Effect of Diaminopropane on Formation of Triazine-based Covalent Organic Polymer for CO2 Capture

Polyamine triazine based Covalent Organic Polymer (COP) was synthesized using catalyst free polycondensation method, called Covalent Diamino Polymer (CDAP). 1,3-diaminopropane was selected as the organic linker and the CO2 adsorption capacity was studied. CDAP was characterized with Fourier Transform Infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and N2 adsorption desorption measurement. A comparison of the characteristics and CO2 adsorption capacity was made between COP-1 and CDAP. This study found that the structure of organic linkers greatly influences the properties of organic polymer as well as the CO2 uptake capability.
