Research Progress of Application of Porous Polymer in Energy Storage

Abstract:

Nowadays, one of the research emphases in clean energy field is to apply porous polymer as energy storage media to capture and save abundant energy. Researches in this area focus on theoretical methods and syntheses of new materials. Researches on theoretical methods include investigations on mechanical strength, characteristic of heat and mass transfer, internal structure and hydrophilicity of materials using mathematical, physical and chemical methods. Syntheses of new materials include synthesis of porous carbon and porous metal organic frameworks materials and construction of battery structure use polymer organics as matrix.
