Organically synthesized porous carbon (OSPC) is a subclass of conjugated microporous polymer materials that have shown potential applications as anodes in ion batteries. However, a challenging, low-yielding, multistep synthetic route (the A method) has hindered further exploration of this exciting family. Here, OSPC-1 has been synthesized via an alternative, efficient one-pot method from commercially available reagents (the B method), hereafter referred to as OSPC-1b in contrast to OSPC-1a, where it is synthesized via the A method. Characterization revealed the same polymer structure and the highest surface area to date of an OSPC (or OSPC analogue) family member for OSPC-1b with 909 m g . OSPC-1b was tested as an anode for Li-ion batteries, demonstrating the same high capacity, fast charging, resistance to degradation, and inhibition of the formation of dangerous lithium dendrites as OSPC-1a. Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of OSPC-0 were evaluated for the first time, agreeing with previously predicted values, giving scope for the design and targeting of specific properties.
