“…Owing to their high specific surface area and porosity, tunable and designable structure, low density, ease of functionalization, and metal-free feature, POPs have triggered a lot of research attention from diverse fields. Similar to other porous materials, the potential applications of POPs include gas adsorption and separation, 13,60,61 heterogeneous catalysis, 17,62–65 luminescence, 66,67 chemical and biological sensing, 68,69 energy storage and conversion, 70–73 optoelectronics, 74,75 drug delivery, 76 and many others. 63,75,77–83 Judiciously selecting building blocks would afford POPs with targeted structures and properties.…”

“…They exhibit the potential to be used in a broad different applications such as gas adsorption, [14] pollutants removal, [15] photocatalysis, [16,17] optoelectronic devices, [18] and energy storage. [19] Attending to their inorganic or organic composition they can be mainly divided into three principal categories: zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and porous organic polymers (POPs) as shown in Figure 1.…”

poor applicability for movable applications. Therefore, the development of new technologies to store renewable energy is really important to achieve the transition to a greener energy system. [3] Although new battery technologies will likely meet the need for cost-effective energy storage (1-3 days) for short time scales, fuels are the only effective option for longerterm, seasonal storage, and long-distance transportation applications. [4] Collecting and loading solar energy into electric power and more interestingly directly into valuable chemicals and fuels, as nature does through photosynthesis, is a highly desirable approach to solve this challenge. Since Honda and Fujishima [5] discovered the possibility to emulate this natural phenomenon using TiO 2 as photocatalyst more than 40 years ago, the scientific community has been trying to overcome the challenges hindering the commercialization of water splitting and CO 2 reduction. [6,7] During the past years, a large variety of systems have been proposed to drive the so-called artificial photosynthesis (AP), most of them based on inorganic semiconductors (ISs), usually metal oxides and metal chalcogenides. IS are able to absorb part of the solar spectrum and promote charge separation into electron and holes. In fact, there is a lot of recent work in the literature reviewing the use of ISs as photoabsorbers in photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical (PEC), and photovoltaic (PV) systems. [8,9] The achievements and improvements performed in this area have been always enormous. In this sense, among the huge number of materials explored, TiO 2 has been by far the most investigated until now due to its unique properties: high photoactivity and chemical stability, availability, and nontoxicity. [10,11] However, some ISs, and TiO 2 in particular, present well-known shortcomings in terms of low light absorption in the visible part of solar spectrum and fast charge recombination that limits electron donor-acceptor process. Therefore, the energy conversion efficiency achieved until now is still low. The improvement of this efficiency relies on the use of new materials that are able to harvest solar light and active toward CO 2 /N 2 reduction and water splitting. The most successful strategies to improve the photocatalyst performance so far have been: i) the modification of the optoelectronic properties of TiO 2 or other ISs, [12] ii) the use of organic materials as semiconductors, Solar energy conversion plays a very important role in the transition to a more sustainable energy system. In this sense, so many systems have been proposed to drive artificial photosynthesis, most of them based on inorganic semiconductors, and the achievements performed continue every day. However, most of these systems present well-known shortcomings as low light absorption, fast charge recombination, and lack of tunability, thus limiting their efficiency. The use of organic polymers in general and conjugated porous polymers (CPPs) in particular, opens the door to a multitude of new possibilities...

“…Therefore, exploring novel porous adsorbents for efficient adsorption and removal of dyes is still of current mainstream direction. 12 Porous organic polymers (POPs), 13 a novel type of porous materials have been widely used in catalysis, 14 gas storage and separation, 15 adsorption, sensor technology, 16 and energy storage and conversion 17 owing to their large specic surface area, low skeleton density, diverse structures, and good thermal stability. In the last several years, researchers have made great efforts to enhance the adsorption capacity of the POP frameworks toward organic dyes via rational design.…”
