Fabrication of conjugated polyimides with porous crosslinked networks and their application as cathodes for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Conjugated porous polymers were successfully synthesized through dynamic covalent condensation polymerization using aromatic anhydrides and triacylhydrazine benzene. The obtained conjugated polymers with unique chemical stability, high specific surface area and electrochemically active carbonyl functional groups exhibited excellent performance as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
