Abstract
To overcome the issues of fossil fuels, the development of efficient, eco-friendly, and sustainable renewable energy resources is immensely required. The energy acquired from renewable resources needs effective energy storage devices in which the supercapacitor (SC) has grabs much consideration to store the obtained electrochemical energy. These devices are comprised of different electrode materials in which the porous organic polymers (POPs) have specifically shown significant performance due to their high electrochemical active nature and also have the capability to store a decent amount of energy. The POPs based electrode materials have attained worthy longer life cyclic efficiencies and exceptional specific power outcomes. Herein, we have provided an overview of the design concepts of the POPs as effective electrode materials being employed in SC applications, along with their operational progression because of synthetic approaches and their effects on the structure and overall electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. Finally, the work has been summarized along with future prospects to show the unique properties of POPs as electrode materials for supercapacitor applications.
