Structure–performance correlation guided applications of covalent organic frameworks

Interfacial Synthesis of 2D COF Thin Films

“…The reversible B-O bond gives the material excellent repairability, resulting in a highly regular pore structure and a high specific surface area. Solvothermal synthesis is still the main strategy for preparing COFs powder [13][14][15].…”

Preparation of a triazine porous organic polymer thin film by nanoparticle-polymer reticulation for high-efficient molecule/ion separation

“…11 Recently, POPs have been endowed with great potential as the next generation of advanced membrane materials for the precise separation of molecules and ions. 12,13 However, despite the signicant advances in the fabrication of POP membrane devices, the poor processability of POPs owing to their inherent infusible and insoluble property, 14,15 hinders the fabrication of POP membranes with high-efficient separation performance. In addition, the high-energy consumption and complex procedures for the synthesis of POPs on a small scale remains a great challenge.…”

Selective photo-reduction of CO2 to methanol using Cu-doped 1D-Bi2S3/rGO nanocomposites under visible light irradiation

“…Numerous two-dimensional materials, including MOFs, 4,23 COFs, 6 exfoliated WS 2 , 24 MoS 2 and g-C 3 N 4 , 25 and graphene, 26 demonstrate photocatalytic behaviour under specific circumstances. Graphene and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), the most acceptable two-dimensional nanosheet structures, show a huge capacity for different applications including transistors, optoelectronics, drug delivery, hydrogen production, CO 2 reduction, energy storage devices, sensors, lubrication, catalysis, etc.…”
