Recently, one of the most important scientific issues for a better future life for humanity is achieving the ability to intelligently harvest, store, and utilize energy with good efficiency because we are facing critical environmental pollution and exhaustion of energy resources. Moreover, dramatic developments in advanced electronics, such as portable and wearable devices and electric vehicles, are being realized. Therefore, energy storage systems (ESSs) are very important for the operation of these advanced electronics. Among the energy storage materials, redox-active polymers are very attractive for ESSs because they have outstanding advantages compared with metal-based energy storage materials. For this reason, redox-active polymers are currently attracting much attention. In this review, we classify the redox-active organic groups of redox-active polymers. In addition, the latest advances in redox-active polymers and their promising application potential for ESSs are discussed with a specific focus on precise molecular designs, nanoarchitectonics, and other new approaches.

最近，实现人类更美好生活的最重要的科学问题之一就是，由于我们面临着严重的环境污染和能源枯竭，实现高效智能地收集，存储和利用能源的能力。此外，正在实现诸如便携式和可穿戴设备以及电动车辆之类的先进电子设备的巨大发展。因此，储能系统（ESS）对于这些先进电子设备的运行非常重要。在储能材料中，氧化还原活性聚合物对ESS极具吸引力，因为与金属基储能材料相比，它们具有突出的优势。由于这个原因，氧化还原活性聚合物目前引起了很多关注。在这篇评论中，我们将氧化还原活性聚合物的氧化还原活性有机基团分类。此外，还讨论了氧化还原活性聚合物的最新进展及其在ESS中的潜在应用潜力，重点是精确的分子设计，纳米建筑学和其他新方法。
