ABSTRACT

In recent years, due to advancements in fuel cells and environmental issues such as global warming, Hydrogen (H2) as a high-quality and renewable energy source carrier has gained significant attention worldwide. Due to its abundant availability and clean combustion, it is one of the greatest substitutes to replace present petroleum energy resources. However, the production of H2 is a major challenge of its own. As a result, significant research has recently been performed in the development of cost-effective porous polymers (PPs) for H2 production. Conjugated microporous polymers (CMP), selective hydrogen removal in a membrane reactor, and porous conjugated polymer (PCP) are some of the porous polymer applications for environment-friendly H2 production. In this chapter, we addressed recent developments in PPs and their issues linked to H2 production and synthesizing techniques. Additionally, this chapter will provide comprehensive research advancements as well as a route map to assist in the development of PPs as a commercially viable H2 production.
