Abstract

Graphical abstract: Highlights: Hyperporous carbon coatings on 3D printed devices. Simple and efficient immobilization procedure. Highly efficient extraction of pollutants from water based on 3D printed devices. Development of 3D printed stirred extraction devices for pollutant extraction. Abstract: 3D printing by stereolithography (SLA) typically leads to low surface area materials, limiting the application of this advanced manufacturing technique for the extraction of environmental pollutants. Here, a simple and efficient procedure to immobilize highly porous materials on SLA 3D printed devices has been developed using a hypercrosslinked pyrrole-derived hyperporous carbon (HCP-carbon) with a surface area of 3361 m 2 g −1 . The HCP-carbon is directly immobilized to the soft and sticky surface of non-post cured SLA 3D printed devices. The HCP-carbon becomes permanently immobilized to the 3D printed device after UV post curing, obtaining a highly robust and efficient support for the removal of pollutants from water.
