Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid development of global industrialization has led to serious environmental pollution in the form of excessive CO2, heavy metal, and organic pollution emissions. These pollutants have adverse effects on human health and natural environments. Hence, environmental governance is critical for sustainable development regarding our use of resources and environmental preservation. Porous polymers, especially porous organic polymers (POPs), have received increasing attention for their high stability, surface area, and abundant modification sites. Thus, these polymers have remarkable implications for environmental conservation.

This Special Issue in Polymers, “Functional porous polymers: Synthesis and application”, is devoted to the most recent advancements in the synthesis and environmental applications of functional porous materials. Both research articles and short reviews are welcome. We are interested in papers considering different kinds of porous polymers, including, but not limited to covalent organic frameworks (COFs), hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCPs), and other porous polymers. Papers exploring porous carbons and hybrid materials derived from porous polymers will also be considered, as will those considering organic pollutant and heavy metal removal, carbon capture, utilization,  and storage (CCUS), among other topics.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
Wearable energy storage devices require high mechanical stability and high-capacitance flexible electrodes. In this study, we design a flexible supercapacitor electrode consisting of 1-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNT), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and manganese dioxide nanowires (MnO2 NWs). The flexible and conductive CNT/CNF-MnO2 [...] Read more.
Wearable energy storage devices require high mechanical stability and high-capacitance flexible electrodes. In this study, we design a flexible supercapacitor electrode consisting of 1-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNT), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and manganese dioxide nanowires (MnO2 NWs). The flexible and conductive CNT/CNF-MnO2 NWs suspension was first prepared via ultrasonic dispersion approach, followed by vacuum filtration and hot press to form the composite paper electrode. The morphological studies show entanglement between CNT and CNF, which supports the mechanical properties of the composite. The CNT/CNF-MnO2 NWs electrode exhibits lower resistance when subjected to various bending angles (−120–+120°) compared to the CNT/CNF electrode. In addition, the solid-state supercapacitor also shows a high energy density of 38 μWh cm−2 and capacitance retention of 83.2% after 5000 cycles. Full article
