Department of Energy EngineeringThe synthesis of carbon-based heteroatom doped materials attracted many interests as well as its unique, extraordinary and controllable chemical/physical properties which can drive their infinite potential applications. Extended synthetic approaches for new materials allows that improve processability and performance to utilize its own superiority to the maximum. In here, research overview and objective carried out during my master???s degree, will be discussed.
The dissertation consists of mainly two chapters: 1) Design and synthesis of two-dimensional sheet-like BBL structure (2D-BBLs). The 2D-BBLs were successfully synthesized via double condensation reaction of amine and between amine (-NH2) and mellitic trianhydride (MTA) in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) medium. The strategy to extend conjugated ladder polymer into two-dimension by using the effective condensation reaction have the possibility to utilize rigid ladder polymer with tailored properties for future applications. 2) Synthesis of triphenylene-based covalent triazine networks (sTP-CTNs) in the presence of gaseous catalyst, HCl, via solid-state reaction. Compared with conventional synthetic approaches to form triazine-based materials, there are some advantages such as clean and efficient work-up process, solvent-free mild reaction conditions.clos
