Abstract: A microporous organic triazine polymer network of repeating triazine units copolymerized with hydrocarbon aromatic monomer units and/or heterocyclic aromatic monomer units arranged in a three dimensional porous network containing polyamine groups covalently bonded through an amino linkage to at least a portion of the aromatic monomer units is provided. Method to prepare the microporous organic triazine polymer network are also provided. A method for removal of carbon dioxide from a gaseous mixture employing the microporous organic triazine polymer network is also provided.

Abstract: Electrolyte compositions for secondary batteries having a metal anode are provided. The compositions include an electrolyte salt of an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, zinc, or aluminum; at least one solvent which solubilizes the electrolyte salt; and up to 25 wt. % of a selected non-polar additive. The solvent is selected from cyclic sulfones, cyclic sultones, cyclic ethers, partially fluorinated sulfonamides, fluorinated solvents and glymes. The nonpolar additive is selected from aromatic hydrocarbons, partially fluorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, fluorinated monoethers, partly fluorinated polyethers, fluorinated phosphate esters and fluorinated linear sulfones. Multiple combinations of metal salts, solvents and nonpolar additives having a coulombic efficiency of with respect to plating and stripping of the metal of at least 90% are provided.
