ABSTRACT: The key factor responsible for fast diffusion and mass transfer through a porous material is the availability of a widely open pore-interior having complete accessibility from their surface. But, due to their highly stacked nature, ordered two dimensional (2D) materials fail to find real-world applicability, as it is difficult to take advantage of their complete structure, especially the inner cores. In this regard, three dimensional (3D) nano-structures constructed from layered two-dimensional crystallites could prove advantageous. However, the real challenge is to cultivate a porous nanostructure with ordered pores where the pores are surrounded by crystalline walls. Herein, a simple yet versatile in situ gas phase foaming technique has been employed to address these cardinal issues. The use of baking soda leads to the continuous effervescence of CO2 during the crystallization of foam, which creates ripples and fluctuations on the surface of the 2D crystallites. The induction of ordered micropores within the disordered 3D architecture synergistically renders fast diffusion of various guests through the interconnected pore network. The high-density defects in the hierarchically porous structure help in ultrafast adsorption (99% of total pore volume)

Fig. 4. The mechanism of foam synthesis. The plausible mechanism has been represented depending upon the SEM and

TEM images. The stepwise synthesis reveals that the foams are formed by controlled gas foaming through the 2D nano-sheets. The numerical values that have been mentioned herein represent the scale bars for the sequential steps: fibers (5 μm), sheets (2 μm), sheets having defects (1 μm), COF-foam (5 μm).

throughout its volume. The identification of pores in submicron size was not possible due to the resolution limit of the imaging facility. As evident from the pore-size distribution profile, crystalline COF powders contain a maximum distribution of pores in the lower size range (3.1 to 82.7 microns), whereas the corresponding crystalline COF-foam contains more pores with volume fraction in the higher size range (2.3 to 390 microns) (Figure 2m and Figure S15, SI). These pores with higher diameter contribute significantly to the overall pore volume fraction of the foam. To check the mechanical strength of the TpPa-2-foam, nano-mechanical mapping measurement was performed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The calculation reveals the Young’s modulus of 4.21 GPa at a scanning range of 2 μm × 2 μm (Figure S16, SI). The N2 adsorption analyses of the TpPa-2, TpPa-NO2, TpAzo, TpBD-Me2–foams provide the key information related to their porosity and the nature of the pore channels (Figure 3, Section S-8, SI). The N2 adsorption analysis was performed at 77 K temperature with the activated foam samples. TpPa-2, TpPaNO2, TpAzo, TpBD-Me2–foams show surface area of 579, 254, 1054 and 797 m2g-1 respectively (Figure 3a). The hysteresis present in the isotherm could be assigned to the defects present i.e. the random pores within the foam matrix. The high gas adsorption near to 1 bar pressure could be attributed to the capillary condensation, which further confirms the presence of mesopores. Such hysteresis loop is absent in the N2 adsorption isotherms of the powdered crystalline COF samples.5 The pore size distributions have been calculated by non-linear density functional theory (NLDFT), and they clearly confirm the presence of  2 nm sized micropores within the foam (Figure 3b and Figure S17, SI). These micropores are due to the presence of the microporous 2D crystallites within the foam matrix. The low intensity ( 0.05 unit) of the pore size distribution is due to the lower order among the pore channels. The Barrett-JoynerHalenda (BJH) analysis suggests that instead of regular pore size, the macropores in the COF-foam range from 10 to 150 nm, which proves the irregularities within the network (Figure 3c and Figure S18, SI). We have employed the SEM and TEM imaging techniques to understand the mechanism behind the induction of the controlled disorder in the ordered microporous COFs (Figure 4). First of all, the mixing of amine and PTSA leads to the formation of the PTSA-amine salt, which adopts a fiber-like morphology. These fibers (~2-6 μm of length ~50-100 nm of width) are formed via the Namine–HOacid [D, d, ; Davg = 2.76 Å, davg = 1.88 Å;  = 176°; PTSA-Pa-2 salt]12d hydrogenbonding between the amine functionality (–NH3+) of the diamine molecules and the sulphonate groups (–SO3–) from the PTSA.12d,15 The addition of aldehyde Tp initiates the interconnection among the fibers, which leads to the formation of 2D sheets (with ~5 μm of width). The addition of water further improves the stacking of the sheets. When bicarbonate is added to the mixture, the excess PTSA, after the imination reaction, readily reacts with the bicarbonate resulting in continuous CO2 effervescence. The generated CO2 passes

through the 2D COF-sheets and creates pores, thereby inducing disorder among the ordered COF crystallites. The emergence of random pores is reasonable, as sequential addition of bicarbonate was performed for a couple of minutes. The continuous effervescence helps in raising the COF-paste into the foam. Freeze-drying helps in holding the shape of the 3D nano-structure and creates additional pores

due to the fast removal of water from the micropores. The dried foam was then kept inside the oven at 90 °C for 12 hrs. The unreacted bicarbonate releases excess CO2 during heating, which further generates extrinsic porosity. The persistent gas releasing results in open cell foams in the polymer like intermediate until the crystallization starts at 90 °C. The Bronsted acid

controls the dynamic covalent connections between the building units, thereby reconstructing the framework and maintaining the crystallinity of the system.16 PTSA could further help in retaining the crystallinity during the foaming in the presence of the NaHCO3 base (if any bond-breakage takes place). This is crucial for the foam making, as inducing defects by any base after the stacking (completion of crystallization)

could lead to the delamination of the sheets or degradation of the framework (Figure S19, SI). Again, the bicarbonate addition is limited to a certain extent, as excess addition could lead to the total disruption of the framework or complete exfoliation of the sheets. However, the extent of porosity could be controlled through the limited effervescence to achieve increased mass transfer.

Unlike oxidative degradation, photocatalysis or other methods of separating pollutants, adsorption-based separation is advantageous owing to the cost-effectiveness, ease of operation and its property of fast removal. In parallel, the incorporation of defects within the crystalline foam material has provided the richness of solution-state host–guest chemistry in the solid state. The microstructure merits of the TpPa-2, TpPa-NO2, TpAzo, TpBD-Me2–foams has endowed

them very low density. This low density, along with their super strong adsorption ability is illustrated by the rapid removal of various dyes and inorganic-organic pollutants from the water (Section S-10, SI). Among all the foams, TpPa-2 shows the highest efficiency, and it removes pollutants within 10 seconds of the addition (Fig. 5c-5d). Pollutants such as Methylene Blue (MB, ~ 99%), Rhodamine B (RhB, ~ 96%), Acid Fuchsin (AF, ~ 99%), Rose Bengal

(RB, ~ 99%), Iodine (I2, ~ 99%), Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4, ~ 96%), Bisphenol A (BPA, ~ 79%) and Decabromodiphenyl Ether (decaBDE, ~ 70%) have been removed efficiently from water using TpPa-2-foam (Figure 5d, Figure S20, SI). TpPa-NO2-foam also removes almost 99% of dyes (MB ~ 99%, RhB ~ 98%, AF ~ 99%, RB~ 99%) from the water (Figure S21, SI). Other foams such as TpBD-Me2 and TpAzo-foam exhibit efficient removal of all the dyes (7299%) from water (Figures S22 and S23, SI). The high percentage of removal efficiency has also been validated in different pH (1-12) to make the foam more vulnerable to the environmental conditions. The experiment reveals that the TpPa-2-foam can retain its activity (removal efficiency of MB up to 99%) in the entire pH range of 1-12 (Figure 5b and Figure S24, SI).17 The TpPa-2-foam has also been utilized for 5 cycles without affecting its performance (Figure 5g and Figure S25, SI). After performing one cycle, the foam was treated with acetone to collect the adsorbent. The foam was then reused for the next cycle. The stability of the foam in water also eliminates the chance of any secondary pollution from the adsorbent (Figures S26 and S27, SI). Due to the continuous pore channels, pollutants diffused through the macropores and remained adsorbed inside the micropores and meso-pores (Figure 5f, Section S-11). In order to explore their removal efficiency, we have measured their kinetics of adsorption. It is important to note that TpPa-2 foam almost reaches 90% of its equilibrium efficiency within 10 seconds (Figure 5c, insight). The pseudo-second order rate constant (kobs) of MB, RhB, AF, RB, BPA and I2 adsorption are 11.8, 7.4, 1.4, 30.3, 182.3 and 4.3 g mg-1 min-1 (Figures S28 and S29, SI). Among all, the crucial plastic pollutant, BPA, removal rate constant is the highest among all reported porous pollutant removers such as β-cyclodextrin-based polymers (~10 times higher) and other carbon-based porous materials (almost 100 times higher) (Table S3, SI).18 The high rate constants of iodine and BPA could be attributed to the small size of the pollutants that fit the ordered micro-pores. Interconnected pores also offer the complete access of the ordered intrinsic nano-pores of the COF-foam unlike the random networks within the porous amorphous polymers. The maximum uptake capacity of MB at equilibrium is found to be 108 mg g-1, which is also very high (Figures S30 and S31, SI). The high surface area of the foam enhances the efficiency of the dye adsorption. The fast uptake has been further probed by determining the flow-through experiment where MB solution of 50 μM was passed through a packed column of TpPa-2foam. The flow rate was also improved with air pressure without altering the removal efficiency of ~ 99% (Figure S32, SI). In order to support the fast removal efficiency of the foams, the flow velocity of water through the interconnected pores has been estimated by numerical simulations using the FlowDict software package (Section S-12, SI). The flow of water was simulated along the Z-axis of the segmented 3D image model of COF-foam with a pressure drop of 20 Pa (Figure 6n). The average flow velocity in the TpPa-2-foam in the X-direction is 0.0015 ms-1 and in the Y- and Z-direction is 0.0022 and 0.0028 ms-1 respectively. This contributes significantly towards the high pollutant adsorption into the foam matrix (Figures 6l-n). Furthermore, due to the interconnected hierarchical porous nature of the foam, the range of velocities was observed within a block in all the directions (Figure 6l). TpPa-NO2, TpBD-Me2 and TpAzo-

foam also exhibit high average flow rate of 0.0012, 0.0014 and 0.0011 ms-1 respectively (Figure S35, SI). Both TpPa-2–foam and TpPa-2 COF powder were tested for the removal of Methylene Blue from the water. It has been observed that COF-foam can remove more than 99% of pollutant (MB) within 10 seconds as compared to the COF powder that can only efficiently remove 50% after 3 hrs (Figures 6a and b). This can be attributed to their less interconnected pore channels and highly stacked 2D structures, which make the inner surfaces less accessible for guest inclusion. This can be easily shown from the 2.5D confocal images (Figures 6h-k). The time-dependent confocal study reveals that in any time interval, COF adsorbs the dyes only on the crystallite surface. The periphery of dye molecules around the COF powder proves the inability of the dyes in penetrating the surface of the COF. However, in the case of the foam, the macropores on the wall provide easy infiltration for the pollutants (distribution of dyes), and interconnected pore channels allow continuous mass flow, unlike that of the COF powder (Figures 6d-g). The random distribution of dye molecule within the foam-matrix proves the aspect mentioned above. The confocal images, represented herein, are collected from different layers in different time intervals in the equilibrium condition. The flow velocity simulation study from tomography also proves the superiority of foams over the COFs. The average flow velocity in TpPa-2-foam is 0.0028 ms-1 as compared to 0.0004 ms-1 in COF powder (Figures 6m and 6o). Again, the pseudo-second order rate constant (kobs) for the adsorption of MB for TpPa-2 COF is 0.0026 g mg-1 min-1 whereas the TpPa-2-foam exhibits the value of 11.8 g mg-1 min-1 (Figure S33, SI). Thus, a wide range of pore size distribution (mentioned earlier), high flow velocity and ease of accessibility to the internal pores make the foam a suitable candidate for ultrafast pollutant removal. CONCLUSION In pursuit of a new strategy for boosting the adsorption property of two-dimensional COFs, we have endeavored to synthesize hierarchically porous covalent organic framework foams via a simple yet widely applicable gas foaming technique. The use of baking soda helps in the rising of foam, and this further creates different pores within the framework matrix. Employing this technique, we have succeeded in forming a 3D architecture decorated with a 2D covalent network. The intentionally created surface defects and interconnected pore structures help in fast adsorption followed by diffusion of pollutants through the pore channel. The foam has been used to remove various pollutants e.g. dyes, iodine, potassium permanganate and Bisphenol A and persistent organic pollutant, Decabromodiphenyl Ether. The foam has been used as a scavenger for the removal of micropollutants from the water even at very low concentrations. The fast uptake property, recyclability and ability to adsorb different pollutants indicate that these newly developed COF-foams deserve further exploration.
