Ultrahigh volatile iodine uptake by hollow microspheres formed from a heteropore covalent organic framework

Abstract

We herein report the construction of a new heteropore COF which consists of two different kinds of micropores with unprecedented shapes. It exists as hollow microspheres and exhibits an extremely high volatile iodine uptake (up to 481 wt%) by encapsulating iodine in the inner cavities and porous shells of the microspheres.
