Abstract

The ability to develop advanced highly porous storage and separating agents with the requisite properties, affording exceptional gravimetric CH4uptake and aromatics combined with non-competitive adsorption of water vapor, is of prime importance. Successful future implementation of these disruptive adsorptive technologies offers great potential to address various United Nations sustainable development goals pertaining to clean, reliable, and sustainable energy and prosperous health. Herein, we unveil three highly porous organic frameworks, KPOP-1, KPOP-2, and KPOP-3 (KPOP stands for KAUST's porous organic polymer), which display outstanding properties for CH4 storage and the capture of volatile organic compounds to address many critical societal and industrial challenges.​
