Abstract：

In the context of global climate change, efficient carbon capture technologies have become key to address the climate crisis, among which membrane separation technologies have shown potential for commercialization due to their low operating costs and modular operation properties. Porous organic polymers (POPs) have attracted much attention in the field of gas separation due to their tunable micro/mesoporous network, high specific surface area, good stability and structural designability. In this paper, the synthesis strategies and structural properties of the main types of POPs (including hyper crosslinked polymers, conjugated microporous polymers, covalent organic frameworks, etc.) with a focus on their recent research progress in CO2 separation membranes were systematically reviewed. Future research needs to focus on precise pore design, interfacial compatibility modulation and scale-up preparation techniques to promote the practical application of POPs in industrial carbon capture.
