One-step assembly of a hierarchically porous phenolic resin-type polymer with high stability for CO2 capture and conversion.

A hierarchically porous phenolic resin-type polymer has been successfully prepared by a solvothermal reaction. Given the relatively high surface area, hierarchical pores, good stability and abundant -OH reactive groups, this polymer exhibits high CO2 adsorption and efficient catalytic conversion for CO2 cycloaddition.
