Pure porous polymers promise cleaners and energy solutions

Differences between methods of synthesis of POP in this study and previous studies. Credit: Small (2025). doi:10.1002/smll.202410794 A group of researchers at Tohoku University has developed a method for synthesizing special types of polymers with applications to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Details are available on Small. Porous organic polymers (POPs) are like sponges. Their high porosity allows them to absorb…
