One of the most pressing environmental concerns of our age is the escalating level of atmospheric CO2. Intensive efforts have been made to investigate advanced porous materials, especially porous organic polymers (POPs), as one type of the most promising candidates for carbon capture due to their extremely high porosity, structural diversity, and physicochemical stability. This review provides a critical and in-depth analysis of recent POP research as it pertains to carbon capture. The definitions and terminologies commonly used to evaluate the performance of POPs for carbon capture, including CO2 capacity, enthalpy, selectivity, and regeneration strategies, are summarized. A detailed correlation study between the structural and chemical features of POPs and their adsorption capacities is discussed, mainly focusing on the physical interactions and chemical reactions. Finally, a concise outlook for utilizing POPs for carbon capture is discussed, noting areas in which further work is needed to develop the next-generation POPs for practical applications. Significant progress has been made in the exploration of porous organic polymers (POPs) as potential porous solid adsorbents for carbon capture. A detailed correlation study between the structural and chemical features of POPs and their adsorption capacities is discussed, mainly focusing on physical interactions and chemical reactions.
