Abstract
Covalent-organic framework (COF) membranes are increasingly used for many potential applications including ion separation, fuel cells, and ion batteries. It is of central importance to fundamentally and quantitatively understand ion transport in COF membranes. In this study, a series of COF membranes is designed with different densities and arrangements of functional groups and subsequently utilize molecular simulation to provide microscopic insights into ion transport in these membranes. The membrane with a single-sided layer exhibits the highest chloride ion (Cl-) conductivity of 77.2 mS cm-1 at 30 °C. Replacing the single-sided layer with a double-sided layer or changing layer arrangement leads to a decrease in Cl- conductivity up to 33% or 53%, respectively. It is revealed that the electrostatic repulsion between ions serves as a driving force to facilitate ion transport and the positions of functional groups determine the direction of electrostatic repulsion. Furthermore, the ordered pores generate concentrated ions and allow rapid ion transport. This study offers bottom-up inspiration on the design of new COF membranes with moderate density and proper arrangement of functional groups to achieve high ion conductivity.

Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 328:103178.

Abstract
Developing new hybrid materials is critical for addressing the current needs of the world in various fields, such as energy, sensing, health, hygiene, and others. C-dots are a member of the carbon nanomaterial family with numerous applications. Aggregation is one of the barriers to the performance of C-dots, which causes luminescence quenching, surface area decreases, etc. To improve the performance of C-dots, numerous matrices including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), and polymers have been composited with C-dots. The porous crystalline structures, which are constituents of metal nodes and organic linkers (MOFs) or covalently attached organic units (COFs) provide privileged features such as high specific surface area, tunable structures, and pore diameters, modifiable surface, high thermal, mechanical, and chemical stabilities. Also, the MOFs and COFs protect the C-dots from the environment. Therefore, MOF/C-dots and COF/C-dots composites combine their features while retaining topological properties and improving performances. In this review, we first compare MOFs with COFs as matrices for C-dots. Then, the recent progress in developing hybrid MOFs/C-dots and COFs/C-dots composites has been discussed and their applications in various fields have been explained briefly.

Abstract
The ion extraction and electro/photo catalysis are promising methods to address environmental and energy issues. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of promising template to construct absorbents and catalysts because of their stable frameworks, high surface areas, controllable pore environments, and well-defined catalytic sites. Among them, ionic COFs as unique class of crystalline porous materials, with charges in the frameworks or along the pore walls, have shown different properties and resulting performance in these applications with those from charge-neutral COFs. In this review, current research progress based on the ionic COFs for ion extraction and energy conversion, including cationic/anionic materials and electro/photo catalysis is reviewed in terms of the synthesis strategy, modification methods, mechanisms of adsorption and catalysis, as well as applications. Finally, we demonstrated the current challenges and future development of ionic COFs in design strategies and applications.

Abstract
Electrochromic porous thin films are promising for applications in smart windows and energy-efficient optical displays. However, their generally poor processing ability and excessive processing times remain grand challenges. Herein, we report the design and convenient synthesis of core-altered N-arylated viologens with aldehyde groups (πV-CHO) as new building blocks to prepare soluble, viologen-embedded ionic porous polymers. We also demonstrate that these polymers can be easily solution-processed by drop-coating to fabricate high-quality electrochromic films with tunable optoelectronic properties in a cost-effective fashion. The prepared films exhibit excellent electrochromic performance, including a low driving voltage (1.2-1.4 V), fast switching times (0.8-1.7 s), great coloration efficiency (73-268 cm2 C-1), remarkably high optical contrast up to 95.6%, long cycling stability, and tunable oxidation and reduction colors. This work sheds important light on a new molecular engineering approach to produce redox-active polymers with combined properties of intrinsic porosity, reversible and tunable redox activity, and solution processability. This provides the materials with an inherently broad utility in a variety of electrochemical devices for energy storage, sensors, and electronic applications.

Highly Conductive Imidazolate Covalent Organic Frameworks with Ether Chains as Solid Electrolytes for Lithium Metal Batteries. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202402202.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based electrolytes are often used for Li+ conduction as they can dissociate the Li salts efficiently. However, high entanglement of the chains and lack of pathways for rapid ion diffusion limit their applications in advanced batteries. Recent developments in ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs) showed that their highly ordered structures provide efficient pathways for Li+ transport, solving the limitations of traditional PEO-based electrolytes. Here, we present imidazolate COFs, PI-TMEFB-COFs, having methoxyethoxy chains, synthesized by Debus-Radziszewski multicomponent reactions and their ionized form, Li+@PI-TMEFB-COFs, showing a high Li+ conductivity of 8.81 mS cm-1 and a transference number of 0.974. The mechanism for such excellent electrochemical properties is that methoxyethoxy chains dissociate LiClO4, making free Li+, then those Li+ are transported through the imidazolate COFs' pores. The synthesized Li+@PI-TMEFB-COFs formed a stable interface with Li metal. Thus, employing Li+@PI-TMEFB-COFs as the solid electrolyte to assemble LiFePO4 batteries showed an initial discharge capacity of 119.2 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C, and 82.0 % capacity and 99.9 % Coulombic efficiency were maintained after 400 cycles. These results show that iCOFs with ether chains synthesized via multicomponent reactions can create a new chapter for making solid electrolytes for advanced rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
High-performance covalent organic framework (COF) fibers are demanded for an efficient capturing of blue osmotic power because of their excellent durability, simple integration, and large scalability. However, the scalable production of COF fibers is still very challenging due to the poor solubility and fragile structure of COFs. Herein, for the first time, it is reported that COF dispersions can be continuously processed into macroscopic, meter-long, and pure COF fibers using a wet spinning approach. The two presented COF fibers can be directly used for capturing of osmotic energy, avoiding the production of composite materials that require other additives and face challenges such as phase separation and environmental issues induced by the additives. A COF fiber exhibits power densities of 70.2 and 185.3 W m-2 at 50-fold and 500-fold salt gradients, respectively. These values outperform those of most reported systems, which indicate the high potential of COF fibers for capturing of blue osmotic energy.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have recently shown great potential for photocatalytic hydrogen production. Currently almost all reports are focused on two-dimensional (2D) COFs, while the 3D counterparts are rarely explored due to their non-conjugated frameworks derived from the sp3 carbon based tetrahedral building blocks. Here, we rationally designed and synthesized a series of fully conjugated 3D COFs by using the saddle-shaped cyclooctatetrathiophene derivative as the building block. Through molecular engineering strategies, we thoroughly discussed the influences of key factors including the donor-acceptor structure, hydrophilicity, specific surface areas, as well as the conjugated/non-conjugated structures on their photocatalytic hydrogen evolution properties. The as-synthesized fully conjugated 3D COFs could generate the hydrogen up to 40.36 mmol h-1 g-1. This is the first report on intrinsic metal-free 3D COFs in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution application. Our work provides insight on the structure design of 3D COFs for highly-efficient photocatalysis, and also reveals that the semiconducting fully conjugated 3D COFs could be a useful platform in clear energy-related fields.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been investigated and applied to energy conversion devices. However, issues of metal agglomeration, low metal loading, and substrate stability have hindered realization of the SACs' full potential. Recently, covalent organic framework (COF)-based SACs have emerged as promising materials to enable highly efficient catalytic reactions. Here, we summarize the representative COF-based SACs and their wide application in clean energy devices and conversion reactions, such as hydrogen evolution reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction, nitrogen reduction reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, and oxygen evolution reaction. Based on their catalysis conditions, these reactions are categorized into photocatalyzed and electrocatalyzed reactions. We also summarize their design strategies, including heteroatom inclusion, donor-acceptor pairs, pore engineering, interface engineering, etc. Although COF-based SACs are promising, more efforts, such as linkage engineering, functional groups, ionization, multifunctional sites for cocatalyzed systems, etc., could improve them to be the ideal SAC materials. At the end, we provide our perspectives on where the field will proceed in the next 5 years.

Abstract
The increasing global energy consumption has led to the rapid development of renewable energy storage technologies. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been extensively studied and utilized for reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy storage. Nevertheless, designing new materials for LIB applications with high capacity and long-term stability is highly desired but remains a challenging task. Recently, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as superior candidates for LIB applications due to their high porosity, well-defined pores, highly customizable structure, and tunable functionalities. These merits enable the preparation of tailored COFs with predesigned redox-active moieties and suitable porous channels that can improve the lithium-ion storage and transportation. This review summarizes the recent progress in the development of COFs and their composites for a variety of LIB applications, including (quasi) solid-state electrolytes, electrode materials, and separators. Finally, the challenges and potential future directions of employing COFs for LIBs are also briefly discussed, further promoting the foundation of this class of exciting materials for future advances in energy-related applications.

Abstract
Successful oral insulin administration can considerably enhance the quality of life (QOL) of diabetes patients who must frequently take insulin injections. Oral insulin administration, on the other hand, is seriously hampered by gastrointestinal enzymes, wide pH range, mucus and mucosal layers, which limit insulin oral bioavailability to ≤ 2%. Therefore, a large number of technological solutions have been proposed to increase the oral bioavailability of insulin, in which polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) are highly promising for oral insulin delivery. The recently published research articles chosen for this review are based on applications of PNPs with strong future potential in oral insulin delivery, and do not cover all related work. In this review, we will summarize the controlled release mechanisms of oral insulin delivery, latest oral insulin delivery applications of PNPs nanocarrier, challenges and prospect. This review will serve as a guide to the future investigators who wish to engineer and study PNPs as oral insulin delivery systems.

Abstract
Anion exchange membranes with high anion conductivity are highly desired for electrochemical applications. Increasing ion exchange capacity is a straightforward approach to enhancing anion conductivity but faces a challenge in dimensional stability. Herein, we report the design and preparation of three kinds of isoreticular covalent organic framework (COF) membranes bearing tunable quaternary ammonium group densities as anion conductors. Therein, the cationic groups are integrated into the backbones by flexible ether-bonded alkyl side chains. The highly quaternary ammonium-group-functionalized building units endow COF membranes with abundant cationic groups homogeneously distributed in the ordered channels. The flexible side chains alleviate electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance caused by large cationic groups, ensuring a tight interlayer stacking and multiple interactions. As a result, our COF membranes achieve a high ion exchange capacity and exceptional dimensional stability simultaneously. Furthermore, the effect of the ionic group density on the ion conductivity in rigid COF channels is systematically explored. Experiments and simulations reveal that the ionic group concentration and side chain mobility jointly determine the ion transport behavior, resulting in the abnormal phenomenon that the anion conductivity is not positively correlated to the ionic group density. The optimal COF membrane achieves the ever-reported highest hydroxide ion conductivity over 300 mS cm-1 at 80 °C and 100% RH. This study offers insightful guidelines on the rational design and preparation of high-performance anion conductors.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. To develop long-life LSBs, there is an urgent need to develop functional materials with higher catalytic activity toward polysulfides and reduced dendritic lithium growth. Herein, an electrostatic field electrocatalyst is designed in a zwitterionic covalent organic framework (COF) with a "two birds with one stone" ability for simultaneously overcoming obstacles in the lithium metal anode and sulfur cathode. The synergism between cationic and anionic moieties in the zwitterionic COF creates an electrostatic field for bidirectionally catalyzing S cathode conversion. Besides, the rational design of zwitterionic COF as a separator modification layer allows lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) dissociation and fast lithium-ion conduction, which alleviates lithium dendrite growth and thus improves the cycling life of LSBs. This contribution not only pioneers the application of zwitterionic COF in the field of LSBs but also highlights the potential of electrostatic field electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Ionic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) featuring both crystallinity and ionic characteristics have attracted tremendous attention in recent years. Compared with single anion- or cation-containing ionic COFs, zwitterionic COFs possess unique functionalities beyond single ionic COFs such as tunable charge density and superhydrophilic and highly ion-conductive characteristics, endowing them with huge potential in various applications. However, it remains a considerable challenge to directly synthesize robust, highly crystalline zwitterionic COFs from the original building blocks. Herein, we report a green hydrothermal synthesis strategy to prepare highly crystalline zwitterionic vinylene-linked COFs (ZVCOFs) from the predesigned zwitterionic building block by utilizing 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as the high-efficiency catalyst for the first time. Detailed theoretical calculations and experiments revealed that both the high catalytic activity of DMAP and the unique role of water contributed to the formation of highly crystalline ZVCOFs. It was found that the participation of water could not only remarkably reduce the activation energy barrier and thus enhance the reaction reversibility but also enable the hydration of zwitterionic sites and facilitate ordered layered arrangement, which are favorable for the ZVCOF crystallization. Benefiting from the highly π-conjugated structure and hydrophilic characteristic, the obtained ZVCOFs achieved an ultrahigh sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 2052 μmol h-1 under visible light irradiation with an apparent quantum yield up to 47.1% at 420 nm, superior to nearly all COF-based photocatalysts ever reported. Moreover, the ZVCOFs could be deposited on a support as a photocatalytic film device, which demonstrated a remarkable photocatalytic performance of 402.1 mmol h-1 m-2 for hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
Lithium (Li)-metal batteries (LMBs) possess the highest theoretical energy density among current battery designs and thus have enormous potential for use in energy storage. However, the development of LMBs has been severely hindered by safety concerns arising from dendrite growth and unstable interphases on the Li anode. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) incorporating either redox-active or anionic moieties on their backbones have high Li-ion (Li+) conductivities and mechanical/chemical stabilities, so are promising for solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs) in LMBs. Here, we synthesized anthraquinone-based silicate COFs (AQ-Si-COFs) that contained both redox-active and anionic sites via condensation of tetrahydroxyanthraquinone with silicon dioxide. The nine Li+-mediated charge/discharge processes enabled the AQ-Si-COF to demonstrate an ionic conductivity of 9.8 mS cm-1 at room temperature and a single-ion-conductive transference number of 0.92. Computational studies also supported the nine Li+ mechanism. We used AQ-Si-COF as the solid electrolyte interphase on the Li anode. The LMB cells with a LiCoO2 cathode attained a maximum reversible capacity of 188 mAh g-1 at 0.25 C during high-voltage operation. Moreover, this LMB cell demonstrated suppressed dendrite growth and stable cyclability, with its capacity decreasing by less than 3% up to 100 cycles. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of our redox-active and anionic COFs and their practical utility as SEI in LMB.

Abstract
Cellulose-based conductive materials (CCMs) have emerged as a promising class of materials with various applications in energy and sensing. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the synthesis methods and properties of CCMs and their applications in batteries, supercapacitors, chemical sensors, biosensors, and mechanical sensors.

In addition, CCMs play a key role in sensing applications. Their biocompatibility allows for the development of implantable biosensors and biodegradable environmental sensors to meet the growing demand for health and environmental monitoring. Looking to the future, this review emphasizes the need for scalable synthetic methods, improved mechanical and thermal properties, and exploration of novel cellulose sources and modifications. Continued innovation in CCMs promises to revolutionize sustainable energy storage and sensing technologies, providing environmentally friendly solutions to pressing global challenges.

Abstract
Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs) form as layered 2D polymers whose sheets stack through high-surface-area, noncovalent interactions that can give rise to different interlayer arrangements. Manipulating the stacking of 2D COFs is crucial since it dictates the effective size and shape of the pores as well as the specific interactions between functional aromatic systems in adjacent layers, both of which will strongly influence the emergent properties of 2D COFs. However, principles for tuning layer stacking are not yet well understood, and many 2D COFs are disordered in the stacking direction. Here, we investigate effects of pendant chain length through a series of 2D imine-linked COFs functionalized with n-alkyloxy chains varying in length from one carbon (C1 COF) to 11 carbons (C11 COF). This series reveals previously unrecognized and unanticipated trends in both the stacking geometry and crystallinity. C1 COF adopts an averaged eclipsed geometry with no apparent offset between layers. In contrast, all subsequent chain lengths lead to some degree of unidirectional slip stacking. As pendant chain length is increased, trends show average layer offset increasing to a maximum of 2.07 Å in C5 COF and then decreasing as chain length is extended through C11 COF. Counterintuitively, shorter chains (C2-C4) give rise to lower yields of weakly crystalline materials, while longer chains (C6-C9) produce greater yields of highly crystalline materials, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Molecular dynamics simulations corroborate these observations, suggesting that long alkyl chains can interact favorably to promote the self-assembly of sheets. In situ proton NMR spectroscopy provides insights into the reaction equilibrium as well as the relationship between low COF yields and low crystallinity. These results provide fundamental insights into principles of supramolecular assembly in 2D COFs, demonstrating an opportunity for harnessing favorable side-chain interactions to produce highly crystalline materials.

Abstract
Recent electrochemical energy conversion devices require more advanced proton conductors for their broad applications, especially, proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) construction. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging class of organic porous crystalline materials that are composed of organic linkers and connected by strong covalent bonds. The unique characteristics including well-ordered and tailorable pore channels, permanent porosity, high degree of crystallinity, excellent chemical and thermal stability, enable COFs to be the potential proton conductors in fuel cell devices. Generally, proton conduction of COFs is dependent on the amount of water (extent of humidity). So, the constructed fuel cells accompanied complex water management system which requires large radiators and airflow for their operation at around 80 °C to avoid overheating and efficiency roll-off. To overcome such limitations, heavy-duty fuel cells require robust proton exchange membranes with stable proton conduction at elevated temperatures. Thus, proton conducting COFs under anhydrous conditions are in high demand. This review summarizes the recent progress in emerging COFs that exhibit proton conduction under anhydrous conditions, which may be prospective candidates for solid electrolytes in fuel cells.

Abstract
Developing effective synthetic strategies as well as broadening functionalities for zwitterionic materials that comprise moieties with equimolar cationic and anionic groups still remains a huge challenge. Herein, we develop two zwitterionic vinylene-linked covalent organic frameworks (Zi-VCOF-1 and Zi-VCOF-2) that are a type of novel hydrophilic material. Zi-VCOF-1 and Zi-VCOF-2 are obtained directly through the convenient Knoevenagel condensation of new sulfonic-pyridinium zwitterionic monomers with aromatic aldehyde derivatives. This is the first report on zwitterionic COFs being constructed by the bottom-up functionalization approach from predesigned zwitterionic monomers. Both Zi-VCOFs exhibit a high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (HER) because of their appropriate optical property and outstanding hydrophilicity. Specifically, Zi-VCOF-1 and Zi-VCOF-2 show photocatalytic HER of 13,547 and 5057 μmol h-1 g-1, respectively. Interestingly, the photocatalytic HER of Zi-VCOF-1 is about 2.68 times of that of Zi-VCOF-2, although they differ by only one methyl group in sulfonic-pyridinium zwitterionic pairs. The photocatalytic HER of Zi-VCOF-1 is not only the highest in the vinylene-linked COFs but also outstanding among the most reported COFs. This is the first application of zwitterionic COFs for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, which would open a new frontier in zwitterionic COFs and be helpful for the design of other photocatalytic materials.

Abstract
2D materials that can provide long-range ordered channels in thin-film form are highly desirable for proton exchange membranes (PEMs). Covalent organic framework nanosheets (CONs) are promising 2D materials possessing intrinsic porosity and high processability. However, the potential of CONs in PEMs is limited by loose sheet stacking and interfacial grain boundary, which lead to unsatisfied mechanical property and discontinuous conduction pathway. Herein, chitosan (CS), a natural polymer with rich NH2 groups, is designed as the linker of dual-sulfonate CONs (CON-2(SO3 H)) to obtain CON-2(SO3 H)-based membrane. Ultrathin CON-2(SO3 H) with high crystallinity and large lateral size is synthesized at water-octanoic acid interface. The high flexibility of CS chains and their electrostatic interactions with SO3 H groups of CON-2(SO3 H) enable effective connection of CON-2(SO3 H), thus endowing membrane dense structure and exceptional stability. The stacked CON-2(SO3 H) constructs regular hydrophilic nanochannels containing high-density SO3 H groups, and the electrostatic interactions between CON-2(SO3 H) and CS form interfacial acid-base pairs transfer channels. Consequently, CON-2(SO3 H)@CS membrane simultaneously achieves superior proton conductivity of 353 mS cm-1 (under 80 °C hydrated condition) and tensile strength of 95 MPa. This work highlights the advantages of proton-conducting porous CON-2(SO3 H) in advanced PEMs and paves a way in fabricating robust CON-based membranes for various applications.

Abstract
Phenylalaninol (PAL) is a significant chemical intermediate widely utilized in drug development and chiral synthesis, for instance, as a reactant for bicyclic lactams and oxazoloisoindolinones. Since the absolute stereochemical configuration significantly impacts biological action, it is crucial to evaluate the concentration and enantiomeric content of PAL in a quick and convenient manner. Herein, an effective PAL enantiomer recognition method was reported based on a chiral ionic covalent organic framework (COF) fluorescent sensor, which was fabricated via one-step postquaternization modification of an achiral COF by (1R, 2S, 5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl-carbonochloridate (L-MTE). The formed chiral L-TB-COF can be applied as a chiral fluorescent sensor to recognize the stereochemical configuration of PAL, which displayed a turn-on fluorescent response for R-PAL over that of S-PAL with an enantioselectivity factor of 16.96. Nonetheless, the single L-MTE molecule had no chiral recognition ability for PAL. Moreover, the ee value of PAL can be identified by L-TB-COF. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the chiral selectivity came from the stronger binding affinity between L-TB-COF and R-PAL in comparison to that with S-PAL. L-TB-COF is the first chiral ionic COF employed to identify chiral isomers by fluorescence. The current work expands the range of applications for ionic COFs and offers fresh suggestions for creating novel chiral fluorescent sensors.

Bioinspired design of Na-ion conduction channels in covalent organic frameworks for quasi-solid-state sodium batteries. Nat Commun 2023; 14:3066. [PMID: 37244894 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-38822-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes are considered among the most promising candidates for developing practical solid-state sodium batteries. However, moderate ionic conductivity and narrow electrochemical windows hinder their further application. Herein, inspired by the Na+/K+ conduction in biological membranes, we report a (-COO-)-modified covalent organic framework (COF) as a Na-ion quasi-solid-state electrolyte with sub-nanometre-sized Na+ transport zones (6.7-11.6 Å) created by adjacent -COO- groups and COF inwalls. The quasi-solid-state electrolyte enables selective Na+ transport along specific areas that are electronegative with sub-nanometre dimensions, resulting in a Na+ conductivity of 1.30×10-4 S cm-1 and oxidative stability of up to 5.32 V (versus Na+/Na) at 25 ± 1 °C. Testing the quasi-solid-state electrolyte in Na||Na3V2(PO4)3 coin cell configuration demonstrates fast reaction dynamics, low polarization voltages, and a stable cycling performance over 1000 cycles at 60 mA g-1 and 25 ± 1 °C with a 0.0048% capacity decay per cycle and a final discharge capacity of 83.5 mAh g-1.

Abstract
sp2 carbon-conjugated covalent organic frameworks (sp2c-COFs) with superb in-plane π-conjugations, high chemical stability, and robust framework structure are expected to be ideal films/membranes for a wide range of applications including energy-related devices and optoelectronics. However, so far, sp2c-COFs have been mainly limited to microcrystalline powders, and this consequently hampered their performances in devices. Herein, we report a simple and robust methodology to fabricate large-area, free-standing, and crystalline sp2c-COF films (TFPT-TMT and TB-TMT) on various solid substrates (e.g., fluorine-doped tin oxide, aluminum sheet, polyacrylonitrile membrane) by self-assembly monolayer-assisted surface-initiated Schiff-base-mediated aldol polycondensation (namely, SI-SBMAP). The resultant sp2c-COF films show lateral sizes up to 120 cm2 and tunable thickness from tens of nanometers to a few micrometers. Owing to the robust framework and highly ordered quasi-1D channels, the sp2c-COF membrane-based osmotic power generator presents an output power density of 14.1 W m-2 under harsh conditions, outperforming most reported COF membranes as well as commercialized benchmark devices (5 W m-2). This work demonstrates a simple and robust interfacial methodology for the fabrication of sp2c-COF films/membranes for green energy applications and potential optoelectronics.

Abstract
Metal single atoms show outstanding electrocatalytic activity owing to the abundant atomic reactive sites and superior stability. However, the preparation of single atoms suffers from inexorable metal aggregation which is harmful to electrocatalytic activity. Here, ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs) are employed as the sacrificial precursor to mitigate the metal aggregation and subsequent formation of bulky particles. Molecular dynamics simulation shows that iCOFs can trap and confine more Co ions as compared to neutral COFs, resulting in the formation of a catalyst composed of Co single atoms and uniformly distributed Co nanoparticles (CoSA &CoNP-10 ). However, the neutral COFs derive a catalyst composed of Co atomic clusters and large Co nanoparticles (CoAC &CoNP-25 ). The CoSA &CoNP-10 catalyst exhibits higher oxygen bifunctional electrocatalytic activities than CoAC &CoNP-25 , coinciding with the density functional theory results. Taking the CoSA &CoNP-10 as the air cathode in Zn-air batteries (ZABs), the aqueous ZAB presents a high power density of 181 mW cm-2 , a specific capacity of 811 mAh g-1 as well as a long cycle life of 407 h at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , while the quasi-solid state ZAB displays a power density of 179 mW cm-2 and the cycle life of 30 h.

Abstract
A general synthetic approach to halogenated tetraaryl-ammonium salts has been developed and illustrated crystallographically. Bromide ammonium salts used as common synthetic intermediates together with Suzuki coupling of these bromides to a family of boronic acids provided a simplified strategy for arylation. Resolution of the C2 subset of spiro-bicarbazolium derivatives led to the first examples of enantiopure spiro-bicarbazoliums and the assignment of their absolute configuration by comparison of computational and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. An ECD comparison with Prelog's spirobifluorenes is provided. The absolute configuration of the meta-bromide spiro-bicarbazolium salt was confirmed by anomalous scattering. Cruciform and stellate tetra-substituted salts provide a test of the limits of the methodology, and their structures suggest them to be candidates for MOF building blocks.

Abstract
A phosphorus anode is a promising option for energy-storage applications because of its high theoretical specific capacity and safe lithiation potential. However, the multiphase phosphorus lithiation/delithiation reactions and soluble reaction intermediates cause sluggish reaction kinetics and loss of active materials. Herein, a novel local electric field (LEF) strategy is proposed to inhibit the intermediates dissolution and promote the reaction kinetics by optimizing ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs). Among them, the LEF induced by the cationic covalent organic framework effectively enhances the electrochemical performance of the phosphorus anode. The strong electrostatic interaction between the polyphosphides and cationic covalent organic framework confines the dissolution of active materials and tailors the electronic structure of polyphosphides to accelerate the reaction kinetics. The cationic covalent-organic-framework-assisted phosphorus anode provides a high capacity of 1227.8 mAh g-1 at 10.4 A g-1 (8.6 C) and a high-capacity retention of 87% after 500 cycles at 1.3 A g-1 . This work not only broadens the application of iCOFs for phosphorus anode but also inspires the great potential of the local electric field in battery technology.

Abstract
Design elements extracted from biological ion channels guide the engineering of artificial nanofluidic membranes for efficient ionic transport and spawn biomimetic devices with great potential in many cutting-edge areas. In this context, polymeric nanofluidic membranes can be especially attractive because of their inherent flexibility and benign processability, which facilitate massive fabrication and facile device integration for large-scale applications. Herein, the state-of-the-art achievements of polymeric nanofluidic membranes are systematically summarized. Theoretical fundamentals underlying both biological and synthetic ion channels are introduced. The advances of engineering polymeric nanofluidic membranes are then detailed from aspects of structural design, material construction, and chemical functionalization, emphasizing their broad chemical and reticular/topological variety as well as considerable property tunability. After that, this Review expands on examples of evolving these polymeric membranes into macroscopic devices and their potentials in addressing compelling issues in energy conversion and storage systems where efficient ion transport is highly desirable. Finally, a brief outlook on possible future developments in this field is provided.

Abstract
Ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs) have attractive properties that make them suitable for use as ion transport materials, as energy storage media, and for metal sorption. However, the synthetic pathways to prepare iCOFs are limited. Herein, we prepare an iCOF via a single-step reaction. The synthesized materials were isolated as polycrystalline nanowires. The theoretical and experimental data reveal that the synthesized iCOFs are predominately assembled into staggered configurations. The materials exhibit an uptake capacity of 3.5 g·g-1 for iodine. The ab initio calculations point to the role of bromide counterions, forming I2Br- as stable ions within the framework.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a disruptive material platform for various novel applications including nanofiltration for water purification due to their excellent physicochemical features. Nevertheless, the currently available approaches for preparing COF membranes need stringent synthesis conditions, prolonged fabrication time, and tedious post-processing, leading to poor productivity. Herein, a simple and efficient layer-by-layer stacking assembly strategy is developed based on electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to rapidly generate ionic COF membranes due to the uniform driving force for nanosheet assembly. A new two-cell EPD design avoids the usual EPD problems such as bubbles and acidic/alkaline microenvironments in the near-electrode region in aqueous EPD processes. Ultrathin COF membranes with homogenous structures can be produced within several minutes. Consequently, the prepared COF membranes exhibit outstanding permselectivity and possess good stability and anti-pressure ability due to their uniform architecture and unique chemical composition.

Abstract
CO2, an acidic gas, is usually emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels and leads to the formation of acid rain and greenhouse effects. CO2 can be used to produce kinds of value-added chemicals from a viewpoint based on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). With the combination of unique structures and properties of ionic liquids (ILs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), covalent organic frameworks with ionic liquid-moieties (ILCOFs) have been developed as a kind of novel and efficient sorbent, catalyst, and electrolyte since 2016. In this critical review, we first focus on the structures and synthesis of different kinds of ILCOFs materials, including ILCOFs with IL moieties located on the main linkers, on the nodes, and on the side chains. We then discuss the ILCOFs for CO2 capture and conversion, including the reduction and cycloaddition of CO2. Finally, future directions and prospects for ILCOFs are outlined. This review is beneficial for academic researchers in obtaining an overall understanding of ILCOFs and their application of CO2 conversion. This work will open a door to develop novel ILCOFs materials for the capture, separation, and utilization of other typical acid, basic, or neutral gases such as SO2, H2S, NOx, NH3, and so on.

Abstract
In addition to improving ion conductivity and the transference number, single-Li-ion conductors (SLCs) also enable the elimination of interfacial side reactions and concentration difference polarization. Therefore, the SLCs can achieve high performance in solid-state batteries with Li metal as anode and organic molecule as cathode. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are leading candidates for constructing SLCs because of the excellent 1D channels and accurate chemical-modification skeleton. Herein, various contents of lithium-sulfonated covalently anchored COFs (denoted as LiO3S-COF1 and LiO3S-COF2) are controllably synthesized as SLCs. Due to the directional ion channels, high Li contents, and single-ion frameworks, LiO3S-COF2 shows exceptional Li-ion conductivity of 5.47×10−5 S·cm−1, high transference number of 0.93, and low activation energy of 0.15 eV at room temperature. Such preeminent Li-ion-transported properties of LiO3S-COF2 permit stable Li+ plating/stripping in a symmetric lithium metal battery, effectively impeding the Li dendrite growth in a liquid cell. Moreover, the designed quasi-solid-state cell (organic anthraquinone (AQ) as cathode, Li metal as anode, and LiO3S-COF2 as electrolyte) shows high-capacity retention and rate behavior. Consequently, LiO3S-COF2 implies a potential value restraining the dissolution of small organic molecules and Li dendrite growth.

Abstract
![]()
Two-dimensional covalent
organic frameworks (2D COFs) represent
a family of crystalline porous polymers with a long-range order and
well-defined open nanochannels that hold great promise for electronics,
catalysis, sensing, and energy storage. To date, the development of
highly conductive 2D COFs has remained challenging due to the finite
π-conjugation along the 2D lattice and charge localization at
grain boundaries. Furthermore, the charge transport mechanism within
the crystalline framework remains elusive. Here, time- and frequency-resolved
terahertz spectroscopy reveals intrinsically Drude-type band transport
of charge carriers in semiconducting 2D COF thin films condensed by
1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (TPB) and 1,3,5-triformylbenzene
(TFB). The TPB–TFB COF thin films demonstrate high photoconductivity
with a long charge scattering time exceeding 70 fs at room temperature
which resembles crystalline inorganic materials. This corresponds
to a record charge carrier mobility of 165 ± 10 cm2 V–1 s–1, vastly outperforming
that of the state-of-the-art conductive COFs. These results reveal
TPB–TFB COF thin films as promising candidates for organic
electronics and catalysis and provide insights into the rational design
of highly crystalline porous materials for efficient and long-range
charge transport.

Abstract
The prospect of combining two-dimensional materials in vertical stacks has created a new paradigm for materials scientists and engineers. Herein, we show that stacks of two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks are endowed with a host of unique physical properties that combine low densities, high thermal conductivities, and highly negative Poisson's ratios. Our systematic atomistic simulations demonstrate that the tunable mechanical and thermal properties arise from their singular layered architecture comprising strongly bonded light atoms and periodic laminar pores. For example, the negative Poisson's ratio arises from the weak van der Waals interactions between the two-dimensional layers along with the strong covalent bonds that act as hinges along the layers, which facilitate the twisting and swiveling motion of the phenyl rings relative to the tensile plane. The mechanical and thermal properties of two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks can be tailored through structural modularities such as control over the pore size and/or interlayer separation. We reveal that these materials mark a regime of materials design that combines low densities with high thermal conductivities arising from their nanoporous yet covalently interconnected structure.
