Abstract
An electrocatalyst includes a substrate and a microporous polymer on the substrate. The microporous polymer includes, in polymerized form, a triptycene of Formula (I) and a phenothiazine of Formula (II) where in Formula (I), R1-14 each individually represent hydrogen, an optionally substituted alkyl, an optionally substituted aryl, with at least two representing hydrogen and in Formula (II), R15-23 each individually represent hydrogen, an optionally substituted alkyl. The triptycene of Formula (I) and the phenothiazine of Formula (II) are linked by methylene units.
