Abstract

Dimensionality for conjugated micro-porous polymers (CMP-nD, n = 0, 1, 2) is proven to be of great importance for tailoring their photophysical properties. Moreover, CMP-nD can further be converted into boron and nitrogen co-doped porous carbons (nDBN, n = 0, 1, 2) with maintained 0D, 1D, and 2D nano-structures and highly efficient catalytic performance.

Keywords: B/N co-doped porous carbons; Zn-air batteries; conjugated microporous polymers; dimensionality control; oxygen reduction reaction.
