Abstract

A template-free method was introduced to prepare mesoporous poly(ionic liquid) complexes by employing a variety of multivalent carboxylic acids to electrostatically crosslink imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid)s in diethyl ether. The as-synthesized porous networks exhibit good structural stability and large specific surface area up to 290 m2 gāˆ’1. Their performance in dye removal from ethanol was demonstrated to be superior to activated carbon and mesoporous silica.
