In this study, we successfully synthesized two types of meso/microporous carbon materials through the carbonization and potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation for two different kinds of hyper-crosslinked polymers of TPE-CPOP1 and TPE-CPOP2, which were synthesized by using Friedel–Crafts reaction of tetraphenylethene (TPE) monomer with or without cyanuric chloride in the presence of AlCl3 as a catalyst. The resultant porous carbon materials exhibited the high specific area (up to 1100 m2 g−1), total pore volume, good thermal stability, and amorphous character based on thermogravimetric (TGA), N2 adsoprtion/desorption, and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses. The as-prepared TPE-CPOP1 after thermal treatment at 800 °C (TPE-CPOP1-800) displayed excellent CO2 uptake performance (1.74 mmol g−1 at 298 K and 3.19 mmol g−1 at 273 K). Furthermore, this material possesses a high specific capacitance of 453 F g−1 at 5 mV s−1 comparable to others porous carbon materials with excellent columbic efficiencies for 10,000 cycle at 20 A g−1.

2,2’-Bipyridine with strong coordination ability for metal ions was used to prepare N-doped porous carbon materials by a facile method of solution agitation and annealing, with KOH as the activated solvent. Applied to supercapacitors, these porous carbon materials exhibit high specific capacitance and outstanding rate performance, which are attributed to their larger specific surface area, richer pore structure, and N-doping after KOH activation, leading to fast electron transport and increased ion storage in the unique architecture.

Nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) materials were successfully synthesized via a Zn-containing metal-organic framework (Zn-MOF). The resulting NPC materials are characterized using various physicochemical techniques which indicated that the NPC materials obtained at different carbonization temperatures exhibited different properties. Pristine MOF morphology and pore size are retained after carbonization at particular temperatures (600 °C-NPC600 and 800 °C-NPC800). NPC800 material shows an excellent surface area 1192 m2/g, total pore volume 0.92 cm3/g and displays a higher CO2 uptake 4.71 mmol/g at 273 k and 1 bar. Furthermore, NPC600 material displays good electrochemical sensing towards H2O2. Under optimized conditions, our sensor exhibited a wide linearity range between 100 µM and 10 mM with a detection limit of 27.5 µM.
