In this talk we will introduce a novel class of polymeric materials we developed recently: nanostructured polymeric gels that are hierarchically porous, and structurally tunable in terms of size, shape, composition, hierarchical porosity, and chemical interfaces. These novel gel materials can function as organic building blocks to offer an array of advantageous features such as intrinsic 3D nanostructured conducting framework, exceptional electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity to store and transport ions, and synthetically tunable structures and chemical interface. They have been demonstrated powerful for a number of applications in sustainable energy technologies, from electrodes for high-energy supercapacitors, functional binders for lithium batteries, frameworks for composite polymeric electrolytes for solid-state batteries, to promising metal-free electrocatalysis.<br/>
