Global warming, primarily driven by carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, necessitates the development of efficient CO2 capture and utilization technologies. Porous organic polymers (POPs) have attracted significant attention due to their high surface areas, superior CO2 adsorption capacities, and catalytic conversion properties. Nevertheless, the high cost of many POPs limits their industrial scalability. In this study, we report the successful synthesis of three cost-effective POPs—CBPOP, CNPOP, and CAPOP—using cyanuric chloride as the linker and three distinct aromatic cores (benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene, respectively). The resulting POPs exhibit robust aromatic character, high basicity, and well-developed network structures with significant porosity, which together confer excellent thermal stability, high CO2 adsorption capacities, and outstanding CO2/N2 selectivity. Notably, CBPOP demonstrates the highest CO2 uptake and selectivity, with adsorption behavior that is well described by the Single-Site Langmuir Model. Selectivity tests at 298 K and 323 K further confirm a strong preference for CO2 over N2—an essential feature for practical post-combustion carbon capture applications. In addition, all POPs effectively catalyze the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides, yielding the corresponding cyclic carbonates with high efficiency. These results highlight the promise of CBPOP, CNPOP, and CAPOP as cost-effective POPs for selective and efficient CO2 capture and conversion.
