“…In the past decades, the scientific community has shown great research interests in the rational design and targeted synthesis of COPs and COFs with customizable functional properties for their wide range of applications in diverse fields including gas adsorption and separation, drug delivery systems, heterogeneous catalysis, proton conduction, and smart sensing materials. COPs and COFs are a fascinating class of materials with interesting characteristics such as low gravimetric density, exceptional thermal and chemical stability, and tunable surface properties ( Fang et al, 2015 ; Kang et al, 2016 ; Ma et al, 2016 ; Han et al, 2017 ; Medina et al, 2017 ; Karak et al, 2018 ; Liu et al, 2019 ; Wang et al, 2019 ; Xu et al, 2019 ; Dai and Liu, 2020 ; Feng et al, 2020 ; Giri et al, 2020 ; Hua et al, 2020; Lee and Cooper, 2020 ; Wang et al, 2020 ; Skorjanc et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2023 ; Zhang et al, 2023 ). The polygonal skeletons of COPs and COFs are completely pre-designable, synthetically controlled, and highly organized throughout the material.…”
