Organic Micropollutants Removal:
We pioneered the first mesoporous β-cyclodextrin polymers (P-CDP), which charge and affinity can be rationally modified. These polymers remove a broad range of emerging micropollutants at rates >100 times faster than activated carbons, even at environmentally relevant concentrations and with performance unaffected by natural organic matter or inorganic matrix constituents.
