1. A network polymer, the network polymer is represented by Formula (I)
[Q-co-Zx]m  Formula (I)
in which
Q is a redox active a bidentate, tridentate, tetradentate, pentadentate or a hexadentate monomeric organic moiety comprising a carbocyclic structure and at least one carbonyl group or a carboxyl group presented on the carbocyclic structure, Q having a redox potential of 0.5 V to 3.0 V with reference to Li/Li+ electrode potential under standard conditions or −2.54 V to −0.04 V with reference to SHE,
Z is a co-monomeric moiety selected from a bidentate, tridentate, tetradentate, pentadentate and a hexadentate chemical moiety,
x indicates the molar ratio of Z:Q and ranges from 0.2 to 3, and
m ranges from 5 to 1,000
wherein at least one of Q and Z of each monomer of the network polymer is a tridentate, tetradentate, pentadentate or a hexadentate organic moiety linked to at least one of Q and Z of another monomer of the network polymer; and
wherein the network polymer has a weight average molecular weight of at least 1500 Dalton and a solubility in water of equal or less than 1.0 microgram per mL at room temperature, wherein the carbocyclic structure Q is represented by Formula (III):
