Design and synthesis of ionic porous organic polymers (iPOPs) towards a sustainable environment

Abstract

With rapid globalization and rapid industrialization, environmental sustainability is being affected significantly [1]. On the path of restoring it, several new materials have evolved, and porous materials are one such material that finds their applications in various fields directly related to environmental hazards and their solutions [2]. Ionic porous organic polymers (iPOPs) are one of the newest additions to the porous material family that continue to give exciting results directly related to the sustainable environment [3,4]. This thesis explored some of such iPOPs in environmental remediation, biomedical application, toxic gas sensing, electrochromic device fabrication, and electrocatalysis.
