Hypercrosslinked porous polymers (HPPs), known for their high surface area and abundant micropores, effectively adsorb dye molecules and facilitate their degradation under light, making them a highly attractive solution. Herein, we synthesized donor-acceptor (DA) based TPA-TAZ HPP through Friedel−Crafts polymerization of triphenylamine as a donor and 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (TCT) as an acceptor for adsorption and photo-degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB). The resulting TPA-TAZ HPP exhibits an impressive surface area of 1823 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>–1</sup>, significant thermal stabilities (<em>T</em><sub>d5</sub>: 663 °C, <em>T</em><sub>d10</sub>: 674 °C, char yield: 75 wt%), and a small band gap of up to 2.04 eV. The porous framework, abundant adsorption sites, and electronegative characteristics of TPA-TAZ HPP enable it to achieve outstanding adsorption performance. It demonstrated removal efficiencies of nearly 99 % for both RhB and MB within 5 minutes, with remarkable adsorption capacities of up to 951 mg g<sup>–1</sup> for RhB and 858 mg g<sup>–1</sup> for MB at ambient temperature. Additionally, TPA-TAZ HPP exhibited exceptional photocatalytic degradation efficiencies, achieving up to 88 % for RhB and 96 % for MB, with reaction rate constants of 5.78 × 10 <sup>–2</sup> min<sup>–1</sup> and 9.62 × 10<sup>–2</sup> min<sup>–1</sup>, respectively. The superior performance of TPA-TAZ HPP can be attributed to its high surface area, small band gap, and donor-acceptor framework, which collectively facilitate efficient charge transfer, thereby enhancing both adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. Our findings suggest that this research could guide the effective design of donor–acceptor-based HPPs as promising photocatalysts for a wide range of photocatalytic applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":278,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects","volume":"722 ","pages":"Article 137239"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This coating combined polyaniline (PANI) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), creating a superhydrophobic surface with the efficient photothermal conversion properties. The fabrication process included the deposition of PANI via the in-situ polymerization, followed by the impregnation with PDMS.
