As　a　unique　class　within　the　versatile　family　of　microporous　materials.　compared　with　ordinary　conjugated　polymers　or　porous　materials.　conjugated　microporous　polymers(CMPs)　not　only　have　pi-conjugated　framework　but　also　have　many　micropores.　Since　their　discovery　in　2007.　CMPs　have　been　intensively　studied　as　an　important　subclass　of　porous　materials.　and　various　interesting　properties　and　possible　applications　have　been　discovered　and　described.　A　wide　range　of　chemical　reactions.　building　blocks　and　synthetic　method　offer　a　tremendous　number　of　CMPs　with　different　properties　and　specific　structures.　which　drives　the　rapid　growth　of　the　field.　CMPs　have　shown　great　potential　in　solving　energy　and　environmental　problems.　in　particular.　they　have　demonstrated　huge　application　prospect　in　gas　adsorption.　heterogeneous　catalysis.　light　emittance.　sensing.　energy　storage　and　biological　applications.　Since　first　discovered.　CMPs　are　unparalleled　among　porous　materials　because　they　possess　extended　p.conjugated　backbones　along　with　the　chemical　and　thermal　stability.　Nowadays.　the　possibility　to　produce　solvent　processable　CMPs　or　to　generate　thin　films　on　electrodes　all　makes　CMPs　an　exciting　field　for　further　research.　In　this　review.　we　present　the　recent　significant　breakthroughs　and　the　conventional　functions　and　practices　in　the　field　of　CMPs　to　find　useful　applications.　We　start　with　an　initial　historical　look　at　origins　of　porous　materials　and　a　briefly　contrast　between　CMPs　and　other　porous　materials.　Then.　we　present　an　exhaustive　analysis　of　the　design　strategies　with　special　emphasis　on　the　topologies　of　amorphous　porous　organic　materials.　As　following.　we　discuss　the　chemical　synthesis　of　CMPs　that　gives　access　to　a　range　of　potential　applications.　with　a　focus　on　the　up-to-date　overview　of　the　main　fields.　Finally.　we　give　an　outlook　of　the　challenges　and　restrictions　which　CMPs　research　in　the　future.　We　also　draw　some　comparisons　between　CMPs　and　the　growing　range　of　conjugated　crystalline　covalent　organic　frameworks(COFs).
