To address the issue of global warming and climate change issues, recent research efforts have highlighted opportunities for capturing and electrochemically converting carbon dioxide (CO2). Despite metal doped polymers receiving widespread attention in this respect, the structures hitherto reported lack in ease of synthesis with scale up feasibility. In this study, a series of mesoporous metal-doped polymers (MRFs) with tunable metal functionality and hierarchical porosity were successfully synthesized using a one-step copolymerization of resorcinol and formaldehyde with Polyethyleneimine (PEI) under solvothermal conditions. The effect of PEI and metal doping concentrations were observed on physical properties and adsorption results. The results confirmed the role of PEI on the mesoporosity of the polymer networks and high surface area in addition to enhanced CO2 capture capacity. The resulting Cobalt doped material shows excellent thermal stability and promising CO2 capture performance, with equilibrium adsorption of 2.3 mmol CO2/g at 0 °C and 1 bar for at a surface area 675.62 m2/g. This mesoporous polymer, with its ease of synthesis is a promising candidate for promising for CO2 capture and possible subsequent electrochemical conversion.

Mesoporous carbons (with up to 95% of pore volume from mesopores) with surface area and pore volume of ∼4000 m2 g−1 and ∼3.6 cm3 g−1, respectively, are excellent CO2 absorbers under pre combustion conditions and can store 55 mmol g−1 (i.e., 2.42 g g−1) or 930 g l−1 at 25 °C and 50 bar.

In this work, mesoporous ZnCo2O4 electrode material with necklace-type nanowires was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method using water/ethylene glycol mixed solvent and subsequent calcination treatment. The ZnCo2O4 nanowires were assembled by several tiny building blocks of nanoparticles which led to the growth of necklace-type nanowires. The as-synthesized ZnCo2O4 nanowires had porous structures with a high surface area of 25.33 m2 g−1 and with an average mesopore of 23.13 nm. Due to the higher surface area and mesopores, the as-prepared necklace-type ZnCo2O4 nanowires delivered a high specific capacity of 439.6 C g−1 (1099 F g−1) at a current density of 1 A g−1, decent rate performance (47.31% retention at 20 A g−1), and good cyclic stability (84.82 % capacity retention after 5000 cycles). Moreover, a hybrid supercapacitor was fabricated with ZnCo2O4 nanowires as a positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as a negative electrode (ZnCo2O4 nanowires//AC), which delivered an energy density of 41.87 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 800 W kg−1. The high electrochemical performance and excellent stability of the necklace-type ZnCo2O4 nanowires relate to their unique architecture, high surface area, mesoporous nature, and the synergistic effect between Zn and Co metals.
