Summary:The creation of ultrahigh surface area materials are of great interest in academia and industry. In recent years, porous aromatic frameworks (PAF) were discovered and their porosity and properties were also explored. They are characterized by a rigid aromatic open-framework structure constructed by covalent bonds. The building block design, network formation method and relationship between functions and secondary building units were compiled in this highlight. In addition, advantages and challenges of predicted PAF derivatives were also discussed. The creation of ultrahigh surface area materials are of great interest in academia and industry.
Bibliography:Shilun Qiu received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Jilin University, China, in 1988. He joined the University De Haute-Alsace, France, and Hokkaido University Sapporo, Japan, for postdoctoral research. In 1994, he was promoted to be a full professor in the Department of Chemistry, Jilin University. He won the Second Grade Award for the State Natural Science Award of China in 2008. His recent research interests focus on the studies of molecular engineering, synthesis and catalysis of micro- and mesoporous materials, rational synthesis and hydrogen storage of porous organic framework materials and host-guest chemistry, in particular, nano-composites in porous materials.
Teng Ben received his PhD in 2002 from Jilin University, China, on polymer science. After graduation, he joined the faculty at Jilin University, working with Prof. Zhongwen Wu as Lecturer. In 2005, he moved to a research group, led by Prof. Eiji Yashima, at Nagoya University in Japan as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2008, he moved back to Jilin University as an Associate Professor and was promoted to Professor in 2010. His research interests include the fundamental understanding of host-guest interactions in nanoporous materials, gas storage and separation using porous organic frameworks.
