Facile preparation and ultra-microporous structure of melamine–resorcinol–formaldehyde polymeric microspheres

Abstract

A facile hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize nitrogen-rich phenolic microspheres with a tunable ultra-microporous structure for CO(2) adsorption. The results highlighted that chemical composition and ultramicroporous size, much more than surface area, dictated the CO(2) uptake in a microporous organic polymer.
