Hierarchically Porous Polyacetylene Networks: Adsorptive Photocatalysts for Efficient Bisphenol A Removal from Water.

ABSTRACT: In this article, we report a series of functionalized polyacetylene-type networks formed by chain-growth insertion coordination polymerization in high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). All polymerized HIPEs (polyHIPEs) contain a hierarchically structured, 3D-interconnected porous framework consisting of a micro-, meso- and macropore system, resulting in exceptionally high specific surface areas (up to 1055 m²·g^-1) and total porosities of over 95%. The combination of π-conjugated and hierarchically porous structure in one material enabled the use of these polyacetylene polyHIPEs as adsorptive photocatalysts for the removal of chemical contaminants from water. All polyacetylene polyHIPEs demonstrated high efficiency in the adsorption of bisphenol A from water (up to 48%
