Abstract
Polyphosphazenes (PPZ) and their derivatives have grasped the immense desirability of scientists predominantly due to their exceptional physico-chemical properties, such as chain flexibility, increased thermal stability, and high flame resistance. Substantial developments have been achieved with the exploration of new functionalities, including surface-responsive groups, topological, and morphological features. In this review, we present historical developments and the role of PPZ derivatives in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for viable developments. We provide a basic classification of PPZ-based materials, focusing on their morphologies and the tunability of these morphologies to targeted dimensions. Additionally, the progress in the structural development of PPZ and their derivatives with covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent organic-inorganic frameworks (COIFs) has been discussed. Furthermore, we discussed the role of surface morphologies and surface area of PPZ-based materials for the adsorptive removal of toxic dye and heavy metals. Additionally, we summarize the applications of PPZ-based materials, including adsorption, heat shielding, and electrochemical applications (such as energy production and energy storage).
期刊介绍:
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
