AI Technical Summary
Existing catalysts, such as metal complexes, ionic liquids, and traditional inorganic solid catalysts, suffer from problems such as metal loss, high cost, high viscosity, few active sites, and environmental pollution in carbon dioxide cycloaddition reactions.

This method avoids the Friedel-Crafts reaction, and the preparation process is simple, environmentally friendly, and produces a permanent porous structure with a large specific surface area.
The prepared ionic crosslinked porous polyimide polymer has precise chloride ion active sites and a large specific surface area, which improves catalytic performance and adsorption capture performance. The reactants are in full contact with the active sites, which significantly improves the efficiency and selectivity of carbon dioxide cycloaddition reaction.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically relating to an ion-crosslinked porous polyimide polymer, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0003] Currently, catalysts used for this reaction, such as metal complexes, ionic liquids, and traditional inorganic solids, each have their own drawbacks. Metal complex catalysts suffer from problems such as easy metal loss, high cost, and difficulty in recovery; ionic liquid catalysts have high viscosity, complex synthesis, and high cost; and traditional inorganic solid catalysts have few active sites and require harsh reaction conditions.
[0004] In existing technologies, porous organic polymer materials capable of carbon dioxide cycloaddition include metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), polyionic liquids (PILs), and ionic porous organic polymers (HCPs). Compared to other types of polymeric organic materials, ionic porous organic polymer (HCP) catalysts have advantages such as simple preparation, low cost, and readily available starting materials. Furthermore, the preparation of HCPs involves direct synthesis via the Friedel-Crafts reaction, eliminating the need for noble metal coupling catalysts or specific functionalized building blocks. However, the Friedel-Crafts reaction involves alkylation of the reactants, a process using highly corrosive AlCl3, which generates HCl waste gas and large amounts of acidic waste liquid, potentially causing environmental pollution. Therefore, this application proposes a method for preparing ionic crosslinked porous polyimide polymers without the Friedel-Crafts reaction, along with its preparation method. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, and to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an ionic crosslinked porous polyimide polymer, its preparation method, and its application. First, using 5-amino-2-(4-aminophenyl)benzimidazole and hexafluorodianhydride as raw materials, acetic anhydride as a dehydrating agent, and pyridine as a catalyst to promote dehydration, an ionic linear polymer is obtained through an oil bath reaction under nitrogen protection. Then, using the ionic linear polymer as a raw material and 1,4-dichlorobenzyl as a crosslinking agent, an ionic crosslinked porous polyimide polymer is prepared via a quaternization method. The entire process does not require a Friedel-Crafts reaction, and the obtained polymer has a permanent porous structure and a large specific surface area.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0023] The ionic crosslinked porous polyimide polymer of the present invention not only has precise chloride ion active sites, but also has a permanent porous structure and a large specific surface area, which enables reactants to fully contact the active sites, thereby significantly improving its catalytic performance and adsorption-capture performance.
[0024] The preparation method of the present invention can synthesize ionic cross-linked porous polyimide polymers containing chloride ion active sites without Friedel-Crafts reaction, and has the advantages of simple reaction process, low cost and environmental friendliness.
[0025] The preparation method of this invention specifically employs an ordered two-step heating and dissolution reaction. The quaternization reaction precisely targets the reaction sites, and Friedel-Crafts alkylation is omitted, reducing potential errors and variables during the preparation process and improving the repeatability and reliability of the polymer (catalyst). Furthermore, the simplified preparation process also means lower preparation costs, making this polymer (catalyst) more economical for industrial applications. Attached Figure Description
