO2 and CH4 capture.

Summary: Water pollution is a global issue that seriously threatens the health of living beings. In this study, a multifunctional porous polymer, Fc-PP-POP, was successfully prepared, which exhibited enhanced antibacterial effect and iodine pollutant capture. This polymer combined the photoactivity of porphyrin with the enzymatic activity of ferrocene, enabling efficient conversion of light energy into thermal energy for photothermal therapy and transformation of low concentration H2O2 into toxic hydroxyl radicals for enzyme therapy. In addition, Fc-PP-POP promoted wound healing and efficiently adsorbed iodine contaminants from the environment.
