The project (Agarwal/Senker) aims at synthesizing electrolyte-host systems based on covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) or porous polymers (PPs). They feature nanoporosities which can be varied systematically in pore size and dimensionality and are adaptable in their chemical functionality to absorb different electrolytes. Based on electrospinning, we will shape the COF/PP hosts into fibres, membranes or sponges. This introduces an intriguing multiscale porosity for which we aim to investigate and understand its impact on charge and mass transport in the confined structured hosts.
