Water quality plays a central role in the well-being of all the living organisms on planet Earth. The ever-increasing human population and consequently increasing industrialization, urbanization, and chemically boosted cultivation are rapidly contaminating already stressed water resources. The availability of clean drinking water has become scarce for masses across the globe, and this situation is becoming alarming in developing countries. Therefore, the immediate need for cost-effective, easily accessible, eco-friendly, portable, thermally efficient, and chemically stable technologies and materials is desperately felt to meet the high global demand for clean water. To search for effective materials for wastewater treatment, the hyper-cross-linked porous polymers (HCPs) have emerged as an excellent class of porous materials for wastewater treatment due to their unique features of high surface area, tunability, biodegradability, and chemical versatility. This review describes the advances in fabrication strategies and the efficient utilization of hyper-cross-linked porous polymers for wastewater treatment. Moreover, this review specifically discusses the hyper-cross-linked porous polymers effectiveness for the separation of the dyes, nutrients, inorganic ions, organic contaminants, and toxic metals ions. Finally, the review provides insight into the challenges and prospects in the area of hyper-cross-linked porous polymers. Overall, the hyper-cross-linked porous polymers with empowering proper functionalization can provide an opportunity for the wastewater treatment not only to remove toxic contaminants but also to make contaminated water useful for various applications.
水质对地球上所有生物的福祉起着核心作用。不断增长的人口以及随之而来的工业化、城市化进程加快，加上化学助力的农业种植，正迅速污染本就不堪重负的水资源。全球各地民众获取清洁饮用水变得愈发困难，在发展中国家，这种情况正变得令人担忧。因此，迫切需要具备成本效益、易于获取、环保、便携、热效率高且化学性质稳定的技术和材料，以满足全球对清洁水的巨大需求。为了寻找用于废水处理的有效材料，超交联多孔聚合物（HCPs）因其高比表面积、可调节性、生物降解性和化学多功能性等独特特性，已成为一类出色的废水处理多孔材料。本文综述了超交联多孔聚合物在制备策略方面的进展以及在废水处理中的高效利用。此外，本文特别讨论了超交联多孔聚合物在分离染料、营养物质、无机离子、有机污染物和有毒金属离子方面的有效性。最后，本文深入探讨了超交联多孔聚合物领域的挑战与前景。总体而言，经过适当功能化的超交联多孔聚合物不仅为去除有毒污染物、实现废水处理提供了契机，还能使处理后的水用于各种用途。
