Carbon capture

storage

and utilization (CCSU) is recognized as an effective method to reduce the excessive emission of CO

2

. Absorption by amine aqueous solutions is considered highly efficient for CO

2

capture from the flue gas because of the large CO

2

capture capacity and high selectivity. However

it is often limited by the equipment corrosion and the high desorption energy consumption

and adsorption of CO

2

using solid adsorbents has been receiving more attention in recent years due to its simplicity and high efficiency. More recently

a great number of porous organic polymers (POPs) have been designed and constructed for CO

2

capture

and they are proven promising solid adsorbents for CO

2

capture due to their high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area (

S

BET

)

adjustable pore size and easy functionalization. In particular

they usually have rigid skeleton

permanent porosity

and good physiochemical stability. In this review

we have a detailed review for the different POPs developed in recent years

not only the design strategy

but also the

special structure for CO

2

capture. The outlook of the opportunities and challenges of the POPs is also proposed.
